After reporting record 2018 earnings, PSA Group say they will reduce their dependence on Europe by launching Peugeot in North America, Citroën in India, and Opel in Russia.
The group’s record full-year sales and earnings were buoyed by the success
Valeo say 2018 profits fell in a “challenging year” marked by emissions-test bottlenecks that hit European car production and a slowdown in China. But they’re optimistic for 2019, predicting sales will outperform auto production by a wider margin
The electric 208 is identified only by small “e” badges and composite inserts on the wheels, and there will be a sports-orientated GT trim level with special seat stitching and fabrics.
By studying humans’ gait, body symmetry, and foot placement, researchers at the University of Michigan are teaching self-driving cars to recognise and predict pedestrians’ motion with greater precision than current technologies. Data collected by vehicles through cameras, lidar and GPS allows the UM researchers to capture video snippets of humans in motion and then recreate them in 3D computer simulation. With that, they have created a ‘biomechanically inspired recurrent neural network’ (Bio-LSTM) that catalogs human movements. With it, they can predict poses and future locations for one or several pedestrians up to about 46 metres from the vehicle, which is about the scale of a city street junction.
Equipping vehicles with the necessary predictive power requires the network to dive into the minutiæ of human movement: the pace of a human’s gait, the mirror symmetry of limbs, and the way foot placement affects stability during walking.
Osram say their second generation of blue multi-mode laser diodes boosts the range to 600 metres and simplifies the system design when used in the auxiliary high beam of the car.

While Audi weren’t first with LED headlamps, they were among the first automakers to truly incorporate LED headlights into design, and Audi was surely the brand that made them famous. Even people who don’t know a thing about cars
The headlamps on the new Renault Clio are 100% LED as standard fitment on all trim levels. They present with the C-shaped light signature that characterises all Renault models, and lend the car a more expressive look underscored by the diamond
