3D printing is now used to create many parts of a car. To date, 3D printing has been used to create up to 75% of a whole car and there are plans to increase this to 90%, and beyond. However, it is only used to create prototypes at the moment, and not road worthy vehicles (on the whole, although some parts are an exception).

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass, where multiple layers of glass are bound together using a transparent interlayer material. Laminated glass is an excellent material for windows in the automotive industry as they hold together under impact, rather than shattering. In this article, we look at how laminated glass behaves under an impact.

Automobiles are now more connected than ever. Not only can they communicate with other vehicles and inanimate objects, but fully autonomous vehicles are potentially around the corner (if there are no more accidents). Because of this, vehicles are now more connected through a variety of wireless networks.
