Tesla’s latest screwup involves making the font size of its braking system too small Image: Umar Shakir / The Verge Tesla’s latest massive recall is a weird one. It’s not about reported problems with sudden braking or driver monitoring alerts or seat belts. Nope, this one is all about font size. It turns out that the font size for Tesla’s brake warning system is a bit too small. How small? Smaller than 3.2 millimeters, or one-eighth of an inch, as prescribed by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). So the company has to recall all 2.19 million vehicles it has on the road today — again. It may seem minor, but font size can correlate to safety when all your vehicle’s controls are ported through a touchscreen. According to the recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), visual warning indicators... Continue reading…

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking ACTIVE VIBRATIONS ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES American automobile manufacturer Dodge is developing new electric vehicles that will also cater to the ICE fans. These Dodge EVs will capture the excitement and nostalgia of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars by featuring advanced systems like Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) and Active Vibration System Enhancement (AVE) to replicate the sounds and sensations of driving a high-performance ICE vehicle. This advancement has been revealed as the automobile giant has recently filed patel both these new systems. The Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) system will comprise of interior and exterior speakers to produce artificial engine sounds that match the car's speed, acceleration and torque. This system will try to replicate the sound of a powerful V8 engine, giving the sensation of sitting in an ICE powered car. Contrastingly, the Active Vibration Enhancement (AVE) system will contribute by generating vibrations that will recreate the sensation of a conventional engine car, adding onto the overall driving experience. Aligning with these plans, Dodge's upcoming electric model, the Charger Daytona SRT is likely to be equipped with a 'Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust ' that is capable of producing up to 126 decibels of sound, significantly louder than a supercharged Hemi V8 engine.

The vehicles in question display warning lights for the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) in a font size that does not meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 105 and 135, which cover “Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems” and “Light Vehicle Brake Systems,” respectively. The smaller font size could potentially reduce the visibility of critical safety warnings, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The "Smooth Oval" test in the automotive industry is a vehicle dynamics test conducted on a smooth, oval-shaped track. The primary goal of this test is to assess the vehicle's performance under various driving conditions, with an emphasis on stability, control, handling, and acceleration. During the "Smooth Oval" test, the vehicle is driven at different speeds around the oval track to evaluate its behavior in curves, straight paths, and overall dynamics. This test helps manufacturers identify the strengths and weaknesses of the vehicle during continuous and long-term driving conditions. Generally, this type of test is particularly important for evaluating tires, suspension systems, and vehicle stability. It provides valuable insights into the vehicle's grip, control, and steering responsiveness. #Vehicle_Dynamics #Adams_Car #Automotive_Engineering #Suspension_System #Handling #Adams_Car_Simulation

Range Rover Sport (2015) Customer complaint - Hybrid system foult ( indicate to display Hybrid System and A/C Temporarily Unavailable) First we checked 12V battery after that put on the battery charger After using the SDD vehicle scanning tool, the data of the vehicle was checked and according to the data, it was found that there is a fault in the temperature sensor of the HV battery of the vehicle. After that, the vehicle was put on a hoist and the HV battery of the vehicle was removed and all the temperature sensors in it were checked with a multimeter. After measuring their resistance, the resistance value of one of the sensors was high, so I put a new sensor on that sensor, installed the HV battery to the vehicle and checked the fault, and confirmed that the fault was fixed, then added coolant to the HV battery's cooling system and bled the coolant should be done #rangerover #automotive #hybrid #landrover
