Robert Bosch, which has been driving the internet-of-things trend, is establishing a separate unit to make devices and objects talk to each other.

With its new start-stop coasting function, Bosch enables drivers of vehicles with combustion engines to travel in zero-emission, noise-free, and low-resistance mode over large parts of their journey.
It started as a simple gesture by OTC and Champion Engineering: donate a smoke machine to an Army soldier stationed in Afghanistan to help keep the engines on military vehicles running smoothly and save money on engine overhauls.
U.S. Staff Sgt. Daniel Wieman received the machine and as shop foreman for his unit at Kandahar Air Base, put it quickly to work checking for leaks between the filter and engine.

Bosch reports that recent comprehensive testing has revealed potential hazards when installing some remanufactured fuel injectors that were not authorized by Bosch.

With its six eyes (cameras) and six ears (radar sensors), the new Mercedes S class can see and hear enough to drive itself at speeds up to 60kph (37mph). Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche says the S class “marks the start of the era of partially autonomous driving.”
