The work will be done at Clemson's International Center for Automotive Research. (Photo: Craig Mahaffey/Provided)A Clemson University assistant professor has received a $500,000 award from the National Science Foundation to conduct research on reducing emissions from gasoline direct injection engines. According to a news release, direct injection engines have better fuel economy and lower carbon-dioxide emissions than more conventional port fuel injection engines. Onori said the automotive industry has for some time been conducting its own research, and this will be one of the first where the automotive and academic world collaborate on this initiative.
The 5G technology that is integral to the future of connected cars will enable over $2.4 trillion in total economic output across the automotive sector in 2035, a new study revealed. A connected car is a car that is equipped with internet access, and usually also with a wireless local area network. The study released by US chip manufacturer Qualcomm Technologies noted that 5G technology will be at the core of accelerating the benefits of autonomous vehicles. It stated that 5G will help increase productivity and sales value, improve environmental quality and reduce traffic collisions and fatality rates. "The 5G-enabled evolution of the 'connected car' will provide opportunities and challenges for the traditional automotive sector players, for content developers, and software and technology firms," it noted.
