The future of the automobile lies in bytes not horsepower
If you buy a conventional car these days, you may rest assured that nothing basic will change in your automobile for, let's say, the next seven years until you will, statistically, buy a new one. In the not too distant future, however, you may have to be prepared for your good old vehicle to get an overhaul "every three months," says Claus Gruber, an expert for automotive software at the Strategy& consultancy. "You'll likely get permanent software updates on your car's functional and safety features, similar to those you get on your smartphone or laptop computer already today," he told DW. Gruber is an engineer and co-author of a Strategy& study of the fundamental challenges faced by global automakers as the industry moves into a future dominated by IT-based technology solutions . Under its most likely scenario, the consultancy expects carmakers' software development costs to double over the next 10 years, with the outlay for autonomous driving solutions estimated to be … [Read more...] about The future of the automobile lies in bytes not horsepower

Pontins used ‘undesirable guests’ list to discriminate against Gypsies and travellers, EHRC says
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has struck a "binding legal agreement" with the owner of Pontins after claims it used an “undesirable guests” list to stop bookings by Gypsies and travellers. The EHRC said it received the information from a whistleblower, alleging calls were monitored in Pontins' contact centre and that bookings for its holiday parks made by people with an Irish accent or surname were refused or cancelled. It was also alleged that a list of Irish surnames, published on the company's intranet page, was entitled "undesirable guests". Staff were required to block any potential customers with those names from booking, it was claimed. Pontins was also said to use its commercial vehicles policy to exclude Gypsies and travellers from its sites.
