dents on Ford-sponsored teamsin Formula SAE, Solar Car, SAESuper mileage and other serieswork to make their cars as aero-dynamically efficient as possible,said Ford spokeswoman DeeptieSethi.They aim for perfection – striv-

ing to be the fastest and the best,said Erik Stancato, a Ford vehiclearchitecture-vehicle integrationengineer. Stancato formerly cap-tained his Formula SAE team atthe University of Michigan-Dear-born. Along their journey, Fordengineers help them refine theircraft in one of the company’sworld-class wind tunnels.

Ford has been inspiring andmentoring the next generation ofdedicated student racers formore than a decade, offering thetime and expertise of its engi-neers and allowing the teams toput their cars to the test in itstunnel facilities in Allen Park,Deeptie said.An automotive wind tunnel

generates a controlled stream offast-moving air, simulating real-world conditions to allow aero-dynamic development in vehi-cles.Ford’s wind tunnel, Deeptie said,

is particularly sophisticated, pro-viding both aerodynamic andaeroacoustic testing in a wide va-riety of environmental conditionsfor the company’s diverse lineupof both current and future vehi-cles. Ultimately, the facility allowsFord to bring higher-quality prod-ucts to its customers.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) – Michi-gan would no longer require thatsomeone be inside a self-drivingcar while testing it on publicroads under legislation passedunanimously Sept. 7 by the stateSenate, where backers touted themeasures as necessary to keepthe U.S. auto industry’s homestate ahead of the curve on rap-idly advancing technology.The measures, which are on

track for final legislative ap-proval by year’s end and is sup-ported by Republican Gov. RickSnyder, would end a requirementthat a researcher be present in-side an autonomous test vehicle.The researcher would have to“promptly’’ take control of itsmovements if necessary, or thevehicle would have to be able tostop or slow on its own.

Supporters said the human op-erator requirement is seen as animpediment that could putMichigan at risk of losing re-search and development to otherstates.Other provisions would let

“platoons’’ of commercial truckstravel closely together at elec-tronically coordinated speedsand help create a facility to testautonomous and wirelessly con-nected cars at highway speeds atthe site of a defunct General Mo-tors plant that once churned outWorld War II bombers. Also, automanufacturers would be author-ized to run networks of on-de-mand self-driving vehicles.It is a nod to the carmakers’ in-

creasing efforts to reinvent them-selves as “mobility’’ companies.GM has invested in ride-hailing

company Lyft; Toyota in Uber.Google, which is opening a self-driving tech development inMichigan, is partnering with FiatChrysler.The lead sponsor of the legisla-

tion, Republican Sen. MikeKowall of White Lake in subur-ban Detroit, said driverless cartechnology could be as big for

Michigan as Henry Ford’s cre-ation of the assembly line.“We’re moving into the next

century,’’ he said told senators.“With your assistance, we’re go-ing to secure Michigan’s place ...as the center of the universe forautonomous vehicle studies, re-search, development and manu-facturing.’’

A wide variety of studentteams are putting their proto-type vehicles to the test atFord’s wind tunnel facility Someof these include the University ofMichigan-Dearborn; Universityof Michigan-Ann Arbor; MissouriUniversity of Science and Tech-nology; Massachusetts Instituteof Technology; Michigan StateUniversity; and The Ohio StateUniversity.“For Ford, this is great commu-

nity involvement,” said Stancato.“We have the testing facilities,we can answer the technicalquestions, and we can offer oc-casional manufacturing sup-port.”Steve Wegryn, Ford supervisor

of wind tunnel operations, saidthe facility lets the studentscome full-circle on their designs.“By simulating race speeds,

they can validate their projec-tions and estimations on down-force and drag with hard data –enabling them to tweak their de-sign for optimal performance,”Wegryn said.That’s very true, said Justin

Rujan, lead aerodynamics engi-neer for the Formula SAE team atUniversity of Michigan-Dear-born.He recently spent a day in

