Electric Vehicle Manufacturers Need Engineers with AI and Robotics Skills

by Kathy Pretz

Just about every car manufacturer—including BMW, Ford, General Motors, Jaguar, and Toyota—has announced plans to build more electric vehicles and phase out cars with internal combustion engines. As of early 2018, automakers in Germany had invested US $52 billion in EVs, Chinese car companies $21 billion, and those in the United States at least $19 billion, according to Reuters. BloombergNEF’s 2019 Electric Vehicle Outlook predicts that EVs will make up 57 percent of passenger car sales globally by 2040.

GE Aviation Electrifies Airplane Engines to Meet Carbon Emission Goals

by Kathy Pretz

The aerospace industry is under intense pressure to reduce its impact on the environment. Between 2021 and 2035, the industry will have to offset a total of 2.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, an emissions mitigation approach for the industry.

Internet of Things Technology Will Connect Highways, Street Lights, and Vehicles

by Kathy Pretz

As more and more intelligent cars and autonomous vehicles hit the road, some engineers are thinking about what can be done to smarten up the streets on which they travel.

Doing so could allow smart cars and trucks to exchange information with other vehicles, traffic management centers, and private companies about traffic congestion, accidents, and weather conditions. The key to making it happen is an Internet of Things system that includes sensors embedded in the roadway and on traffic lights.

Security and Privacy in V2G Network
Presented by Neetesh Saxena
Thursday, October 10, 2019, 11:00 am EDT

Abstract:  Smart vehicle-to-grid (V2G) involves intelligent charge and discharge decisions based on user operational energy requirements, such as desired levels of charging and waiting time. V2G should be supported by information management capabilities enabled by a secure network, such as a reliable privacy-preserving payment system. Since electric vehicles (EVs) need to provide their private information to aggregators/servers when charging/discharging at different charging stations, the privacy of the vehicle owners can be compromised if the information is misused, traced, or revealed. In a wide V2G network, where vehicles can move outside of their home network to visiting networks, security and privacy become even more challenging due to untrusted entities in the visiting networks.  In this webinar, I will describe the network security and privacy requirements and challenges for the V2G applications. I will discuss new network security architecture to support V2G along with a scheme with the following security and privacy-preserving features: anonymous authentication, fine-grained access control, anonymous signatures, information confidentiality, message integrity, and a payment system.  Read more.
