2011 Fiat Uno will not coming to Europe
Despite the fact that a report from Autocar confirmed the 2011 Fiat Uno for the European market, it appears that things will not be like this. According to our sources, the 2011 Uno will remain only in Brazil and it appears that the British magazine made a small confusion as Fiat will launch a new car but not the Uno!
It will be a successor for the Palio, which will be produced
Diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz S-Class
It appears that Daimler finally announced plans to bring to the United States market the diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship sedan. The new car will be powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel capable to deliver 241 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque.
Dubbed S530 CDI, the car delivers more power and torque than its European version, which comes with 235 hp and 398
VW Beetle Car History
A recent history of Volkswagen Beetle known as a very complicated and long to tell. It began on June 22, 1934 when the German domestic automotive industry associations encourage Porsche to build the Volkswagen (People's Car in the language
Germany).
The next day on June 23 became the most historic day for both the name. Because 75 years ago to coincide with this date, the German government at that time led by the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to build a simple car concept.
Order Hitler is people's car that can carry five people (two adults and three children), the velocity 100km/jam, 14km/liter consume fuel at a price no more expensive than riding a motorcycle side.
Then made the concept of the embryo when it was Beetle called Kraft durch Freude-Wagen (KdF-Wagen), the city where this car was made given the name KdF-Stadt. KdF-Wagen poured in 30 prototype in 1937 and marketed beginning in 1938 but stopped after a time to produce 630 units due to World War II in 1939.
To temporarily diverted its factory facilities to produce vehicles like the Kubelwagen war (jeep) and Schwimmwagen (amphibious vehicle). Year 1942 appears Kommandeurwagen from KdF-Wagen base having a four Wheel /4x4.
Germany's defeat on the allies (UK, France, Russia and the U.S.) makes the country divided. KdF-Stadt mastered British Army and for their intervention and then change the name of the city to Wolfsburg. Volkswagen Vehicles for civil society began to be produced again before the World War II ended, precisely in the summer of 1945.
Civilian vehicle was also changed its name to Volkswagen or VW Beetle Kafer (in Indonesia is popularly known as the VW Beetle). Then this vehicle has become popular thanks to its simplicity, toughness and a long list of other More and spread to different parts of the world.
Therefore, this unique vehicle has many nicknames such as:
* Kafer in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
* Pulga in Colombia
* Coccinelle or Kever in Belgium
* Vocho or Vochito in Mexico
* Fusca in Brazil
* Escarabajo in Argentina
* Map of Bolivia
* Folcika in Bosnia - Herzegovina
* Косτенурка (Kostenurka), Бръмбар (Brambar) in Bulgaria
* Buba in Croatia
* Brouk in the Republic Cheko
* Maggiolino in Italy
* Kabuto-Mushi in Japanese
* Turtle or Frog in Malaysia
Kever in the Netherlands *
* Pendong in Philippines
* Фольксваген-жук (Folksvagen-Zhuk) in Russia
In fact there are many other title names sometimes not just one. For instance in Indonesia other than the VW Beetle and the VW Beetle, he was also dubbed by our parents as a VW Sedan (although not as popular as the VW Beetle and VW Beetle).
To commemorate the history of travel at the same time affirm and strengthen the name of his Porsche, Porsche museum held an exhibition on June 23 until July 31. This exhibition is dedicated to celebrating the 75th anniversary of the VW Beetle concept such orders. In this exhibition displayed photographs of the original prototype with people who have been behind the birth of Ferdinand Porsche's Beetle included.
Car History
The first steam vehicles made in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot with vehicle successfully demonstrated in 1769. The first vehicle powered steam engine, may increase the best-known steam engine, was developed in Birmingham, England by the Lunar Society. And also in Birmingham car power station was first built in Britain in 1896 by Frederick William Lanchester who also patented the disc brake. In the 1890s, ethanol is used as fuel in the U.S.
Cugnot discovery of low usage seen in his native France, and the findings forwarded to Britain, where Richard Trevithick runs a steam-wagon in the year 1801. Vehicles are considered to be strange at first, but the discovery of a decade later, such as hand brakes, multi-speed transmission, and increased speed and steering wheel, making it a success.
Today, America has more cars than any other country. Japan led in the manufacture of automobiles, but the Japanese population could not afford to run a car because parking is scarce and expensive fuel prices
Innovation
The first automobile patent in the United States granted to Oliver Evans in 1789; in 1804 Evans demonstrated his first automobile, which not only the first car in the U.S. but also the first amphibious vehicle, the vehicle-steam power could use the road on land and in water wheels used wheels padel.
