Hyundai Talks About Its Future Software-Defined Vehicles

Vehicles have been module and software heavy for a number of years. Now manufacturers are using the term SDV to describe the Software Defined Vehicles that are in our automotive future.

These vehicles are "driven" more by computer modules and software than they are by mechanical components. And, like them or not, they are coming.

"A software-defined vehicle is akin to a smartphone. Every year Apple and Google release updates to the operating systems (OS) of smartphones. These updates give the smartphones new software-driven features that allow them to do things they couldn't previously do or enhance performance in certain areas like processing speed or battery life. These updates are often sent wirelessly or "over-the-air" (OTA). Imagine that same principal applied to a car and you have an SDV. A more practical scenario is an automaker sending an OTA update that adds a new driving mode to an EV which allows for less power usage, thus increasing driving range on a single charge." https://www.motortrend.com/news/hyundai-software-defined-vehicles

Hyundai recently detailed its new global strategy to transition to producing only Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

With Blackouts, California's Electric Car Owners Are Finding New Ways To Charge Up

Ever think about your electric car becoming a back up power source for your home? As batteries improve and electric vehicles become more prevalent they may become part of a complex power storage grid in your neighborhood. Already, a California owner used his to power up his home during a power black out. He was able to drive a bit down the road to recharge and then return to his garage where a handy inverter changed his DC to AC and allowed him to run necessary household items (like the television)!

Nearly half of all the electric cars in the country are owned in California. But the recent wildfires and power outages are inspiring some drivers to use their cars to power their homes.

Happy birthday KLOL! August 7th, 1970 is the day that 101 KLOL signed on the air! Before that, the progressive rock station was KTRH-FM.

Here is what the first person to play the first song on KLOL, Pat Fant of RFC Media, said about signing the station on the air.

"August 7, 1970 we decided to play the first record at 6 p.m.

And I don’t know why but you know why not 6 pm. So we played I’m free by The Who at six o’clock. I think I came on I cracked the mic first and said something. Not too inspired but something like “Man, we’ve waited a long time for this and. We’re finally free at last.”

So it was adorable.

"So off we go we were on the fifth floor of the Rice Hotel and many people said why did you you know originate. KLOL from the from the Rice Hotel it was because that’s where KTRH was housed. They were on the 6th and KLOL, people don’t know this, was actually before it was KLOL it was KTRH-FM. So KTRH they say means come to the Rice Hotel was the callers what they stood for.

So that was the Rice Hotel setting. It was downtown Houston on Prairie at Travis I think. And the Houston Chronicle Building was directly across the street from the KLOL studios in the Rice Hotel. And the rooftop of the Rice Hotel annex was just at the right height. That if we went out stairs got in the stairwell went up to the roof and did whatever it was we did on the roof, the people looked out the window from the Chronicle and they could see everything we were doing. So, then that would appear in the paper from time to time that, You know, those hippies with KLOL were caught again. On the roof with their pipes and all that. So that was another running joke.

But, the Rice Hotel being the kind of setting that it was for this creative endeavor, people just would believe what that was like. I wish I could better communicate it because, for example, the morning show would order room service and the hotel guys would bring up the silver service and the you know the coffee and breakfast for three or however many.

And. And it just made for Such a comfortable environment. It wasn’t. It wasn’t anything like an office or even close. And. The control room for KLOL, the closet is about all it was it wasn’t much bigger, where we went on the air was a closet where they stored the Cokes on in case they stored cases of Cokes and stuff all stacked up water Cokes and think that’s what we found in there when we went into a kind of model and build it all out. And of course we eventually the legendary lock on the control room door that we had installed. The lock was on the inside not on the outside. So. When we’re in there we locked the door and you couldn’t get in. So. This led to more legendary stories of what goes on in there."
