Tesla Pictures Importance Of Low Cost Batteries In Future

 

Tesla’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has discussed the company’s future in a conference.

The co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of Tesla Motors, J.B Straubel, believes that the affordable battery-manufacturing initiative could revolutionize the high tech world. TSLA Tesla news disclosed that Mr. Straubel addressed a solar conference in San Francisco by discussing a future in which batteries charge all automobiles. He further stated that new solar powered systems are designed with solar panels combined with power storage devices.

Mr. Straubel’s views should be given importance because he is known as a key inventor of the company’s battery pack technology. Tesla news today exclaimed that J.B is one of those senior officials who are working on the automaker’s huge battery-manufacturing plant in Nevada, which is supposed to develop enough power storage devices for 500,000 electric vehicles yearly by 2020. J.B believes that the lithium-ion battery’s cost would continue to decline rapidly.

The CTO predicted that when it becomes affordable to drive on battery power than it is to drive on gasoline, electric powered vehicles would lead the field of modern transportation. Likewise, he also indicated that when the joint usage of solar panels and batteries becomes cheap enough to supply electricity for less than the cost of fossil fuel power, solar electricity would prove to be an inexpensive choice.

Commercial sources highlighted that J.B is not new to the battery-manufacturing industry, as when he first met Elon Musk, he was attempting to develop a lithium-ion battery pack for a vehicle that could cover a distance of 1000 miles. This served as the fuel for the electric-battery enthusiasm of the company.

Tesla Motors news affirmed that the company is about to achieve that objective after ten years since the meeting of Mr. Musk and Mr. Straubel. In April, after approximately 1825 days of testing and researching, the South African born entrepreneur’s organization introduced a division focusing on developing batteries for the buildings and power grid, which it identifies as Tesla Energy.

The CEO has claimed that since the introduction of the new products, the demand for the batteries by enterprises and utilities has reached higher levels. Official sources stated that when the organization’s 1,000,000 cars would be witnessed on roads, it would use 70 gigawatt hours of power storage that could be connected to the power grid. The power charging and discharging of those vehicles would be about 10 gigawatts of charging, which could be regulated through software.

Experts are of the view that the discussed plans would not only send a threatening message to the company’s rivals but also improve its reputation in the highly competitive world. The executives of the Californian enterprise should now formulate plans and take initiatives to speed up the process of constructing the battery-manufacturing facility in order to achieve their objectives.

 

Tesla’s CEO Sponsors To Control Artificial Intelligence

 

Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has offered $10 million dollars for controlling artificial intelligence.

The CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, has decided to contribute to the field of intelligence. Tesla news reported that he would disburse $10,000,000 in grants to finance 37 research projects organized to ensure that artificial intelligence not only remains under control but also proves to be useful.

Future of Life Institute would utilize the allocated funds. Commercial sources disclosed that out of the allocated funds, $136,000 would be spent on a project aimed to study and monitor the use of Artificial Intelligence (Al) weapons.

Tesla news today informed that the CEO is not the only person who is concerned about the operations of the particular field. A number of other people, including Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking, also share his view regarding the technology. He agreed with them while pledging $10 million to facilitate research intended to make Al useful for humanity. The sponsored teams were chosen from 300 applicants to complete projects in fields ranging from controlling robotic weapons to equip machines with the ability to make moral decisions.

Scientific experts at a number of American and British universities intend to help machines learn human preferences. Tesla Motors news affirmed that a separate team from Duke University wishes to develop a robot that can make moral judgments in the real world. Similarly, Denver University’s experts are working to explore means by which humans do not lose control of robotic weapons. Press sources indicated that Stanford University has decided to answer the question regarding experiences if robots perform human jobs.

The South African born entrepreneur is not new to the field of artificial intelligence, as he has signed an open letter pledging to ensure that the said technologically advanced field tends to favor humanity. The document highlights the need for safeguarding intelligence machines without which humanity’s future would be endangered.

Official sources highlighted that Mr. Musk has defined artificial intelligence as humanity’s biggest existential threat. Experts are of the view that his commitment would not only help researchers to manage the new technology effectively, but also improve the reputation of the electric vehicle pioneer. It is probable that the CEO’s contribution would also lure other entrepreneurs, who might also understand the need to regulate the products of the latest technology.

Industry experts believe that Tesla’s customers would welcome its founder’s initiative. Mr. Musk should now fulfill his commitment in the best possible manner and ensure that the allocated sums are utilized appropriately; otherwise, his contribution might not prove to be useful for researchers.

The mishap in a German factory is considered as a living proof, where a mechanical device in manufacturing assembly line crushed a worker due to malfunction. This poses a great threat to humanity in the coming times.

 

 

Tesla Motors Collaborates With Pavegen

 

Tesla Motors has found out a new method to power up its cars.

Tesla Motors has found out a new method of charging its cars. Tesla news reported that the company is collaborating with a high-tech organization, Pavegen. Both companies have teamed up to establish a charging setup that powers electric cars with kinetic energy released from footsteps. Market sources stated that powered vehicle’s drivers were previously limited to operate in the range accessible on a single recharge provided by supercharger networks or home electrifying stations.

Tesla news today informed that Pavegen is known for working on a modern system that uses footsteps to generate electricity provided in high football locations. Pavegen is also making efforts to provide real time data for analytics. The energy firm is not new to the highly competitive world. It was founded in 2009 and completed 100 projects in 30 countries since then. The Loughborough University’s graduate’s firm has succeeded in earning a cumulative revenue of more than £2,000,000.

Tesla previously faced many challenges and issues regarding faults in its cars. Similarly, the charging issue also adds up to its challenges. In order to resolve it, the company provided charging facilities in several locations for its drivers’ convenience. It collaborated with Pavegen to further eliminate its difficulty.

Tesla Motors news affirmed that both organizations have jointly conducted an experiment in which an electric vehicle was electrified from the movement of feet. In the trial, some tiles of the power sector organization were connected on Oxford Street and a charging device was attached to a car. The first footstep initiated the car’s movement and then the level of battery’s power supply continued to increase with subsequent footsteps until the vehicle drove off.

Experts presented their view that the joint efforts of the two companies would prove to be beneficial for Tesla’s drivers, as they would not be forced to only drive on roads while solely relying on superchargers. It is probable that if the new electrifying process is launched in an effective manner, then the ‘range anxiety problem’ would also be resolved.

Pavegen’s CEO, Laurence Kemball Cook, has stated that the system is functional but it requires uncountable foot movements to permit the car to drive 20 minutes within the busiest streets of London.

It is expected that thousands of footsteps in most downtown locations would easily electrify Tesla’s vehicles. Industry experts believe that the joint venture would not only ease the difficulties of the automaker’s customers, but also improve the reputation of both partners.

The management of both companies should now take steps to speed up the process of pioneering the latest innovative charging system or they might fail to address the concerns of the Tesla’s drivers. One could say that the initiation of the process would send a threatening message to the vehicle maker’s rivals.