Generally, the first automobile internal combustion engine that uses gasoline made almost simultaneously in 1886 by German inventors working independently. Carl Benz on July 3, 1886 in Mannheim, and Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart.
On November 5, 1895, George B. Selden granted U.S. patents for two-stroke engine. This patent gives a negative impact on the development of automobile industry in the U.S.. Spectacular breakthrough made by Berta Benz in 1888. A steam-engine, electric, and gasoline to compete for several decades, with gasoline internal combustion engines achieving dominance in the 1910s.
Large-scale production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles was debuted by Oldsmobile in 1902, and then greatly expanded by Henry Ford in the 1910s. In the period from 1900 to the mid-1920s, automotive technology development is very fast, due to the large number (hundreds) of small car makers all vying to grab the attention of the world.
Major developments including electronic ignition and electronic self-starter (both by Charles Kettering, to the Company in the years 1910 to 1911 Cadillac), independent suspension, brakes and four tires.
In the 1930s, mostly in automotive technology has been created, though often re-created at a later date and given credit to others. For example, front-wheel steering recreated by Andre Citroën Traction Avant in the launch in 1934, although this technology has appeared several years earlier in cars made by Alvis and Cord, and in racing cars by Miller (and may have emerged in early 1897 ).
After 1930, the number of car manufacturers drastically reduced berpasan with industry to join together and baked. Since 1960, the number of producers is almost fixed, and reduced innovation. In many cases, new technology only improvement from the previous technology. Dengam exceptions in the discovery engine management, which entered the market in the 1960s, when electronic goods become cheap enough for mass production and strong enough to handle the harsh environment on the car. Developed by Bosch, these electronic tools can make car exhaust reduces dramatically while increasing efficiency and power.
Security
Car accident almost as old as the car itself. Joseph Cugnot car crashed into power-steam "Fardier" with the wall in 1770. Fatal car accident the first time recorded was Bridget Driscoll on August 17, 1896 in London, and Henry Bliss on 13 September 1899 in New York City.
Every year more than a million people were killed and around 50 million injured in traffic (according to WHO estimates). The main cause of the accident was the driver drunk or under the influence of drugs, no attention, too tired, and danger on the road (such as snow, holes, animal, and careless drivers). Security facility have been made specifically in the car for years.
Cars have two basic safety problems: They have a driver who often make mistakes and the loss of tire friction when braking close to half-of gravity. Automatic control has been proposed and made an example.
Early research focused on improving the brakes and reduce the danger of fire fuel system. Systematic research in crash safety started in 1958 at Ford Motor Company. Since then, much research focuses on energy absorption outside with panels that easily destroyed and reduce human movement on the passenger space.
There was a test car's security standards, such as EuroNCAP and USNCAP. There are also tests that are assisted by the insurance industry.
Despite improvements in technology, the death rate from car accidents remains high, in the U.S. about 40,000 people die each year, a figure that still grow in accordance with the increase in population and travel, with similar trends in Europe. The mortality rate is expected to be doubled worldwide in 2020. The numbers of deaths are more injuries and disabilities.

Historycal Racing Games Need For speed (NFS)
Need for Speed (NFS) is a series of racing video game published by Electronic Arts and developed by several studios, including Canada, based company EA Black Box. This is the most successful racing video game series of all time, and one of the most successful overall. In October 2009, more than 100 million copies of the game in the Need for Speed series has been sold.
The series was originally developed by Canadian based company Distinctive Software, which is known as EA Canada. Series debuted with The Need for Speed in North America, Japan, and Europe in 1994. Initially, the series was exclusive to the console of the fifth generation and displayed in all the seventh generation of video game consoles in 2008. The game mainly consists of a variety of car racing with different tracks, and to some extent, including the activities of police in the race. In Japan, the series Over "was released as a driver. After the release of Need for Speed: High Stakes, it adopted the western name. Since Need for Speed: Underground, the series has integrated car body customization into gameplay. Currently, there are three games under development in the series.
NFS there from the year 1994
Genuine Need for Speed was released for 3DO in 1994 with the release version for the PC (DOS) (1995), the PlayStation and Sega Saturn (1996) after a short time later. Most cars and tracks available at the beginning of the game, and the goal is to unlock the remaining locked content by winning tournaments. The first version is shown a car chase with police who remained a popular theme throughout the series - called Hot Pursuit editions (Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: High Stakes, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Need for Speed : Most Wanted, Need for Speed: Carbon and Need for Speed: Undercover) were sold in the market better than the version of the intervention. The initial version also featured an obnoxious opponent who taunted the player if the computer won the race or the player was arrested (if the player speeding ticket a few times).
