Have you ever thought about the residual value of your EV battery? It’s the heart of an electric vehicle. Nevertheless, without checking its remaining capacity, it stays a myth. Christoph Nolte gave more insights about how to assess the battery State of Health during the AutoTest Technical Conference by @FKFS. Especially new developments in this sector are paving the future: Combining data analytics with charging patterns. Using real-time data from charging cycles can solve the uncertainty barrier of the residual value of an electric car battery.

A proactive step toward responsible AI by joining the EU’s ‘AI Pact’: alongside over 100 other organizations, DEKRA is committed to developing a comprehensive AI governance strategy. This move aligns with the newly enforced AI Act, which regu-lates the use of AI systems in the European Union. The Act primarily targets high-risk systems, ensuring they don't harm individuals or infringe on fundamental rights, while low-risk systems like chatbots or spam filters remain less regulated. What challenges will companies face with the AI law? This is just one of the questions we asked DEKRA expert Elija Leib. Learn more about DEKRA’s role in shaping the future of AI compliance, what possible risks, chances and prospects of AI are and what aspects need which regulation in the full article. #DEKRA #DEKRAsolutions #AI #AIPact #cybersecurity 🔗: https://brnw.ch/21wNXS2

🏁 Gearing up for the United States Grand Prix in Austin! 🏎️ After a month-long F1 break, we had the chance to catch up with Bernd Mayländer again, who shared his expert insights ahead of the highly anticipated Austin Grand Prix. One of the track's standout features is its remarkable 30-meter elevation change, adding a unique challenge for drivers. Additionally, with over 70 gear changes per lap, it promises to be a physically demanding race. Anticipation is high, with more than 430,000 spectators expected, making it the third-largest event on the F1 calendar, after Silverstone and Melbourne. An exciting race awaits us in Austin! Check out our video with Bernd for more exclusive insights on the track and his thoughts on the probability of a safety car deployment. #DEKRA #BerndMayländer #DrivenBySafety #onthesafeside #Motorsports #Formula1
