I think the bigger manufacturers are now pushing vehicle platforms from 7 to 10 years; with mid-cycle refreshes hitting every 3-5 years. Full development includes a new platform / new engine. Mid-cycle refreshes are only updates to the

I think that's looking at it the wrong way - you have one person who's talented and/or hard-working; contributing to the majority of the project and the others are the supporters - they're function may be primarily to al

Completely guessing - but I think the strict structure of German makes it easier for machines to translate? English and Spanish on the other hand break more of their rules than they stick to, so it makes it more "human" / &qu

Pair wearable tech with future iterations of Tango/Kinect and you're onto something even bigger. Tennis for example - Think about a computer picking up flaws in technique that the human eye would miss; a coach would only be lookin