The first installment of NFS is one of only two serious by a series of efforts to provide a realistic simulation of car handling and physics without arcade elements (the other being the Porsche Unleashed). Electronic Arts to work with automotive magazine Road & Track to match vehicle behavior, including imitation of the sound made by the vehicles' gear control lever. The game also contained precise vehicle data spoken comments, several "magazine style" images of each car's interior and exterior, and even short video clips highlighting the vehicles set to music.
Another version of the game, called The Need for Speed: Special Edition, is based on the 1995 release of the PC game, and only released for PC CD-ROM in 1996 was showing support for DirectX 2 and TCP / IP networking, two new tracks, time of day for most variations of the track (morning, noon and night), and various enhancements in the game machine.
The Need for Speed and Special Edition is the only game in the series to support DOS, as the next release for the PC only runs on Microsoft Windows 95 or above.
Need for Speed II features several of the rarest and most exotic vehicles ever available, including the Ford Indigo concept vehicle, and features country-themed tracks from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. A new racing modes are also introduced in NFS II dubbed Round, where the last racer to finish the round will be eliminated until the only leading racer remains, and won.
Forgoing the realism the first Need for Speed, NFS II provides more arcade-like style of play, while maintaining the level of intricate design. [Verification needed] In addition, track design is more open-ended, players can now "drive" off the asphalt, and even across the fields to take advantage of shortcuts.
The PlayStation port of NFS II is the first PlayStation game to utilize not only NeGcon controller, but both Dual Analogue and DualShock controllers as well.
Special edition of NFS II, Need for Speed II: Special Edition includes one extra track, extra cars, and support for Glide, which was then developing the 3D graphics standard used in 3dfx 's Voodoo and Voodoo 2 graphics card.
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit Hot Pursuit mode adds, where players try to run either the police or the police, catch speeders.
NFS III to take advantage of the multimedia capabilities of CD-ROM featuring audio comments, slide images and music videos. This game is also the first in a series to allow downloading additional car from the official site. Consequently, the Modding community has been sticking to create more vehicles that can be available for the game. PC version is also the first game in the series Need for Speed Direct 3D acceleration hardware to support 3D.
High Stakes (North America and Australia the title), also known as the Road Challenge (European and Brazilian title), released in summer 1999.
High Stakes introduces several new game types: High Stakes, Getaway, Time Trap, and Career. High Stakes is a racing mode (in career) in which reward the player loses the car. Getaway require players to outrun pursuing police vehicles for a certain period. Time Trap is where drivers must complete a number of laps within the time limit, with a police car trying to slow them down. Career mode combines monetary reward system that allows a player to purchase vehicles and performance upgrades while earning cash by racing in a chronological set of tournaments. Another innovation is the introduction of damage models. Vehicles that have been involved in a car accident that is displayed looks shattered bodies and suffered from performance penalties. After a race in Career mode, players are given the option to purchase the improvement. Mode also allows players, for the first time, to upgrade cars, although it only consists of the feature to switch between three levels of upgrades for each car.
The PlayStation version of the game, was released several months before the PC version, features improved gameplay. Just all the new tracks to be performed without additional rehashes from NFS III in the PC version. In addition, the AI in this game is more advanced; five AIS known as Nemesis, Bullit, Frost, Ranger, and people driving stupid show different characteristics (eg Nemesis player until slipup dog will occur, whereas Bullit exhibit a more aggressive style, sometimes Sometimes a vehicle ramming into the player). In addition, the Aston Martin DB7 at this in the game while the release version of the PC is required that you will need to download them online to insert it into the game. In the PlayStation version, the McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail is based on the year 1997 while the PC version is based on the original version 95/96.

Cars Flying Trough Clouds
"The breakthrough has changed the world of private cars. Travel became more freely without barriers, and coupled with a unique flying experience. The discovery of the car for USD 200ribu (approximately USD 2.4 billion) this community has been waiting since 1918 ", said Carl Dietrich, chief executive of Terrafugia, as reported by Vnunet yesterday.
Cars that can fly through the clouds at speeds 115 miles per hour, equipped with an automatic pilot that can be used for 30 seconds. Unfortunately, its capacity can only carry two people. When asked about fuel-efficient cars flying is starting. To fly per hour with an average speed of 115 miles, simply by using five gallons of fuel.