Ford’s wind tunnel.“In a book, you can learn the

basics and lay the groundworkto make design choices,” Rujansaid. “But until you can actuallyapply that, and know you’re do-ing it the right way, it’s hard tomake those choices.”In May 2015, the U-M Dearborn

team placed 8th out of 120 col-lege teams at the Michigan Inter-national Speedway, competingagainst teams from around theworld, Deeptie said.However, the results can be

seen long before the race begins.Tristan MacKethan, a junior andco-aerodynamic lead for FormulaSAE’s MRacing at the Universityof Michigan-Ann Arbor, said histeam was able to optimize down-force by 24 percent as a result ofan eight-hour session in the tun-nel.Downforce improves traction

and cornering abilities, both im-portant factors in racing. Ulti-mately, this should lead to fasterlap times on the track.MacKethan, interning at Ford

this summer in the autonomousvehicle platform group, is part ofa growing community of recruitsfrom the program, Deeptie said.Competing on a student team

offers benefits even after college,said Joe Hendrickson, whojoined Ford as a systems engi-neer soon after graduating fromthe University of Michigan-AnnArbor in 2015.He served as captain of his For-

mula SAE team his senior year.“With this program, you’re us-

ing your degree before you evenget out of school,” he says.“You’re used to changing thingsaround, collaborating, tryingnew things. That’s helped me im-mensely in my position at Ford.”

Michigan Ponders New Autonomous Testing Regulations

DETROIT (AP) – A Volkswagenengineer has pleaded guilty toone count of conspiracy in thecompany's emissions cheatingscandal and has agreed to coop-erate in the widening criminal in-vestigation.James Robert Liang, 62, of

Newberry Park, Calif., enteredthe plea Sept. 9 in U.S. DistrictCourt in Detroit to one count ofconspiracy to defraud the gov-ernment through wire fraud.Volkswagen has admitted to in-

stalling software on about 500,0002-liter diesel engines in VW andAudimodels in the U.S. that turnedpollution controls on during gov-ernment tests and turned them offwhile on the road. The Environ-mental Protection Agency foundthat the cars emitted up to 40times the legal limit for nitrogenoxide.Liang was indicted in June on

one count of conspiracy to com-mit wire fraud and another countof violating the Clean Air Act. Heallegedly helped design the com-puter software that cheated ondiesel emissions tests. The in-dictment alleges Liang and un-named co-conspirators resortedto using the cheating software af-ter realizing the cars couldn'tboth meet consumer expecta-tions for performance and satisfyU.S. emissions standards.Liang pleaded guilty to the

conspiracy charge the morningof Sept. 9 before Judge Sean Cox.He will be sentenced on Jan. 11.The judge said that sentencingguidelines call for Liang to servefive years in prison.The cooperation of Liang, who

began work in Wolfsburg, Ger-many, and also worked in theU.S., is a breakthrough in the Jus-tice Department's investigation.

The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EVwill offer drivers a customizableone-pedal driving experiencethat allows for maximum total ve-hicle range.One-pedal driving combines

the highest available level of re-generative braking, which cap-tures otherwise lost energy fromdeceleration and sends it back tothe Bolt EV battery pack for thegreatest total vehicle range, saidGM spokesman Fred Ligouri.Along with additional softwarecontrols, regen braking allowsthe driver to stop the vehiclewithout using the brake pedal incertain driving conditions.“Bolt EV customers who want

an engaging driving experiencewill love the thrill of one-pedaldriving,” said Bolt EV Chief Engi-neer Josh Tavel. “They will beable to tailor the vehicle to theirpreferred driving style and maxi-mize their range.”Progressively stronger levels

of regen braking, Tavel said, areemployed in all Bolt EV drivingthrough a series of four driver-se-lectable modes:• Operating in Drive and eas-

ing off the accelerator.• Operating in Drive and using

the Regen on Demand paddle onthe back of the steering wheel.• Operating in Low and easing

off the accelerator.• Operating in Low and using

the Regen on Demand paddle intandem.Number 1 provides the lowest

level of regen braking and re-quires the use of the brake pedalto bring the vehicle to a com-plete stop, Tavel said. Numbers2-4 are progressively strongerone-pedal driving modes that incertain driving situations allow adriver to stop the vehicle with-out using the brake pedal. (One-pedal modes do not eliminate theneed to use the brake pedal alto-gether, especially in emergencysituations.)Using a vehicle simulation

model, engineers compared re-gen performance on a testing cy-cle that simulated heavy stop-and-go traffic in Drive and anoth-er using one-pedal driving whilein Low and also the Regen on De-mand paddle, Tavel said. The en-gineers found that the one-pedaldriving can add up to 5 percentof range to the Bolt EV.During interviews with Chevro-

let, Ligouri said EV enthusiastsexpressed their desire for one-pedal driving capability. Bolt EVowners, much like Chevrolet'sVolt customers, will enjoy usingregen braking to maximize everycharge of the vehicle’s 60 kWhbattery pack.The Bolt EV is GM-estimated to

provide 200 miles or more ofrange, Ligouri said.

