Well, the same principle applies to electric vehicles and EV batteries, only on a much larger scale.
So, do electric vehicles use liquid cooling?
Broadly speaking, liquid cooling relies on either water or a liquid coolant such as ethylene glycol.
While a definite improvement over air cooling, liquid does have its own set of challenges.
Fortunately, you won't need to look far to find a car that relies on liquid cooling, since it's the most widely-used method.

“Modern vehicles typically integrate a wide array of sensors, software systems, and always-on connectivity, effectively becoming ‘smartphones on wheels,'” states the research paper covering the study results.
Researchers found: Vehicles and companion apps contact numerous third-party domains, including advertisers and trackers.
Seven of 30 apps transmit personally identifiable information (PII) to third-party companies, resulting in allowing advertisers to build in-depth consumer profiles.
Pairing a companion app roughly doubled a vehicle’s exposure to advertising/tracking companies, on average, and in some cases added 20-plus new ones.
“The ongoing theme of all these responses was shifting the blame to the consumer,” the paper states.

Because each slice can be designed with its own quality of service guarantees, network slicing has significantly enhanced the growth of vehicular networks.
Mobility management is the set of techniques that dynamically preserves these slice relationships and quality of service guarantees while users or devices move.
In advanced vehicular networks, the authors emphasize, network slicing and mobility management are two key components that must collaborate to ensure quality of service.
Enter deep reinforcement learning, a machine learning technique that combines deep neural networks with the trial-and-error logic of reinforcement learning.

OCTO Telematics and TruckerCloud Target Commercial Auto Insurance OCTO Telematics and TruckerCloud have formed a partnership to speed the adoption of telematics in U.S. commercial auto insurance.
The integration extends data ingestion, risk segmentation, and underwriting support to light- and medium-duty commercial vehicles, a segment that has largely gone unconnected.
Mojio Becomes Force Fleet and Launches the Felix AI Assistant Telematics provider Mojio has retired its name and relaunched as Force Fleet, aiming at small and mid-sized commercial operators.
Force Fleet is also adding integrations, including one with Housecall Pro that brings real-time telematics into field dispatch and work-order scheduling.
It draws on data the vehicles already generate, so no aftermarket hardware is needed to track utilization, diagnostics, and operating costs.

Ottawa [Canada], October 4 (ANI): Canada’s decision to significantly reduce tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) has triggered fresh concerns over national security, cybersecurity and the potential collection of sensitive data, according to a report by The Epoch Times.
The media outlet reported that Chinese EVs are expected to gain greater access to the Canadian market following Ottawa’s decision to cut the tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles from 100 per cent to 6.1 per cent.
According to The Epoch Times, the agreement initially permits up to 49,000 Chinese EVs annually to enter Canada at the reduced tariff, with the quota expected to increase in subsequent years.
The concerns were highlighted during a 90-minute discussion titled “Cheap cars, high costs: The security reality of China’s EVs”, hosted by the Ottawa-based Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
The panel brought together industry and policy experts to examine the potential security implications of Canada’s EV agreement with China, The Epoch Times reported.

At 8:17 every morning, a connected car leaves an apartment complex in Mumbai and heads to the owner’s office.
Tata Motors’ iRA platform provides vehicle location, trip information, vehicle status, driving scores and vehicle-health information.
By 2030, India could become the world’s third largest connected car market, after China and the US, he says.
“Selling a connected car creates an opportunity for subscription revenue, but does not guarantee it,” says Ravi Bhatia, president of automotive research firm Jato Dynamics.

And a new study just illuminated how much data is coming from your car, and who's on the receiving end.
Northeastern researchers had to find and build clever ways to reroute Wi-Fi and cellular signals from the cars to their data collectors — same with the applications.
Between the cars and their apps, data was sent to several large companies: Alphabet (which owns Google), Amazon, Spotify, Microsoft, and Meta (which owns Facebook).
As for the apps' data, strange names to come up on the list included Pinterest, Reddit, Docusign, Dun & Bradstreet, and a software company called Press Ganey Forsta.
Manufacturers' other explanation for data sharing was that sharing was on the consumer.

The nature and privilege of my job mean I have countless phones lying around, so I figured it made sense to leave an older Android device in my vehicle as a dedicated Android Auto device.
After that, I configured Android Auto the same way I do on every device, including my Pixel 11 Pro.
This means that I removed several apps from Android Auto's launcher by navigating to Settings > Connected Devices > Connection Preferences > Android Auto > Customize Launcher.
Lastly, I set Start Android Auto Automatically to Always on my phone and in my car, and also turned on Start Android Auto While Locked.
What does using a dedicated Android Auto phone really change?

The bill would bar vehicles made by companies with more than a 15% ownership stake from Chinese entities.
“It is literally a driving spy machine on wheels,” Slotkin said of Chinese vehicles.
Chinese automakers have expanded rapidly overseas, competing aggressively on price and technology and putting pressure on established manufacturers in Europe and other markets.
But in early September, before he hosted China’s Xi, Trump again said he would not oppose Chinese automakers building cars in the United States.
But some are concerned that the 15% ownership cap could hurt companies with strong roots in the United States.

<br /> The Connected Vehicle Security Act is entering a critical stretch in Congress, with lawmakers facing a limited legislative window to advance legislation that restricts connected vehicles and related technology from countries designated as foreign entities of concern.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, joins us on CBT Live to discuss where the bill stands and what comes next for the auto industry.
Although the bill has already cleared a key Senate hurdle, Moreno says the next challenge is aligning the House and Senate on the legislation.
Since the bill passed the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously on July 22 and was later placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar, Moreno said the compressed legislative calendar makes consensus particularly important.
For dealers, Moreno says the immediate focus should be on the legislation’s remaining path through Congress and the potential implications for franchise values and the competitive landscape.