To drive a car, the U.S. Government plans to issue special regulations. Ie, must have an officially licensed pilot. That's why, for those interested in owning a car, flight department will open a new class of "light aviation."

The Historycal Of Harley Davidson
The most important breakthrough is the engine berkonfigurasi V, who later also known as the Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution, to win Cam. This engine later became the benchmark for other companies, especially from Japan, in making a big motor.
Start with 60 cc Engine
HARLEY and Davidson started this long journey in 1903, when they were still at the early age of 20s. Results prime tooling fiddle with two young children this is a single cylinder engine with a capacity of 60 cc. Walk and managed to devour the hill with ease. Later, because of this success, two brothers Arthur, Walter and William Davidson, joined.
Two years later, they agreed to institutionalize their business into the Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Co..
When standing, the company produces three new motor unit. All three motors were produced from the''factory''at the Davidson family's backyard. The so-called factory was a small shack behind the Davidson family home.
In 1906, the company moved to Juneau Avenue, occupying the room more spacious. Because more freely, the year that Harley-Davidson motorcycle can produce 150 units. Most of the motorcycles they bought the local police. The reason, Harley-Davidson can be driven at speeds high enough, and agile.
Six years after being founded, Harley-Davidson introduced the V configuration of two-cylinder engine with 45-degree angle. Capacity is 49.5 cubic inch engine (about 790 cc) and capable of producing approximately seven horsepower. With the machine, the speed of 60 miles per hour can be achieved. At that time, Harley-Davidson engines did not think that model would be one of the characteristics of their products.
That same year, Harley-Davidson's 1000 production figures broke through the unit, exactly 1149 units. Competition from other factories began to be felt, two years later. Apparently, the success of Harley-Davidson became the inspiration for another factory to start a business. In 1911, at least appeared about 150 motor brand. They would be a competitor of Harley-Davidson, though not really heavy.
The proof, Harley-Davidson is not difficult to increase production. In 1913, when the factory was expanded, Harley-Davidson's production almost reached 13 000 units. The number was increased again during the period 1916 to 1918, to around 20,000 units. This is mainly because the United States government ordered two-wheeled vehicles for the purposes of World War I.
The conquest of the Great Depression
ENTERING the 1920s, Harley-Davidson became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, with total production of 28 189 units. To market a product, the Harley-Davidson has agents in 67 countries. In this decade, Harley-Davidson introduced a number of innovations. V engine developed capacity to 74 cubic inches (about 1184 cc). Gas tank teardrop design introduced in 1925. In 1928, Harley-Davidson began equipped with front brakes.
All the achievements were quite a Harley-Davidson's capital in the face of the Great Depression, the economic recession in 1933. Although the number decreased to 3700 units of production, Harley-Davidson is able to survive. Other motor makers who also survived the Indians. This company later became the only competitor of Harley-Davidson until the 1950s.
When depression is finished, Harley-Davidson is a direct step on the gas. They introduced the EL model with a capacity of 976 cc engine. This engine model popularly known as Knucklehead. With Knucklehead, Harley-Davidson rose slowly. In 1936, total production reached 9812 Harley-Davidson motorcycle units.
World War II brought its own blessings, as well as a new milestone for Harley-Davidson. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the entire production capacity allocated to the Harley-Davidson motorcycles produced for the benefit of the Allied forces. Consumer needs civil abandoned altogether.
During 1941-1945, approximately 90,000 units of Harley-Davidson created the WML series. For this achievement, Harley-Davidson gets a medal''E''from the United States Navy.
After the war, Harley-Davidson's re-opened the tap of its civilian production. Uh, apparently a lot of veterans who attracted the bike's performance, and want to restore the romance of riding a Harley-Davidson. Thousands of Harley-Davidson motorcycle units, production, post-war as well as older models, move to house the veterans, the forerunner to the Harley-Davidson fans.
Compete with the Indians
IN 1948, the production of Harley-Davidson to be 31 163 units. That year, Harley-Davidson is back to introduce new innovations, namely machine equipped with an 74 cubic inch hydraulic valve lifters and aluminum cylinder head. This is called The Panhead engine because the cylinder head cover resembling upside-down frying pan.
Entering the 1950s, second generation of the founding family began to become the motor of the company. When celebrating its 50th anniversary, Harley-Davidson motorcycle was left alone in the U.S. market. Its traditional competitors, the Indian, already folded.
