Audi Allegedly Used Software to Fake Greenhouse Gas Emissions
By

This article is obtained from here.
Audi cars allegedly fooled environmental regulators by emitting less carbon-dioxide on a testing mount than the cars allowed themselves to spew when on the road, the weekly German paper Bild am Sonntag reports. It’s the same trick that Audi and other Volkswagen brands had earlier used to defeat tests of their diesel cars’ emissions of nitrous oxides.
Nitrous oxides are a component of ground-level smog, which is harmful to health. Carbon emissions are a greenhouse gas.
Both the earlier scam and the current alleged scam were uncovered not in Europe—where most of the test-evasion took place—but in the United States. The nitrous oxides scandal—which has cost VW billions of dollars in fines and compensation and a recall of some 9 million cars—was discovered a year ago by engineers at West Virginia University’s Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions. And the alleged evasion of carbon-emissions testing was found by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), in research conducted in both diesel and gasoline-powered Audis over the summer, the German paper reports.
So far neither Audi nor CARB have commented on the latest report.
The cars defeated the carbon test by using data from the wheels and steering wheel to figure out whether the car was up on a test mount. “If the steering wheel is not moved after the start, a shift program activates itself in automatic gearboxes, with which particularly little CO2 is emitted; if the driver turns the steering wheel, this ‘warm-up strategy’ is deactivated,” says Bild am Sonntag, as rendered by Google Translate.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the carbon-dioxide cheat was discussed by high-level officials of VW and Audi at an event in South Africa in 2013, two years before the nitrous-oxide cheat came to light. “The shifting program needs to be configured so that it runs at 100 percent on the treadmill but only 0.01 percent with the customer,” said Axel Eiser, the head of Audi’s powertrain division, according minutes of the discussions that the newspaper cites.

2016’s Top Ten Tech Cars
By
This article is taken from here.
“We wanted flying cars; instead we got 140 characters,” is venture capitalist Peter Thiel’s famous credo.
But though a freeway in the sky seems as fantastical as ever, we are going to get something even better: a self-driving car.
Such a robot, fully aware of its environment, with 360-degree vision and peerless driving skills, is a matter of when, not if. Humans’ fascination with these machines seems limitless, even though autonomous cars could turn us into mere cargo. And unlike airborne cars, self-drivers could prevent the 1.2 million deaths caused by traffic accidents every year.
It’s no utopian fantasy. Among our Top Ten Tech Cars this year are a robotic Audi that tears around racetracks like a professional driver and an electric Tesla whose impressive autopilot skills are as close as the nearest showroom.
Booming sales should also help accelerate the technological pace. Americans parked 17.5 million new cars in their driveways in 2015, more than any year in history, and the Chinese bought even more. That left the industry awash in profits and able to spend heavily on R&D to bring pioneering cars and technologies to market.
So, carbon-based life form, the message is clear. If you enjoy driving, get your fill while you can. In our list of the 10 cars that are rocking our technological world, we’ve included more than a few choices to help maximize your motoring pleasure. After all, we’re only human.
21st European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2017): Second Call for Papers
ADBIS 2017
Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
24 – 27 September, 2017
http://cyprusconferences.org/adbis2017/
The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a forum
for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote
interaction and collaboration between the database and information system
research communities from European countries and the rest of the world.
The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation
of research on database theory, development of advanced DBMS
technologies, and their advanced applications.
The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions
(regular papers, short papers) reviewed and selected by an international
program committee, as well as of invited talks and tutorials presented by
leading scientists. The official language of the conference will be English. A
Doctoral Consortium and different Workshops will be held in line with the
main conference.
