Bosch

Bosch is already well-known for its electric bike motors and related technologies. Now, the German company has unveiled a concept ebike, created to show how smoothly those products could be incorporated into one vehicle.

One of the occasional joys of electric vehicle ownership is that a factory software update can suddenly make your motor go harder – and certain Bosch-powered ebike owners are about to get an extra helping of torque, free of charge.

According to Bosch, sun glare is the biggest weather-related cause of accidents. The company therefore wants to rethink the sun visor, with a see-through model that blocks sun only where it’s reaching the driver’s eyes.

Bosch will hit CES 2020 with a new type of Light Drive smart glass technology that can give you a personal heads-up display while being virtually indistinguishable from a regular pair of glasses, and adding very little weight.

Bosch is aiming to give parents some electric assistance with its smart e-stroller system.

We've seen a number of solutions aimed at automatically parking the car so that drivers don't have to. Bosch and Daimler say that their app-controlled system is the first fully autonomous, completely driverless parking service to be officially approved by authorities for everyday use.​

Nothing in your house is safe from becoming smart. At CES this week Bosch has unveiled a device that could be fitted to furniture to plug regular old shelves into the Internet of Things.

Bosch plays a big part in the supply and technology chain behind today's cars, and it's aiming to play an even bigger part in the self-driving cars of tomorrow. The company has just laid out some of its plans for the autonomous future.

Bosch and Daimler plan to use a city in central California as a test bed for in-town automated driving systems. The companies have been working together on self-driving vehicles for some time and have signed an agreement with Nvidia, of Silicon Valley, which will provide computing power.

Manufacturers go to great lengths to make their motorcycles as safe as possible and usually the task is handled by electronics, such as traction control, cornering ABS and electronic suspensions. Apparently, no one had thought to employ rockets to help a bike stay upright. Until Bosch, that is.

In-car voice-control has come a long way in recent times, but many of us would agree that there's room for improvement. Bosch is aiming to do just that with a multilingual voice assist system that it claims can respond to natural language ... and you can call it whatever name you like.

Exhaust emissions technology has reduced toxic diesel and gasoline emissions substantially during the last few decades so that most particulate pollution caused by road traffic now comes from road, tire and brake wear. A new brake disc called the iDisc can help to reduce particulates from brakes.
