Apple making a car after all? Top engineer Doug Field returns from Tesla





This amid signs self-driving Project Titan is huge in scope


SAN FRANCISCO — Doug Field, who stepped down as the senior vice president of engineering at Telsa last month, is returning to Apple, the company said on Thursday.
Field will be working with Apple executive Bob Mansfield, who has been heading up Apple's self-driving car program, Project Titan. Field and Mansfield previously worked together on engineering Apple's line of Mac computers.
Field has spent the past five years at Tesla. In April, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a tweet that he had asked Field to manage the company's engineering and production while Musk focused more time on Model 3 production.
But in May, reports emerged that Field was leaving the carmaker, which has raced to meet production targets for the Model 3. At the time, Tesla said Field was "just taking some time off to recharge and spend time with his family. He has not left Tesla."
In July, Tesla announced that Field had left Tesla.
Apple has said little about the scope of its self-driving car project, though it seemingly had given up plans to create a car from scratch and was focusing instead on the autonomous technology only. But court documents filed last month said that as many as 5,000 people were authorized inside the company to access information about the project.

The Role of a Catalytic Converter in Your Car and the Effects of a Bad One

When it comes to your car’s exhaust system, the catalytic converter (often called the "catalyst") plays a crucial role in reducing harmful emissions. However, when it fails, it can lead to performance issues and even legal problems. In this blog post, we’ll explore **how a catalytic converter works** and **what happens when it goes bad**.   What Does a Catalytic Converter Do? The catalytic converter is an essential part of your car’s exhaust system. Its main job is to **convert harmful pollutants into less harmful gases** before they exit the tailpipe. Here’s how it works:   1. Reduces Harmful Emissions The catalyst contains precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium,which facilitate chemical reactions that break down pollutants:   - Carbon monoxide (CO)→ Converted into carbon dioxide (CO₂) - Hydrocarbons (HC)→ Converted into water (H₂O) and CO₂  - Nitrogen oxides (NOx) → Broken down into nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂)* 2. Helps M...

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ALERT!

------ AUTOMOBILE 101 ------ >>> MAINTENANCE ALARM <<< i just serviced my car but this alarm is still there, what do i do? I've treated this topic so many times but same question keep coming.  To make this simple, this alarm.is to notify you that your engine is due for oil change. But bear in mind the ECU of your car is not intelligent like human brain to know you just changed oil. This is OIL LIFE that work with mileage counter working hand in hand with your odometer and once the vehicle have covered some kilometers/miles the alarm pops up to imform you that the vehicle now need oil change since it have covered the required distance. This duration is dependent on the car make and the manufacturer. Vehicles like German machines have longer counts while vehicles like Japanese have shorter count. Each time you do an oil change always reset this oil life to start counting down again from 100% once it gets down to 10% or 20% this alarm pops up. So each tim...

Timing Belt vs. Timing Chain: Understanding the Difference and Knowing When to Replace

When it comes to your car’s engine, the timing system plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operation. Two common types of timing mechanisms are the timing belt and the timing chain. While both serve the same fundamental purpose of synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, they differ in material, durability, and maintenance requirements.   In this blog post, we’ll explore the differences between timing belts and timing chains, their pros and cons, and when you should consider replacing them to avoid costly engine damage.   Timing Belt vs. Timing Chain: Key Differences 1. Timing Belt - Material: Made of reinforced rubber with high-tensile fibers (like fiberglass or Kevlar).   - Operation: Runs quietly and smoothly.   - Maintenance: Requires periodic replacement (typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer).   - Cost: Generally cheaper to replace than a timing chain but must be changed proacti...
