General Motors and Honda have announced they are joining forces on autonomous vehicles technology. (Jose Juarez / AP) http://www.trbimg.com/img-5bb50db0/turbine/ct-biz-gm-honda-self-driving-cars-20181003 ] General Motors and Honda are teaming up on self-driving vehicle technology as big automakers and tech giants race to develop the next generation of personal transportation. Japan's Honda Motor Co. will invest $2.75 billion in the autonomous vehicle unit run by General Motors Co., called GM Cruise, which is considered a leader in the nascent industry. The goal, the companies said Wednesday, is to develop an autonomous vehicle that can be produced at a high volume and deployed globally. They will also explore commercial ways to use the Cruise network around the world. The partnership comes as the main players in the autonomous vehicle space shift their focus from developing the technology to figuring out how to make the systems safer and more affordable. Teaming up is a way to add a layer of safety, with some groups using one company's software to operate a vehicle and a partner's software to act as a backup, said Sam Abuelsamid, Navigant Research analyst. "As companies move from the research phase into the production phase, there's a lot of additional complexity that has to be added to those already complex systems," he said. Ride-hailing giant Uber announced in August a partnership with Toyota to develop autonomous vehicles months after one of its self-driving cars struck and killed a pedestrian crossing a dark street in Arizona. Other partnerships include BMW with Fiat Chrysler, chipmaker Intel and visual recognition software maker Mobileye; and German automaker Daimler AG with supplier Bosch to develop autonomous taxis. GM has been widely viewed as being in second place in the autonomous vehicle race, with Google's Waymo on top. Waymo plans to put autonomous vehicles on the road in a ride-sharing service in the Phoenix area before the end of this year, while GM has said it plans to roll out its fully-autonomous vehicles for passengers to use in 2019. Waymo said in May that it would buy up to 62,000 more minivans from Fiat Chrysler to expand its ride-hailing venture. Waymo and Fiat Chrysler also said that they were discussing the use of Waymo technology in Fiat-Chrysler self-driving vehicles that would be sold to the public. Tesla is developing autonomous vehicles, but some analysts doubt that its system is on par with the rest of the industry, because it uses only cameras, ultrasonic sensors and a single radar — compared to dozens of sensors in competitors' systems — and it doesn't have enough memory bandwidth to process all the data, Abuelsamid said. Michelle Krebs, an executive analyst with Autotrader, believes the partnership between GM and Honda is critical in the development of such advanced technology because it requires huge investments that have little promise of a quick payoff. Honda will make an immediate investment of $750 million, and spend $2 billion over 12 years on the project. "Honda chose to collaborate with Cruise and General Motors based on their leadership in autonomous and electric vehicle technology and our shared vision of a zero-emissions and zero-collision world," said Seiji Kuraishi, an executive vice president at Honda. Honda and GM are already partnering on fuel cell vehicles and announced in June that they are developing batteries for electric vehicles, mainly for the North American market. In May, the Japanese tech firm investment firm SoftBank announced it was taking a 20 percent stake in Cruise for $2.25 billion. GM had said it planned to use the cash infusion to roll out a robotaxi service in at least one major city starting next year. SoftBank also owns big stakes in Uber as well as in India's Ola ride service and Didi Chuxing, China's top ride-hailing firm.

Glow with the flow during Artweek
The annual GLOW@Artweek [
http://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/articles/events/2018/10/glow-artweek/
] is famous in Devonport, combining local artists' work with renewable
energy technology.
And though the rest of Auckland seems to be in the dark about one of the
area's most popular Artweek displays, two Nissan Leaf electric vehicles are
set to raise the event's profile.
Supported by the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Transport, Vector
and Devonport Business Association, GLOW@Artweek will transform Windsor
Reserve into a supercharged art venue on Friday October 12 and Saturday
October 13, from 5pm until late.
The event features light pavilions made by Unitec architecture students, all
powered by a ‘Vehicle to Home’ (V2H) system courtesy of two Vector Nissan
Leaf G2 electric cars providing the energy.
Not yet commercially available, the technology showcases that EV owners will
soon have access to a portable, rechargeable power source for their own use.
Devonport Business Improvement District manager Toni van Tonder is keen for
city-siders to hop on a ferry and take in what has become one of Artweek’s
highlights.
"On 12 October we also have 'Friday after Five' that closes Clarence Street
for live music, art activations, food trucks and entertainment. It’s just
minutes from the downtown ferry terminal and we’d love anyone looking for
something different after work to join us.
"Devonport is not only about Victorian-era buildings and seaside sweetness,
it’s a vibrant arts destination and we see GLOW@Artweek as a great chance to
show all of Auckland what we’re good at. We’re just 10 minutes from the city
centre by ferry. What better way to spend a night out?"
North Shore ward councillor Chris Darby agrees Artweek is a great reason to
explore a new part of Auckland.
"In Devonport, Artweek is a major event on the calendar for local businesses
and the community. GLOW is a big local drawcard, but it is not all we can
offer, with other activities including sculpture tours, film screenings and
artist talks."