In 1957, Harley-Davidson introduced the Sportster, which has been hailed as The Father of Superbikes, biangnya big motor. A year later, Harley-Davidson introduced the Duo Glide, which uses hydraulic rear suspension to complement the front suspension fork that uses the model.
Later, in 1963, Harley-Davidson to adopt the use of fiberglass in the motor-bike. For this purpose, they buy 60% stake in Tomahawk Boat Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of fiberglass in Wisconsin.
Year 1950-1960 was also marked by the presence of biker community, which introduces the biker culture. They are easily recognizable because it uses a leather jacket, covered in tattoos, and long hair. Wild Ones is the image of Marlon Brando introduced through a film titled the same.
Harley-Davidson's official community itself was only established in 1983, with the name Harley Experience Owner Group (HOG). It became the community's largest Harley-Davidson owners who supported directly by the manufacturer. Currently, the number of members of HOG approaching one million people around the world.
Dark Period Due to Merger
IN 1965, Harley-Davidson went public. Four years later, the American Machine and Foundry (AMF) to do a merger with Harley-Davidson. However, the merger is considered the darkest period in the history of Harley-Davidson. Because, in 1970 and 1980, motorcycles made in Japan that the price is very cheap to enter the market.
When Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki entered the U.S. market, Harley-Davidson's market share dropped dramatically. Of the original 80% in 1969, a 20% ten years later. Decline in market share is to grip a Harley-Davidson executives. They also find ways to save the company.
To restore the Harley-Davidson to khitahnya, they submitted a proposal to Citicorp. Endowment fund with U.S. $ 80 million from Citicorp, they buy back shares held by the AMF (Citicorp to sell those shares, Heller Financial Corporation in 1986). The concept and philosophy of production and sales of Harley-Davidson was repaired.
Initially, Harley-Davidson is a product that is affordable and easy to use and modify. That changed with the Harley-Davidson makes the product expensive and hard to find spare parts. To replace the rear lights, for example, Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners can not just buy batoknya. But I have to buy a whole sepatbornya.
In addition to Marlon Brando, a number of celebrities made Harley-Davidson parts of their appearance. Whether on a large screen, screen glass, as well as in everyday life. In 1956, Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the cover of enthusiast magazines.
The mid-1990s, Arnold Schwarzeneger appear with Harley-Davidson in the movie Terminator. Action Lorenzo Lamas and Harley-Davidson Softail gasoline bertangki yellow with red flames in the Renegade series also became a favorite spectacle at the end of 1990.
Actor Keanu Reeves was once distributed 12 units of Harley-Davidson, which is worth about U.S. $ 200,000, to all the stunt movie Matrix Reloaded. According to Reeves, ..
This is the Future of Flying Motorcycle
This vehicle has a wing-shaped pair of scissors that can be folded. This wing will inflate easily when flying. According to its maker, SkyBike created to meet the increased demand for cars that could fly and the aircraft that could be used on the road.
This vehicle is the second version of the engine production flying Samson Motorworks automotive company that has offices in California, United States. The previous model could only be supported telescopic wing.
The design of this new model wing 90 pounds lighter than previous models. In addition, a more spacious cockpit space and maintenance costs become more frugal. This new model is also very sporty with a side by side seating. Landing speed was lower.
This futuristic car models inspired from Ferrari. While price is still kept secret. However, Samson was hoping the next year be able to introduce versions of this vehicle which can only be used on land.
Monotracer,The Future Motorcycle
This Monotracer artificial Peraves, manufacturer of origin Switzerland, and can go with more stable at speed of 200 km / j. These motors are sold very exclusive, with production capacity in the limit of 100 units per year. With four-cylinder engine from BMW's K, with a capacity of 1171cc.

World Cheapest Car
Cars supermurah named NanoTata Motors Corp. of India attract public attention in early January after unveiling the car supermurah for 100,000 rupees (U.S. $ 2,500), named Nano. The launch of this car is a Tata efforts and strategies to capture the attention of 45 million motorcyclists in India to switch to four-wheeled vehicles that cost about USD 23 million. Looking ahead, the Nano can reach tens of millions of people in the world.
