So also for CHAIR. Our final physical assembly was the CHAIR 2Consortium kick­off meeting, March 10th, 2020. During spring many activities were postponed, hoping covid­19 would soon be under control. We gradually realised that we should go digital whenever possible. In many cases this worked out well, even above expectations, but it was hard to avoid that some activities eventually were delayed, as for example recruitments of PhD students and postdocs. AI EVENTS Seminars and workshops were among the activities that func­ tioned well digitally. During 2020, CHAIR established three CHAIR director Ivica Crnkovic types of seminars: AI Talks, seminars with distinguished guests – top AI researchers from all over the world; AI Ethics, tics, paradigms, approaches, and main objectives. seminars with international, national and Chalmers research­ GROWING AI RESEARCH ers giving talks on the topic AI and ethics; and finally CHAIR From 2018, AI activities at Chalmers, and at CHAIR have ac­ Spotlight on AI research, seminars from Chalmers research­ celerated!

  • 2018 GENEVA-MOTORSHOW.Pdf
    /GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 2018 Geneva is the best show to get an overview of the future of the European and broader auto industry as there are always significant launches of new vehicles and concepts of the future. One thing that is clear is that the industry is facing dramatic change. The car world has been shaped by petrol heads, and the idea that the future of the automobile will be dominated by electric, autonomous and shared vehicles is an unavoidable reality that is not that easy to take. Some car makers are embracing the change, some are fighting against it, and some seem to be in a a state of paralysis. The show had a multitude of Visions, Vizzions, Mission e’s and i’s. A vast array of supercars, AMG’s, M’s and SV’s And a variety of classics from the past, showing a certain nostalgia of this fast changing world. The industry for the last 100 years has been perfecting “the ultimate driving machine”, faster, bigger, sexier and more expensive. The industry has optimised the design process with masterful surfacing, fit and finish, the finest engineering, and the glossiest of marketing. It now has to reinvent itself, as the architecture, driving emotion and customer needs change. I have picked out some of the themes and highlights from this years show. /AROUND THE SHOW /THEMES /EV and HYBRID PERFORMANCE Some of the stand out cars of the show, introducing a new crisp/clean design language, where white signified electric.

In Volvo Cars innoviamo continuamente per rendere migliore la tua vita. Ogni automobile, ogni tecnologia ed ogni progetto è il risultato di una visione chiara – mettere le persone al centro di tutto ciò che facciamo. Questa visione, che ci ha guidato fin dall’inizio, prende ispirazione dalla Svezia, un Paese che valorizza le persone come individui e nel quale le convenzioni vengono messe alla prova. È una cultura con un ricco patrimonio di design e un modo unico di guardare il mondo. Questa visione ci ha ispirato nell’inventare soluzioni che hanno salvato molte vite e che hanno cambiato la storia automobilistica, come la cintura di sicurezza a tre punti di ancoraggio e gli airbag laterali. E con la nostra nuova generazione di modelli continuiamo lungo questa tradizione. Design scandinavo e moderno lusso svedese si combinano per arricchire la tua esperienza di guida. La tecnologia intuitiva di Sensus ti semplifica la vita e ti permette di restare in contatto con il mondo, mentre i nuovi propulsori Drive-E bilanciano potenza reattiva ed efficienza ai vertici della categoria. Le nostre innovazioni IntelliSafe ti supportano mentre guidi, rendono ogni viag- gio più confortevole, piacevole e ti aiutano a prevenire gli incidenti. Comprendiamo cosa è importante per la gente. Questa cono- scenza costituisce la base di tutte le innovazioni che creiamo. Innovazioni che migliorano la vita. In Volvo Cars progettiamo le auto intorno alle persone.
