We worry a lot about Moore’s Law running out of gas right about now. Now comes former AMD CEO Hector Ruiz with this piece on Harvard Business Review’s blog: “There, however, is a possible “off-ramp” to Moore’s Law that offers [...]
LOS ANGELES–So often, we get ahead of ourselves a consuming public, especially when it comes to technology innovation. Take power generation and smart-grid management. We know that electronics that drive enormous efficiency gains on the grid. After all, our smart [...]
By Malcolm Fuller, contributing writer SANTA CLARA, Calif. – You wake up in your chilly San Francisco apartment (or any chilly place for that matter), and your first instinct is not to crank up the thermostat several notches (too expensive!). [...]
By Brian Fuller We’ve written all lot about the quickening pace of innovation in automotive electronics design. And you’ll recall the centerpiece of the first part of the Drive for Innovation was an all-electric Chevy Volt, which took us around [...]

Volt Teardown: The battery pack
By John Scott-Thomas, TechInsights The Chevrolet Volt is GM’s atonement for the cancellation of its first modern electric vehicle, the EV1, and a potent attempt to create a bold new technical future. The Volt’s control systems are among the most elaborate ever created. Close to 100 microprocessors are in the car, and over 10 million lines of software are used; a Boeing
Still rollin’
Here's a quick update on news about our favorite innovation metaphor and automotive magic carpet, the Chevy Volt. Ours is running just fine (just finished 2,100 miles through the South!). However, General Motors announced it will idle production for a few weeks to give demand a chance to catch up with supply. [View the story "Chevy Volt Production halted"
The Volt and the battery fires furor
ON THE ROAD TO RALEIGH, N.C.–We're still rolling blissfully south toward our next big innovation stop here in Raleigh, and we've been catching up on news surrounding the Volt, its lithium ion (LiOn) battery and charging stations…specifically whether the Volt is a fire hazard.

Short drive and deep dive
By Naomi Price, Managing editor for content, Drive for Innovation I recently had a chance to pilot the Drive for Innovation Volt—a fun experience and an eye opener into the world of EVs.

Would you buy the Volt?
(Odometer: 5,636 miles) PLYMOUTH MEETING, Penn.–Just before we took a couple-day break recently, we drove up into the hills around Philadelphia to catch up with my colleague and EBN Editor Bolaji Ojo. I had asked him to drive the Volt up to Boston for Embedded Systems Conference (and we’d rejoin the red beauty in a few days). He happily obliged,

The sound of silence
Electric vehicles make almost no sound. That’s a hugely important win after a century of loud internal combustion engines stealing what brief snatches of quiet we find on walks or bike rides. But that’s a problem. The internal combustion engine is not only a cost-effective motive force generator; it’s a safety feature. You can hear an approaching car. You can’t
Chasing the Volt
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CLEVELAND AND PHILADELPHIA–Viscerally, I have pretty simple thoughts about the way General Motors has been marketing the Volt. In a nutshell, I feel their heart isn’t in the game. The Nissan Leaf people are slapping them around on TV with those “gas-powered everything” ads. Really funny but the shot at the Volt at the end, is just completely
