The countdown for automotive players to meet greener energy deadlines is powering towards the end of the decade, when they come into play. In this thought leadership opinion piece, Thomas Goetzl from Keysight Technologies looks at the road ahead in terms of what smart energy must encompass to support the EV future.
Energising the road to the EV Era.
Accelerating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and meeting the mandates require significant and sustainable changes.
One area that needs more attention is how to energise the transition to an electric-powered future.
With the demand for electricity expected to grow nearly 20% by 2050 due to EVs and other clean tech initiatives, grids are under immense pressure.

According to a survey commissioned by Keysight Technologies, 76% of space professionals see software test automation as one of the industry’s top challenges. tech4tea.com talks with Keysight’s Greg Patschke about the findings of the survey, the challenges facing engineers, and the industry’s future opportunities.
“Defying Gravity” is an in-depth survey of current and future trends in the space tech industry. The survey analyzes drivers of the growth within the industry, technology trends, and the challenges at hand.
Why did Keysight commission the “Defying Gravity” survey?
Greg Patschke shared that the company wanted to understand the opinions of senior leaders about where electronic system design, test, and measurement could provide value in the satellite and space industry based on current market dynamics.
He said that Keysight has seen a steady ramp in innovation and non-government, private commercial investment in the satellite industry during the last five years and wanted to confirm the industry’s transition from large, geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) to smaller low earth orbit (LEO) satellites enabled by the drastic reduction in launch costs.
Read on about what we learned from Patschke.

Battery life is a critical factor for IoT devices. In this commentary, Brian Whitaker at Keysight Technologies examines how battery emulation and test software can help you accurately measure battery life and extend the battery life of an IoT device.
Battery life affects the cost and reliability of IoT-based infrastructure and is a key purchasing consideration for consumer electronic IoT devices.
Battery life can contribute significantly to the cost and reliability of the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. While for consumer electronic devices, battery life is often a critical purchase consideration. Therefore, the fact the calculated battery life of IoT devices is often inaccurate is a significant issue for manufacturers.
One method to measure battery life is to divide the battery capacity in amp-hours by the average current drain in amps, which provides a time in hours. However, in the real world, this calculation is overly simplistic.

The high-tech world we live in today demands super high speeds in our global IT infrastructure. In this commentary, Ben Miller at Keysight Technologies brings us to the frontiers of the data super highways needed to power the data-intensive applications that we use at work and in our lives.
Pushing the speed envelope with 1.6T data centre networks.
For the last 30 years, modern society has depended on data centre networks.
Networking speeds must continue to increase to keep up with the demand caused by emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and artificial intelligence (AI).
About the Author: Ben Miller is a Product Marketing Manager at Keysight Technologies, with experience in the semiconductor and test & measurement industries. He joined Keysight in 2022 as Product Marketing Manager for Digital Applications Software, promoting software solutions for Keysight’s oscilloscope, AWG, and BERT products. Ben has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.
Further innovation in high-speed data will enable 800 gigabits per second (800G) and 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) network speeds.
Cloud and edge computing: The intelligence factory
A recent trend is the offloading of data processing to external servers.
Hyperscale data centres have popped up globally to support cloud computing networks.
Smaller data centres for edge computing have also become more common for time-sensitive applications.
Data centres have become “intelligence factories” providing powerful computing resources for high-demand applications.
Edge computing is compelling for its impact on AVs.
Instead of hosting a supercomputer in the car to process the sensor data, AVs use smaller servers on the “edge,” dramatically reducing latency.
Cloud computing applications span from controlling factory robots to hosting thousands of VR users in the metaverse.
Today’s 400G data centres are not yet fast enough for many emerging applications, so the networking industry is already looking toward 1.6T.

Smokey tailpipe emissions may soon be a thing of the past. Hwee Yng Yeo at Keysight Technologies shares how the heavy transport vehicle market is catching up with the electric car market to lower their contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Private sedans and light-duty trucks lead the vehicle electrification race, leaving much upside opportunity for heavy transport fleets such as trucks and buses to catch up.
In the United States, data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reveals that while overall greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks declined over the past decade, medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses still chugged out well over 200 teragrams of C02 over the same period.
In Europe, the transportation industry must urgently decarbonise its trucks and buses to achieve the Paris Agreement target of keeping global warming below 2°C.

Although these two heavy road vehicles represent only 2% of vehicles on the road, they emit a quarter of all transport-related greenhouse gases.

Jonathan Wright at Keysight Technologies demystifies AI by deconstructing the hyperbolic myths that arise in the absence of easy to comprehend information about its development and use cases.
“Conquer Testing Complexities with Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)” — a thought leadership paper commissioned by Keysight Technologies.
The concept of intelligent machines has resulted in marketing misrepresentation diluting the true power of artificial intelligence (AI) — especially in the software space.
A recent Forrester report commissioned by Keysight identified a paradoxical relationship between the interest in and adoption of AI in the software space.
About the Author: Jonathan Wright is the Chief Technology Evangelist at Keysight Technologies and renowned AI expert. Jonathan is involved in the standards-setting bodies establishing guiding principles governing the development and use of this important emerging technology.
It suggests there is a willingness to embrace AI-enablement in furthering digital transformation, but few have begun to do so.
The report indicates that 45 per cent of software executives are considering adopting AI for their software within the next three years.
This contrasts with the 11 per cent of technology firms that are currently using it today.
We are in an age of people slapping AI on a product to describe its overall functionality when it is only one subset of a small function that may use an AI algorithm that has been developed.
This is amidst the hype surrounding AI and the inevitable use of it in marketing to sell AI-enabled products as a magic bullet solution to every imaginable challenge.
Understandably, software executives are approaching this promise with skepticism, resulting in the curious paradox.
Demystifying AI
At the root of this paradox is a misunderstanding about what AI is, how it works, and where the technology is in its development.
