Autonomous vehicles, or self-driving cars, are designed to operate without human intervention. While many of these vehicles are electric, attributing to the synergy between electric powertrains and the advanced technology required for autonomy, not all autonomous vehicles are electric. Companies like Waymo, Tesla, and others in the autonomous vehicle space often utilize electric vehicles (EVs) due to their efficiency, lower environmental impact, and the integration capabilities of electric systems with computerized driving technology. However, there are also examples of autonomous technologies being developed and tested on conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. The choice between electric and internal combustion engines in autonomous vehicles depends on various factors, including cost, intended use, and technological compatibility.

It is not just electric self-driving cars. Even though many companies are developing electric self-driving cars. self-driving technology can be applied to any kind of vehicle regardless of its rollout method. such as gasoline-powered or hybrid vehicles. Instead of requiring self-driving technology. electric vehicles are often used in self-driving car programs to improve environmental sustainability.

Q should i drive with check engine light on

Driving with the check engine light (CEL) on can be risky. The CEL, an important part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostics system, illuminates when it detects a problem, ranging from a loose gas cap to serious engine issues. Ignoring it could lead to more severe problems or even unsafe driving conditions. While some issues might not immediately affect your car’s performance, they can lead to increased emissions, poor fuel economy, or costly damages over time. In short-term or emergency situations, driving a short distance may be necessary, but it's advisable to get your vehicle checked by a professional as soon as possible. Continuing to drive without addressing the issue can result in significant damage, potentially leading to larger repair bills or even the vehicle breaking down. For safety and peace of mind, have the cause diagnosed and resolved promptly.

Engine derate is a functional mode that is activated by the ECM of a Cummins engine to protect the engine from possible damage. Here are the steps to clear it: 1. Connect your laptop with Cummins Insite Engine software loaded to the ECM. 2. Run Cummins Insite software. 3. Start a connection to the engine. 4. Once connected, go to the "Faults" tab on the software. 5. On this screen, you will see a list of fault codes that are causing the engine to derate. 6. Click on the "Clear All" button or, if the option is not available select the individual fault and select "Clear". 7. Some fault codes may require you to run the engine for a few minutes or go for a short drive to clear, follow the software prompt. 8. Once the fault codes are cleared, your engine will no longer be in derate mode. NOTE: Remember, clearing the engine derate code does not fix the reason why the engine went into derate mode in the first place. It's important to identify and fix these problems to avoid potential engine damage.

Q what makes a hemi engine a hemi

A Hemi engine, also known as a HEMI, is distinguished by a unique design where the top of the combustion chamber is hemispherical. The term "Hemi" itself is short for hemispherical. This design allows for an efficient, more direct path for the air-fuel mix to enter and exit the combustion chamber, resulting in more power and torque than other types of engines. The valves in a Hemi engine are also placed to the side rather than in line with the cylinder, allowing for larger valves and better airflow. Another characteristic of the Hemi engine is the use of a single, centrally located spark plug for more efficient fuel combustion.
