Honda and IBM team up on software-defined vehicles, KIA launches EV3

In this week’s roundup, we look at two new EVs as well as future auto tech from Honda , IBM , Callum and Nvidia .Earlier this month, Honda announced plans to invest $64 billion in electrification, aiming for EVs to account for 40% of its annual sales by 2030.

The partnership anticipates that AI technologies in cars will significantly accelerate by 2030. As a result, IBM and Honda are prioritising research in specialised semiconductor and chiplet technologies to address the increased computing power consumption in next-generation cars. The two companies also plan to explore ‘open and flexible software solutions’.Until battery technology catches up, electric cars remain disadvantaged with the huge engineering downside of mass.

Callum also plans to introduce different variants of the Skye, including on- and off-road models. While exact specifications are still to come, they did give away the acceleration figures: zero to 100km/h is claimed in under four seconds.Speaking of the challenges facing mass electronic vehicle adoption, more than half of consumers in Europe responding to a Statista survey last year cited high prices as the main deterrent when it comes to purchasing a new EV.
