Elon Musk’s Las Vegas tunnels put into commercial operation
In late May, Elon Musk’s The Boring Company began test operation of the LVCC Loop tunnels built under the Las Vegas Convention Center, and began commercial operation yesterday. The first to experience the LVCC Loop were the participants of the World of Concrete exhibition – this is the first major event that took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model Y are used to move in tunnels (there are only two of them, the length of each is only 1.2 km, but this is enough to connect different halls of the conference center). Cars move at a speed of 64 km / h and not dispense with driver assistance for safety reasons. But in the future, drivers from LVCC Loop vehicles will disappear, and the cars themselves will go faster – at a speed of 75 km / h. Currently, about 4,400 people per hour can be transported through the tunnels, but in the future the passenger traffic will increase to 5,050 people per hour.

Official: Huawei will unveil its second car on July 4th. Hybrid Aito M7 debuts on the same day as nova 10 smartphones

Previously, Huawei announced that the official premiere of the nova 10 series smartphones would take place on July 4, and now it has become known that the company will also introduce its second car, the Aito M7, on the same day. With one shot, Huawei will kill two birds with one stone, however, they say that this day there will be much more new products.
Aito M7 is a hybrid crossover. In terms of dimensions, it will be noticeably larger than Huawei’s first car, the Aito M5 hybrid crossover. The company has released several new teasers that suggest the Aito M7 will be positioned as a large family travel car.
Official details will be revealed on July 4, but it is already known that the car is designed for six, and its dimensions are 5020 x 1945 x 1775 mm with a wheelbase of 2820 mm.
The capacity of the traction battery will be approximately 40 kWh – on pure electricity, the crossover will be able to travel about 150 km, and the average fuel consumption will be about 7 liters per 100 km. There will be no lack of power: a 177 hp electric motor mounted on the front axle will be combined with a 272 hp engine. on the rear axle.

The power consumption of the Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards will not be as huge as that of the GeForce RTX 40

Rumors are actively attributing huge power consumption up to 600 W and even higher to GeForce RTX 40 video cards. Radeon RX 7000 cards will also consume more than the current generation.
AMD Senior Vice President Sam Naffziger revealed some details about the RDNA 3 architecture and products based on it. He also touched upon the topic of energy consumption.
The demand for gaming and computing performance is increasing, while at the same time the development of technical processes is slowing down quite sharply. Thus, the power level will only increase. We now have a multi-year roadmap with very significant energy efficiency improvements to offset this curve, but the trend is there.
Performance is critical, but even if our designs are more energy efficient, that doesn’t mean we won’t raise power levels if competitors are doing the same. They’ll just have to raise them much higher than us.
Thus, the Radeon RX 7000 line, despite the previously stated 50 percent advantage (over the RX 6000) in power efficiency, will stand out for its high power consumption simply because of the huge performance boost. At the same time, AMD is confident that Nvidia will have to increase power consumption even higher.
For now, the RX 6000 line is more power efficient than the GeForce RTX 30, although the difference isn’t huge. Previously, there were rumors that the top-end RX 7900 XT will consume 450 watts versus 600 watts in the case of the RTX 4090, but so far these are just rumors.

Airbus to open its own research center in China

Airbus will set up its own research center in the Chinese city of Suzhou (eastern Jiangsu province). The corresponding agreement was signed the day before with the Suzhou Industrial Park.
The opening of the research center is aimed at promoting Airbus’ long-term cooperation with China, as well as strengthening the company’s presence in the local market. Its task will include conducting research in the field of advanced technologies such as hydrogen energy and advanced manufacturing, as well as modernizing the aviation industry through digitalization and artificial intelligence. It is scheduled to start operating in 2023.
Airbus also said the company aims to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. This project is in line with China’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
As noted, the Airbus production scheme in China covers the entire chain – from the purchase of raw materials to the creation of small components and the assembly of large ones – for many of the company’s aircraft, including the Airbus A220, A320, A330 and A350 models.
