An innovative wireless system that charges electric cars while they are on the road could also be used to control driverless electric vehicles, say the Stanford University team who designed the system. While the new technology has the potential to dramatically increase the driving range of electric vehicles, the researchers concede that large-scale deployment of […]

Speed freaks aim to tame Bloodhound car’s ground-based sonic boom
Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), an aerodynamics team at Swansea University in the UK is playing a vital role in the development of the 1,000 mph Bloodhound Supersonic Car (SSC). “From the nose to the tail, anything that has any kind of aerodynamic influence we are modeling,” says researcher Dr. Ben Evans. “It’s the kind […]