Throughout the year, thou-sands of teamGM Cares volun-teers across the globe partici-pate in impactful projects men-toring youth, conducting fooddrives, assisting with the disas-ter relief efforts and more.In August, 2,500 GM employees

participated in the “Grow Cody

The Tech Center News is mark-ing its 40th anniversary this week.The first edition of the newspa-

per came out on Sept. 13, 1976,and the top headline was “’77Chevrolets Boast Style and Econ-omy” with the story stating howthe redesigned Caprice and Im-pala offered “crisp” new styling.Founder Bill Springer said the

idea of the Tech Center News cameout of a newspaper called theNew Center News, that covered theNew Center Area of Detroit, hometo GM’s former headquarters.The New Center News proved

to be very popular with GM em-ployees who worked in the NewCenter Area.“After the GM Tech Center

opened in 1956,” Springer said,“employees began to migratefrom the headquarters in theNew Center area to the TechCenter, but work would requiresome to visit headquarters, andwhen they would go back to War-ren, they would bring copies ofthe New Center News with them.”This led to a desire for a simi-

lar newspaper for people at theTech Center.“Back in 1976, the GM Tech

Center was the largest private re-search park in the world,”Springer said. “The motto for thesite was ‘Where Today Meets To-morrow.’ And at that time manyof the people who worked at theTech Center purchased homes inthe surrounding area.”That made starting a new paper

a natural idea, mirroring the samedynamic that had existed in the

New Center Area, Springer added.Thus the Tech Center News was

formed. And the newspaper hasbeen continuously published forthe last 40 years [in print].This week marks that anniver-

sary with the beginning of Volume41, as can be seen in the banneron page one.“There was a man named Mert

Carpenter, who was known as ‘Mr.Tech Center’ back in the 1970s,”according to Springer.Carpenter was director of the

General Motors Service Section,the unit that oversaw the mainte-nance of the Tech Center groundsand facilities at the time.“He knew virtually everything

there was to know about the TechCenter, from its inception,”Springer said. “His insights wereinvaluable at the time.”Eero Saarinen was the original

designer of the GM Tech Centerand his work was honored by theU.S. Department of the Interior in2014, when the National Park Serv-ice granted the Tech Center a Na-tional Historic Landmark status.

the focus of bargaining as thetwo sides hash out a new con-tract agreement. The union’scontracts with GM, Ford MotorCo. and Fiat Chrysler expire at11:59 p.m. on Sept. 19. If anagreement isn’t reached by thedeadline, the union could call astrike.Any deal reached with GM also

would be used as a pattern forthe other two companies. Theunion, Unifor, represents 23,000GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler work-ers in Canada.“These negotiations are about

the future of local communities,good jobs and the industry. Ourdemand is clear, invest today tobuild a future for tomorrow,’’Unifor President Jerry Dias saidat a news conference Sept. 6 inToronto.“Policy makers and the public

need to understand what is atstake here.’’Talks so far have been con-

tentious, especially with GeneralMotors. The company wants acontract that’s more cost-com-petitive with the United AutoWorkers union in the U.S. Uniforwants guarantees that new prod-ucts will go into a GM factory inOshawa, Ontario.The Oshawa plant employs ap-

proximately 2,400 hourly work-ers and builds the Chevrolet Im-pala, Cadillac XTS and Buick Re-gal.All three cars have been slow

sellers as the North Americanmarket shifts away from cars totrucks and Sports Utility Vehi-cles.General Motors has said about