In the largest auto show 2008 Auto Expo in Delhi, India, Nano hatchback shape is shown with four seats. Tata cars hard work during the four years it was made for all levels of citizens without neglecting safety standards, saving fuel and emissions rules. Tata Motors is promising, Nano's fuel consumption is only five liters for 100 kilometers distance. With only a quarter the price of the car the lower middle class in Indonesia, the Nano offers no air conditioning, electric windows and power steering. First stage, the Nano will be produced 250 thousand units for diesel and will be driven up to one million if the positive market response. Largest truck manufacturing companies in India was actually also going to offer a version of the Nano is more expensive because it has AC. Unfortunately, consumers had to wait until September 2008 for a 624 cc engine capacity cars that.
Although priced cheaper, but not all parties welcomed the launch of Nano. According to critics, Nano's presence would add millions of vehicles on Indian roads that have been 'can not breathe' because the problem of air pollution and noise. Another criticism is Tata going to sacrifice quality and safety standards in order to achieve the target price.
Whatever the criticisms that emerged, Tata is considering launching even cheaper vehicles to make ethanol as a fuel. The project is cheap and environmentally friendly vehicles this Tata company's global automotive stimulate others to participate more to explore. French car company, Renault SA and Japanese automotive company Nissan Co., its partner, for example, try to work together to produce a valuable simple vehicle under USD3.000 (Rp28juta).
Analysts said the Japanese companies Toyota Motor Corp., South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co., and China's Chery companies now compete to create environment-friendly low-cost vehicle to be marketed in India. This means that Tata Motors is a trendsetter vehicles cheaper and environmentally friendly world.
The inside of the car's interior NanoTak Obviously, the German consulting firm CSM Worldwide, developed Tata Nano rate this a matter of time to make Tata Motors as the largest car and truck companies in India. CSM Worldwide estimates that this success can direngkuh coming later than 2013.
So far, Tata Motors has expanded its business to South Africa (South Africa). This company is now aggressively even make an offer on the acquisition of elite British car company, Jaguar, which fared a bit like Ford.

The News from Lotus Exige V6
After a nine-month hiatus, our spy photographers have once again caught up with Lotus’ mysterious Exige prototype. This crafty camouflage is hiding the next Exige – but nothing was able to hide the evidence of the 3.5-liter V6 from our spies.
With the Exige now in its 10th year of production, Lotus is developing an all-new model to replace the aging coupe. But a new body isn’t all
Architecture reconstruction
The students used trac to support their project and you can access the public project pages here.
This year I coached the students responsible for defining the overall architecture at the beginning of the project.
The project is finished with an official demo of the robot's capabilities, but some students approached me with an interest of doing a "post mortem" of the software as an additional learning experience. I thought this would be quite interesting, enough so to share any experiences on this blog.
These were the primary goals the students defined for the exercise:
- Learning more about architecture
- Only analysis, not update current project (code)
- Reconstruct existing robot architecture
- Automatic reconstruction using a tool
- Create "logical view" from source code, showing dependencies on function level
- Variable scope, global variables
- Process view
- Evaluation, compare against first architecture
Second priority goals:
- What could have been done in other ways and what impact would those changes have made
- Improvement Ideas
The students doing the reconstruction use the excellent tool Pirate Pad to capture notes and common ideas. Pirate Pad is a simple pre-runner of Google Wave where you don't have to register to create a pad, everybody just access the same web address and start collaborating.

The Historical Of Mercedes Benz
DMG is an abbreviation of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, the automotive company which was founded by Gottlieb Daimler.
At one point, Emil Jellinek Wilhelm Maybach begged, chief designer of Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG), in order to make the car fast, lightweight, and safe.
Emil Jellinek Wilhelm Maybach was the person who designed the first truck in the world, and directly produced in early 1896. As of October 1, 1896, a car of this design results in exports for the first time into this Maybach London.Nama later immortalized in the form of a sophisticated car Luxury Mercedes Benz saloon.
On April 2, 1900, exactly 26 days after the death of Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach to keep her promise, and began to make a car at the request of Emil Jellinek, when it could be said milestone "Mercedes Benz" dimulai.sejarah-car-mercy-retro-mercedesNama " Mercedes "was taken from the name of Emil Jellinek's daughter, who was then aged 10 years. Use of the name "Mercedes" by Emil Jellinek personafikasi affection than a parent to his daughter, also showed business instinct very high Emil Jellinek.
He values the importance of building a commercial image, by choosing a trademark name. "Mercedes" in Spanish or "Merci" in French which have a positive meaning of "gratitude", or in Latin which means "great gift".
historical-cars-retro-mercy-first 1886Mobil DMG with the name Mercedes was launched on December 22, 1900, and patented the name directly as a trademark in 1902
No half-hearted, Emil Jellinek ordered 36 units of 550 000 marks worth of gold (if compared with the current equal to 36 Mercedes Benz S 500, or more than 100 Mercedes Benz C 200 Kompressor).
