This one is 2025 but priced for very high volume

New Volkswagen ID. 2all

Volkswagen has also revealed a new electric hatchback concept called the ID. 2all. It’s a similar size to a Volkswagen Golf, and the company claims it will cost less than £22,000 when it goes on sale in 2025.

New Volkswagen Touareg facelift

A facelifted version of the Volkswagen Touareg is coming this summer, and the luxury SUV gets tweaked styling and an updated interior.

ID3 would be decent volume also

The updated Volkswagen ID3 made its debut in March, and this electric hatchback gets tweaked styling and new interior technology.

There are some updated lights, both front and rear, as well as new bumpers. Inside, the infotainment system has been made easier to use with new software, and a larger 12.9-inch screen will be added next year

Furthermore, it should be expected that the new model will come with a more generous dose of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), in addition to the central airbag that was introduced for the 2023 model year which allowed it to achieve a five-star EuroNCAP rating

In addition, Active Lane Change Assist offers the option of changing lanes automatically between speeds of 60 km/h and 180 km/h, without the driver having to intervene with the steering wheel. If the traffic situation permits, the system performs the necessary steering maneuvers and speed adjustments on its own. Another feature is the ability to initiate a lane change by simply confirming the driver's gaze in the exterior mirror, without the need for a turn signal

This is why you move to the best DMS supplier

The electric 5 series comes loaded with BMW’s latest tech and software, including the automaker’s latest-gen OS 8.5 (which allows you to play video games while charging). You can see the full i5 details here.

The German automaker has introduced a lot of new technology in its latest generation of its long-running series, including in-car gaming, a range conservation mode, and eye activated lane changes.

Who knew Martin IVE subscribes to readers digest?

Looks good news to me, prices dropping as battery prices fall and they are 3x production

"Ford also said it has temporarily closed its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan to complete final plant upgrades as it aims to triple the facility's annual run rate to 150,000 Lightning trucks, beginning this fall.

Battery raw material prices have been one of the factors that pushed up EV prices. But prices of cobalt and lithium, crucial for EV batteries, have declined."

Very good article, I liked the section with the Thatcham chap.

Leggett stresses: “Effective driver monitoring has the potential to address a huge number of crashes and fatalities caused by fatigued and distracted driving, while also having an important role in preventing over-reliance on current assisted driving systems.”

Indeed, such is the importance of DMS to the Mach-E that it is intended to work even if the owner doesn’t take out Ford’s monthly subscription for BlueCruise.

"Collaboration with Magna' section is worth a re watch also

Direct quote from the London Townhall, whilst explaining "after manufacture"

"Interestingly the tenders are very large, and often we are the only company bidding"

If you choose aftermarket from the dropdown and listen for a few mins he explains after manufacture

https://stream.brrmedia.co.uk/broadcast/633fd89248e27c7b9f69b898?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=229371750&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8FtRCQnPjbnokHcCJypL6tEwyxCKAhEhRTgGBjfhPoJ2sgZfbW5uzGJL26wfvmvTLNfnN3lk5BSWKhUWrDxtvYgToJ0valpCqZx9PBw8HMj8_hjg8&utm_content=229371750&utm_source=hs_email

Also if you choose the Q&A the first question from the handsome Irish gentleman covers after manufacture.

Exactly right lost, that's the 'after manufacture' product, which is gen3.

At the London Townhall Paul confirmed

- hardware sold and fitted in the OEM factory before the vehicle leaves, so they can sell as compliant.

- monitoring is an upsell to the operator who buys the trucks or buses from the OEM

- high volume RFQ 50-100k units

I watched the whole NYC event this morning. Still can't believe we didn't see buying off the back of that event

Right at the end in the Q&A Paul is asking JT & Tim about regulation in US regarding drink driving

Tim talks about using DMS, as it's a system already in a car rather than a new system such as breath or touch related

JT explains "we are helping Congress write the law"

Feels like that's the next big breakthrough for DMS
