Attack Donkey Kong

Sony and Honda, the two Japanese tech giants, have teamed up to create a new electric car brand called Afeela, which they unveiled at CES 2023. This year, at a media event, they stunned the audience by driving the EV onto the stage using nothing but a PS5 controller.

Humans are just jerks

Firms trying to test driverless cars are finding it difficult because human drivers are such morons.

One of the big ones

Part of today's Qualcomm CES Automotive focused keynote CEO Cristiano Amon and Nakul Duggal, SVP & GM, automotive, announced that Honda chose 3rd generation Snapdragon Automotive cockpit solutions for its upcoming US and Worldwide cars.

It could be a legend

If it can kill the fat monster with the shotgun

Japan's Honda Motor said it will be the world's first automaker to mass produce sensor-packed level 3 autonomous cars that will allow drivers to let their vehicles navigate congested expressway traffic.

Honda is planning to launch sales of a Honda Legend (luxury sedan) equipped with the newly approved automated driving equipment before the end of March 2021,

Self driving cars are a key technology battleground for automakers, with technology companies such as Google parent Alphabet investing billions of dollars in a field expected to boost car sales.

Japan's government earlier in the day awarded a safety certification to Honda's autonomous "Traffic Jam Pilot" driving technology, which legally allow drivers to take their eyes off the road.

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said in the announcement that self driving cars were expected to play a big role in helping reduce traffic accidents, provide transportation for the elderly, and improve logistics.

There are six levels of vehicle autonomy, from 0 to 5, ranging from manual cars or those with simple functions such as cruise control to fully self driving vehicles that would not need steering wheels, or brake and acceleration pedals.

Pauses hydrogen fuel cell cars

Honda is pressing ahead with electrifying its entire product line but is not interested in hydrogen fuel cell cars.

Wants something more electric

Honda will phase out all diesel cars by 2021 in favour of models with electric propulsion systems, as the Japanese automaker moves to electrify all of its European cars by 2025.

Make driving safe again

Computers made it to cars a long time ago. Assisted driving that most people know from Tesla, started with premium brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi in 2016 and brands like Honda even got it to the masses in 20.000 Euro/USD cars. These cars must have front cameras, and Xilinx is clearly number two there

27 million car market share helped too

A year ago, Intel acquired Mobile Eye for $15.3 billion and Intel's CEO has expained why it happened. Safety is in the company’s mind, but Brian Krzanich was honest enough to recognize that Mobile Eye solves a large gap that Intel had before the acquisition.