Like this major corporations world-class, mergers like something that is difficult to develop the company circumvented.
And this is the form of mergers that seem to be preferred since the beginning of DMG than to forge strategic alliances with other automotive industries or acquisitions entered into
In 1926, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie (founded by Karl Benz) mergers, and his name berunah become "Mercedes Benz". Karl Benz passenger car maker which is patented under the name "Benz Patent Motorwagen Omnibus." On March 18, 1895, this car regularly take passengers to the route Siegen - Deuz - Netphen as far as 15 kilometers.
Of the merger agreement stood Daimler Benz Aktiengesellschaft (Daimler-Benz AG). His first product was a six-cylinder diesel truck world's first so called Mercedes Benz L-5.
1998 Mercedes-Benz returned to the merger with Chrysler Corporation, the giant automotive industry in the United States berlambang five stars with angular frames. This merger formed a new company registered in Germany under the name of DaimlerChrysler, based in Stuttgart and Auburn Hills - Michigan (near Detroit, USA). Chrysler name also took the name of the inventor from the United States, the Walter P Chrysler.
In Asia, DaimlerChrysler merger with Mitsubishi Motors (Japan) and Hyundai Motor (South Korea). In Africa, DaimlerChrysler will concentrate from South Africa.
Until now, Mercedes Benz has been a century old. And is one of the five leading car manufacturer in the world.
World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945)-which did not result in devastating German automotive industry meredupnya berlambang three-pointed star.
Including the outbreak of the State into two, West Germany and East Germany, did not shake the automotive industry, based in Stuttgart (South Germany) is to exist.
Future cars equipped with an electronic brain and eye laser
Vehicle was named Junior by German scientists. His appearance was the same as the VW Passat vehicle is generally blue. But the vehicle has the ability to deal with the city environment by simulation, complete with traffic systems, rotations and one-way system with no one nobody paid are behind the wheel.
Junior will be included in the competition "DARPA Urban Challenge 2007" is a robotic vehicle contest prize of U.S. $ 2 million. Various vehicles driven by robots will participate in the competition to be held on November 3 in California in the United States Space Agency (NASA). All that is required in the competition must travel 60 miles in six hours. The event was sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
VW's robotic vehicle steering control using power satellites that will monitor your GPS position with the sensor. Scanning system that combines laser radar display 64 designated individuals, will monitor all directions with a range of 50 meters. The car also has six video cameras.
Junior car brain can decide for yourself which route to take, read maps and process information from as many car instrument until 200 times per second.
Professor Sebastian Thrun, one of Junior's chief designer, told the participants of Science Technology Association meeting advanced U.S. (States) (AAS) in San Francisco: "In the latest challenge was the issue of whether a stone or a set of bushes to be a barrier, because you do ie just keep walking. The challenge is to move after catching the latest environmental situation to know and understand what is in the environment. "
Berobot car was not only able to avoid the collision the car but also controls the system to handle many other problems in driving.
One of the scientists involved designing a smart car that Dr. Mike Montemerlo is what makes this robotic car capable of making decisions in driving.
Considering what should be done is quite difficult and very important in driving, such as: "Is it my turn to cross the intersection? Do I have enough time to cross the intersection before somebody came and hit me?."
Thrun said he estimates that within the next 20 years berobot cars will become so common that we see on the highway and creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere of course.
"Currently we (mobile robot) can drive with a speed of 100 miles without human assistance," he said.
"In 2010 I memperkiran berobot car speed can reach a thousand miles and in 2020 one million miles. In the year 2030 berobot cars will be able to apply these technologies on major roads and the capacity will be over the limit of human command."
He also said berobot car will be able to find his way in the midst of war, can follow a vehicle that carried people who are in front, or can be self-moving convoy altogether.
"At the time the car can walk on his own then there will be major changes in the lives of us all," says Thurn.

Honda Corporate history
His father named Gihei Honda a blacksmith-turned-entrepreneur bicycle repair shop, while her mother named Mika, Soichiro eldest of nine children, but only four managed to reach adulthood. The others died in childhood due to lack of medicine and also due to a rundown neighborhood.
Although Honda Gihei poor, but he likes to renewal. When the mouthpiece came the Western capital, he did not hesitate to change their traditional cigaret pipe is bent, no matter what his neighbors think it strange. Apparently, nature and machine handling skills also decreased at her eldest son.
