Last week I paid attention to a webcast from Clear Engines SVP Mike Ringer (ex-Apple, ex-Rivian) on what makes the Clear Air and the approaching Clear SUV code named Gravity, due in 2024, so altogether different from each and every vehicle out and about, including Tesla.
Given Tesla was intensely affected by Apple, too, it will be intriguing to see the distinctions Apple brings to this market when it at long last declares its electric vehicle.
The heading of these three organizations seems, by all accounts, to be in lockstep. It's a shift from the customary needs of the old vehicle makers to a model that is more steady with a tech firm. Vehicle organizations like Clear and Tesla are more similar to Apple than they are like GM or Portage — which I think will ultimately turn into an issue for GM and Passage.
I've likewise had refreshed briefings from Nvidia and Qualcomm on how they are managing independent driving in what could be a free methodology for cutting edge EVs.
We should discuss the eventual fate of electric vehicles, and we'll close with my result of the week: a report on the Bartesian mechanical barkeep by, no doubt about it, Black+Decker.
Nvidia and Qualcomm Vehicle Tech
Nvidia's Drive stage is utilized vigorously in Clear vehicles. An exhaustive gathering of contributions covers the independent vehicle innovation stack from origination and recreation to preparing, to derivation in the vehicles. A significant part of the strength, be that as it may, is in Nvidia's Omniverse reproduction capacity which is utilized broadly in the auto business.
Qualcomm is centered more around cost lessening the vehicle side of this situation with convincing in-vehicle innovation that, on paper, is both less expensive and better than different other options.
Given vehicle organizations are laser centered around edges, you can see a world arising where Nvidia might possess a significant part of the backend and control structure for independent vehicles, and where Qualcomm could be available in the majority of the vehicles with its connected self-driving capacities. Qualcomm has shown that its capacity to keep cell phone costs down can convert into in-vehicle arrangements that can do a lot of exactly the same thing.
An undeniably conceivable future is where Nvidia gives a large part of the independent vehicle backend while Qualcomm gives the complex PC vision innovation in the vehicle.
Vehicle and Driver Communication
I was driving behind a Clear vehicle (presented above) last week and should concede I found the vehicle captivating to check out. It truly isn't similar to some other vehicle out and about. Execution specs and cost are both astounding.
