SPECIAL GUEST: John Pelliccio, Product Communications, Bose Automotive Systems

Don’t you just hate all the beeps and warnings you get from the safety systems in your car? Some people just turn them off, which defeats the purpose of having these safety systems in the first place. Bose has a solution. They call it “aware signal steering.” And being Bose, it’s all about how you hear sound.

SPECIAL GUESTS: Mike DePetro, Product Manager, Porsche Cars N.A. & John Pelliccio, Product Communications, Bose Automotive Systems

Weight and power consumption are big deals for electric vehicles because automakers want the longest range possible from their batteries. That means scrutinizing over systems they might never have with an internal combustion engine vehicle, like the audio system. Check out how Porsche and Bose worked together to develop the sound system for the all-new Taycan.

SPECIAL GUEST: Michael Luecke, Management Board Member, Bertrandt

Bertrandt may be a name you’ve never heard before, but it’s a large company that’s been around for more than 40 years and it supports its customers through the whole product development process. At CES, Bertrandt revealed an innovation platform, called HARRI that shows its ability in each of the mega trends; e-mobility, autonomy, connectivity and digitalization.

SPECIAL GUEST: Daniel Benchetrite, New Mobility Application, Valeo N.A.

Could the pizza delivery person become a thing of the past? If supplier Valeo has anything to say about it, they will. It has created an autonomous, electric delivery shuttle that can be used to transport all kinds of goods to people, including food. What makes this shuttle unique is that it’s made using existing Valeo technology, like LIDAR and other sensors as well as a 48-volt propulsion system. Not only does that make it more affordable, but it should also make it safer than that pizza delivery person.

SPECIAL GUEST: Carsten Breitfeld, CEO, Faraday Future

Kick off your shoes, rest your feet, put on a warm blanket and turn on the TV. Sounds pretty good, right? That’s the kind of experience Faraday Future wants you to have inside its first vehicle, the FF91.

SPECIAL GUEST: Carsten Breitfeld, CEO, Faraday Future

Faraday Future debuted with a big splash at CES four years ago. Then it ran smack dab into major financial problems which set off a whirlwind of problems with investors. It cancelled plans to build a greenfield plant, and retrenched. Now it looks like they might be putting those problems behind them. Carsten Breitfeld, the CEO, talks about how the company will launch its car this year and how they plan to revolutionize mobility services.

The technology advances in 3D printing have made huge progress in recent years. This is actually a 3D printed engine component by Voxeljet that received FAA approval to be used in aircrafts. Now if you aren’t aware, the process to get a printed part through FAA certification is rigorous and challenging. If companies today are capable of doing this, imagine what doors it opens up for the future in 3D printing 5 years from now. #InternYazaki #CoOpYazaki #CARMBS

SPECIAL GUEST: Uwe Grebe, EVP, Global Business Development, Sales & International Operations, AVL

AVL is a company that does powertrain research and according to a new study it conducted, if a C-segment BEV is made using the average U.S. energy mix, it will take 80,000 to 85,000 miles for that BEV to break even with an ICE vehicle, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

Laser etching is something that I have never seen until today. It is crazy that we have the technology to use lasers for things like this business card holder. I am excited to see how the industry will integrate this more and more. #InternYazaki #CARMBS