Before entering school, Soichiro was happy, helped his father at the foundry. It was also very fascinated to see and hear dengum rice grinding machine which is located a few kilometers from the village.
Low achievement at school. Honda claims-ulangannya replicates poorly. He does not like to read, while writing feels very hard. Not infrequently he was truant. "Even now I am more efficient learning from TV than from reading. If I read, nothing is sticking in the brain, "he said.
When it was grade five and six, Soichiro talent stood out in the field of science. Although it was only a dozen years, but in science classes in Japan have raised items like batteries, scales, test tubes and machines. Soichiro easily capture information easily his teachers and teachers answer questions.
Some time before that, for the first time Soichiro saw the car. "When I forget everything. I chased the car and managed to cling briefly behind him. When the car stopped, lubricant drips onto the soil. I kiss the ground that dibasahinya. Maybe my behavior just like a dog. Then, I rubbed oil into her hands and arms.
Perhaps at that moment that arises in my heart the desire to eventually create his own car. Since that time there is sometimes a car comes into our village. Every time I hear the roar of the car, I ran into the street, do not care at that moment my sister was holding. "
Soichiro had only sat in school for ten years. After graduating elementary school, bad boy was sent to junior high school in Futumata not far from his residence. Graduated from high school, he returned to his father's house. Gihei Honda has switched from a blacksmith's bicycle repair business. Gihei Honda has the magazine The World of Wheels Soichiro read it with interest.
In the magazine from Tokyo, an auto repair shop advertisements seeking employees. Soichiro hastily proposed and she accepted. Although his father worried, but Soichiro ushered into the big city also.
Honda almost did not believe her ears when Honda felt called to learn to be waiting for the mechanic is indeed a most severe test of endurance, would ever face a lifetime. In those days after that he was not afraid anymore thanks to the fortitude to face whatever obstacles are acquired during a lackey.
Honda who during his career did not know much about money, just get a little advantage that first year. But Honda was lucky because a successful workshop. He decided to save money and estimate during his tenure will be able to collect up to 1000 yen.
During his life as an inventor of the famous Honda. He holds the patent for more than 100 personal discovery. The first, the discovery is the technique of making the radius of the metal car. When was the cars in Japan using the fingers flammable wood. Japanese companies exporting immediately fingers the metal to India. At the age of 25 years he obtained a 1000 yen profit a month.
Companies also appreciate the young people and are always recruiting young people to give "new blood" and fresh ideas. While Honda's resignation in 1973, chosen as a replacement is KYOSHI Kawashima, head of Honda's corporate research. During its history, the Honda company has experienced only once in the year 1954 strikes. When it was Honda and management on the one hand and workers facing
Honda's brother in the other Contracting Party. But as companies in Japan just like everything was resolved by consensus.
Since 1973, Honda moved into a four-wheeler market to be able to keep expanding the number of corporate income. Honda staff at the 10% increase every year. If they grow older, it means the company will increase the weight load. Though Honda face severe competition in the domestic market and abroad. To be able to keep creating new markets they should always look for unique and efficient techniques and sell products at competitive prices.
But when Honda and Fujisawa resigned in the fall of 1973, Honda said, "I could resign without feeling worried, because I believe the company will move forward with passion, overcoming various difficulties and flexible, without losing freshness."
"Quite frankly I feel young in terms of mental and physical," said Honda. "I think you guys can not win from me. But now I must admit I often felt jealous of young people. I was told that the general corporate leaders in America's age of 40 and led the company's 60-year-old often experience stagnation.
We now are entering a new era that requires new values. Although I and deputy general manager felt we were young, we thought we were past the age to lead. "
If I look back, I see that I create nothing other than a mistake, a series of failures and a series of penitence, "said Honda. "But I am also proud for my success. Although I often make mistakes and failures, but it never caused by the same thing. Never repeat my mistake and I always tried as hard as possible to improve themselves. In that I succeeded.
"He still holds the largest share in the company. When to resign in 1973 approached 1.7 billion dollars in income. Although retired what he said was still being heard. He said, the future is not determined by the Japanese industries to quickly, but by the quality of goods that we make and the impact on the interests of fellow human beings. If we make things that cause much pollution we probably will make money, but only briefly, after it went bankrupt.
We at Honda companies often joked: nice to have big companies that they work only think about big profits. As a result, small companies like Honda got a chance to make things better.
