Siemens press release
Siemens PLM Software and the Michigan-based American Center for Mobility (ACM) announced today a new partnership that brings Siemens’ Simulation and Test solution for Automotive to ACM to support virtual and physical testing and validation of automated and connected vehicles. Siemens is already part of similar strategic initiatives in Singapore and the Netherlands, once considered to be early adopters of AV technology, applications and solutions and now leaders in the testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles and infrastructure in real-world environments.

Fast Company Design
MIT engineers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are tackling the problem of alternative modes of transit in rural areas. They are creating MapLite, which is essentially an autonomous system that doesn’t need a map. It uses GPS data to fetch a "rough estimate" of the car’s location, but then relies on artificial intelligence and LIDAR to trace a correct and safe path to its ultimate destination.

New Atlas The flying taxi scene is now a bustling place, but some are moving faster than others. Where some startups have taken years to move past the prototype stage, others are launching right into things. Workhorse first unveiled its Surefly flying car at the Paris Air Show in June last year, and has now sent it into the air with a person inside for the first time.

MachineDesign With innovation, products are quickly becoming more complex, sophisticated, and personalized. Change is already underway in a number of fields. 3D printing is revolutionizing production of metal parts for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. Next-generation machines are transforming the apparel world, with custom-made clothing to fit an individual’s size and preference. Facilities, like the Adidas "Speedfactory," where automated robots create custom-designed shoes on-demand, threaten to make standardized mass-produced goods a thing of the past.

3Dprint.com 3D printing is used increasingly in projects that require some type of recognition – for instance, CENIT’s 3D software tool can analyze a topologically optimized component and allocate it to the correct bionic component in a CAD catalog, and a cyber security firm fooled the iPhone X facial recognition system with a 3D printed mask. Now, motion control technology provider Moog is teaming up with the University at Buffalo, part of the SUNY System and no stranger to 3D printing, to develop artificial intelligence (AI) for image recognition in metal 3D printing.
