Toyota strengthens itself to take on Tesla in High-Tech Auto Software

0

Toyota Motor Corporation is developing an operating system that will go up against Tesla Inc.’s after tapping a star Silicon Valley roboticist to help put the final touches.

James J. Kuffner Jr., an American roboticist and the Chief Executive Officer of Toyota’s new technology research arm, Woven Planet Holdings, is working on a system called Arene, which allows new features to be installed in a car’s existing hardware over the air and provides a platform for developers to create software. Kuffner is a former Google engineer.

When it comes to over-the-air updates of a car’s OS, Tesla is already the big player. The OS controls everything from braking to Wi-Fi, locking, and lights. The American Electric Vehicles maker has been upgrading its EV’s battery range and autonomous functions remotely via updates since 2012. On an earnings call last week, CEO Elon Musk said Tesla is willing to license its software capabilities to third parties and is already in talks with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

“There are many choices, which is a good thing,” Kuffner, who is in charge of Toyota’s digital activities, said at a briefing last Friday, according to Bloomberg. On being asked whether Toyota is interested in licensing Tesla’s operating systems, he said, “we have a competitive product that can run on many different types of hardware, so maybe in the future, Arene can run on Tesla hardware.”

Toyota, which overtook German carmaker, Volkswagen AG, as the world’s top-selling automaker in 2020, is turning out to face the same challenges as all legacy carmakers as the lines between technology and automobiles become increasingly slim. While mechanical engineering and hardware are the forte for legacy carmakers, they’re facing competition from tech giants like Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and Baidu Inc. that are pumping billions of dollars into new areas of intelligent and connected mobility. Tie-ups between the companies are becoming commonplace.

According to some estimates, conventional automakers might take about three to five years to offer over-the-air updates like Tesla’s that go beyond improving a car’s maps and entertainment systems. And proceeding into the new domain of software development is also costly, which is why global automakers’ R&D budgets have roughly doubled over the past decade.

Woven Planet’s creation has, to some extent, signalled Toyota’s movement in the opposite direction, betting it can take on tech giants at their own game. In January, Woven Planet was created from a tech-research company originally established by Toyota in 2018 and funded to the tune of 300 billion yen ($2.9 billion). An $800 million fund that will invest in early-stage tech companies is one of its several subsidiaries.

In June last year, Kuffner, part of the initial engineering team that built Google’s self-driving cars, was brought onto the Japanese automaker’s board, underscoring the wager Toyota is taking on the tech veteran’s ability to lead its software push.

All three Tottenham Hotspurs players apologize on Twitter and thanked the doctors and other medical staff for their hard work.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said, “‘The club always ring-fences player fine money for good causes and we can think of no better cause to donate these funds to than North Mid’s ‘Thank You’ initiative for staff.”

“NHS staff across the country continue to make sacrifices and put themselves at risk every day to save lives and we hope this contribution will go some way towards providing the recognition that these heroes deserve.”

“Although the circumstances in which we are able to provide the financial support required are regretful, we are pleased to know that we are able to contribute and look forward to working with North Mid on this fantastic initiative.”

North Middlesex University Hospital Trust chief executive Maria Kane also thanked for the gesture from Tottenham Hotspurs.

“I am incredibly proud of every single person who works at North Mid and I am reminded daily of their determination, compassion, and commitment to our patients and the local community.”

“They continue to work tirelessly in incredibly difficult circumstances and I am so pleased that we can give them the recognition they deserve through this initiative.”

Fabrizio Romano predicts the future of the transfer market

0

The Coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on almost every possible aspect of life. The most undeniable fact, though, is that the transfer market has, and will not be the same for a long time now.

Speaking on the situation in the Here We Go podcast Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio said that the number of ,”free” transfers is going to increase in the upcoming transfer window and potentially next summer as well.

A lack of fans in the stadium and reduced income from media and has only made things even more difficult to sustain for clubs all across the world. 

Clubs will now have a tendency to look at free transfers ahead of spending any money on new players. However, that might not stop long term plans for clubs of the stature of Real Madrid. Los Blancos have had plans of investing a record fee in the Frenchman to bring him to the club. 

While it hasn’t stopped clubs across Europe to stop spending completely, it has drastically reduced the number of permanent transfers that were made for a fee this past transfer window. 

Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio reveal their most unexpected transfers of the January window

0

The winter transfer window has now shut, and though no big money deals were made during the mid-season market, there were many steals and loan deals that made the headlines throughout January. 

Speaking on the January window on their latest episode, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio revealed their choices for the most unexpected transfers in the middle of the season on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon.

Romano went with the transfer of Jayden Braaf from Manchester City to Udinese. The winger was scouted heavily by Borussia Dortmund, as a new version of Sancho, who came through the Manchester City academy himself. 

The club blocked Dortmund’s approaches, but later chose to loan the young winger out to Udinese. The manager of the Serie A club is very happy with his new acquisition and has been reportedly left very impressed by the new boy in training. 

According to Francesco Porzio, Ozan Kabak’s deadline day loan move to Liverpool was the most unexpected deal that took place. While the Schalke man was always on the verge of a move away, the transfer to Liverpool materialised out of nowhere and was indeed a very startling for a dormant Liverpool, who looked like they were not going to spend a dime on new centre-backs. 

Intel remains the boss of the semiconductor industry, followed by Samsung & SK Hynix

0

In the latest Top 10 semiconductor sales rankings for 2020 by Gartner, Intel is still dominating the semiconductor industry even though it is having a tough time selling its processors in the market. The top 5 players in the list remain quite the same as last year, Intel in the lead, followed by Samsung, SK Hynix, TSMC and Micron.

Samsung has every right to be in second place as it has expanded in every sector it could be and is again reviving the potential of overtaking Intel, which it did a few years back. The South Korean giant has seen a major boost in revenue, thanks to the demand for electronic devices in the pandemic.

SK Hynix and Micron have seen good growth in their own segment i.e. DRAM and NAND flash memory, respectively. The pandemic has forced everyone to work from home and boosting the need for notebooks which in turn has boosted the growth of microprocessors, DRAM, and NAND flash memory.

Intel remains the boss of the semiconductor industry, followed by Samsung & SK Hynix

Qualcomm also had an amazing 2020 with a variety of 5G based chips and making some pretty big numbers in terms of revenue. This is the reason why it has managed the 5th place from 6th last year, pushing Broadcom to 6th place.

Whereas Texas Instruments retain its 7th position, MediaTek has also seen a major jump in revenue after defeating Qualcomm to be the biggest smartphone chip vendor. This is the reason why it has jump from 13th to 8th position in just a year, on the other hand, Kioxia is also up by 5 ranks from 14th place last year. 

In the 10th place, we have NVIDIA, who has also seen a huge jump in revenue with strong demands for its GPUs in data centres, cloud gaming as well its own gaming GPUs. Overall, we see the major players in the semiconductor industry have taken the stride to be in the top 10, it will be interesting to see if these companies could keep their momentum in 2021.
