Warning for Europe’s auto industry as China’s EV sector surges

A warning has been raised that European policies meant to protect the auto industry could weaken competitiveness in electric vehicles. As China’s battery and EV sector grows rapidly, critics say loosening rules on internal combustion engines could delay Europe’s technology transition. T&E secretary-general William Todts criticised a Franco-German proposal that maintains a 2035 emissions cut target but would drop a separate offset requirement, allow exceptions for synthetic and biofuels and promote EU-made parts.

Tmap Mobility, LG Electronics begin development of hyper-personalised services technology for autonomous vehicles

Tmap Mobility and LG Electronics will develop vehicle technology in which artificial intelligence identifies a driver’s intent and surrounding conditions. The companies said they signed an MOU at LG Sciencepark in Seoul to build an ecosystem for autonomous driving and in-vehicle agentic AI in an AIDV environment. They will link LG’s HPC-based vehicle platform and AI technologies with Tmap’s high-precision maps, 3D lane-recognition navigation and POI data, and validate functions in a CARLA-based digital twin simulation.
