In a pioneering move, Michigan is now home to state-of-the-art vehicle inspection technology originally designed for homeland security purposes. UVeye, a groundbreaking system likened to an MRI for automobiles, has made its debut in the state, promising comprehensive scrutiny of every inch of your vehicle.

Partnering with General Motors, UVeye has found its way into dealerships such as Feldman Chevrolet in Livonia, revolutionizing the inspection process. Developed by an Israeli tech startup, the system initially focused on subterranean threat detection, particularly in detecting potential bomb threats concealed beneath vehicles.

Step into the bustling pits of a professional motorsports event, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a sea of computer displays brimming with telemetry data. Yet, amid this digital symphony, one software suite stands out: Microsoft Visual Studio. This unlikely presence was witnessed for the first time at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) event held last weekend, marking a pivotal moment in the realm of autonomous racing.

Unlike its predecessors such as the Roborace series and the Indy Autonomous Challenge, A2RL set out to chart new territories in autonomous racing. The event featured four cars on the track simultaneously, a first in the field. Even more groundbreaking was the competition’s showdown between the top-performing autonomous car and former Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat.
