If it's supposed to deliver cutting edge tech into consumer cars, one can expect them to push the envelope of what's possible (and feasible). Surely it's something a robotic system can do quickly and reliably, if you make engineers compete, like they did in F1 in 70's.
- rurban 5y agoSorry to disappoint you, but F1 electric engines which are used for F1 engine testing are miles ahead of any e-motor you'll see in any car for the next 20 years. Cutting edge PMM technology is not affordable, way too powerful, way too powerhungry, and way too fragile for any consumer car. We (former F1 engine test engineer) were pushing the electric engine envelope way too far, latest Tesla's do look like VW Beetles to us. You simply cannot have tires and chassis control to keep such cars on the street. Nor heat control, you'd need special cooling systems. But even with the simplest F1 tech: Consumer cars still don't have normal racing gear shifters nor CVS transmission nor 10Khz ECU's. They are fine with 500Hz. I cannot foresee any F1 PMM's nor other F1 tech in cars.