75 percent of the workers at theOshawa plant are eligible for fullretirement benefits, leadingsome workers to believe that thecompany wants to close the fac-tory.GM also employs 1,400 Unifor

members at an engine factory inSt. Catherines, Ontario, and 60people at a parts center in Wood-stock, Ontario.General Motors employs more

than 6,000 Unifor members inCanada, but 2,600 who work atthe CAMI plant in Ingersoll, On-tario, aren’t covered by the con-tract.That plant, which makes the

hot selling Chevrolet Equinoxand GMC Terrain SUVs, operatesunder a separate contract thatexpires next September.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) – About70 credit card skimmers havebeen found at Michigan gas sta-tions since the first device wasdiscovered more than a yearago.The Michigan Department of

Agriculture and Rural Develop-ment, which inspects pumps,said Sept. 1 that the skimmerscan be installed in seconds andcannot be seen from outside thepump.Criminals open pumps with

keys and use the device to copymotorists’ credit card informa-tion and buy things fraudulently.Gas station owners can

change locks, install securitycameras and use tamper-proofsecurity tape to thwart the in-stallation of skimmers.Jamie Clover Adams, who

leads the agricultural agency, en-courages station owners to alsoincrease their regular dispenserinspections.

been unanimously approved bythe Boards of Directors of bothcompanies, the Audit Committeeof Icahn Enterprises and the Spe-cial Committee of independentdirectors previously establishedby Federal-Mogul’s Board of Di-rectors to review and evaluate Ic-ahn Enterprises’ proposal. Thetransaction is structured as atender offer followed by a merg-er, Zabriskie said.Federal-Mogul’s Board of Di-

come a privately held companyand its common shares will nolonger be listed on the NASDAQor any public market.Consummation of the transac-

tion is subject to a “majority ofthe minority” minimum condi-tion and other customary condi-tions, Zabriskie said.Federal-Mogul, headquartered

DETROIT (AP) – Mazda is re-calling 2.2 million cars and SUVsworldwide because the rearhatches can fall on people andinjure them.The recall covers certain 2010

DETROIT (AP) – General Mo-tors Co. has settled two federalcourt cases related to its defec-tive ignition switches, but its le-gal troubles stemming from theswitches are far from over.GM settled the cases for an

undisclosed amount, plaintiffs’attorney Bob Hilliard said Sept.5. In both cases, the plaintiffssaid they sustained serious in-juries when the air bags in theirvehicles didn’t deploy. GM hashas said that ignition switches inolder cars could fall out of posi-tion without warning and shut offthe engine and air bags.The cases are among several

so-called “bellwether’’trials thatare testing the legal boundariesof hundreds of claims againstGM. So far this year, one federalbellwether case was dropped be-fore trial, GM won two, and threehave been settled. Three morefederal cases are scheduled to beheard next year, and one isscheduled for January 2018, GMspokesman Jim Cain said.GM also has been trying some

bellwether cases at the state lev-el. In one of those cases, a Texasjury decided last month that aGM ignition switch wasn’t toblame for a 2011 fatal crash.GM knew about problems with

the switches for more than adecade before it finally recalled2.6 million small cars worldwidein 2014 to replace the defectiveswitches. The switches are re-sponsible for at least 124 deathsand 275 injuries, according to avictims’ fund set up by GM andadministered by attorney Ken-neth Feinberg.GM has paid nearly $875 mil-

lion to settle death and injuryclaims, including $600 millionfrom Feinberg’s fund and $275million to settle 1,385 separate

claims. It also has paid $300 mil-lion to settle shareholder law-suits. But many others are pursu-ing their claims in court.Carl Tobias, a law professor at

the University of Richmond, saidthat so far GM seems to be will-ing to try the weaker plaintiffs’cases but settle the ones that arestronger. But the company has along way to go before it resolvesall of the cases, he said.In addition to the cases al-

ready scheduled, GM could befacing lawsuits from victimswhose alleged injuries occurredbefore GM’s 2009 bankruptcy. InJuly, a U.S. appeals court ruledthat GM’s bankruptcy can’tshield the company from thoselawsuits. GM is appealing thatruling. Hilliard said at least 133pre-bankruptcy cases could bebrought against the automaker.Hilliard said the settlements

announced Sept. 5 create “mo-mentum’’ as the company andplaintiffs continue to try to re-solve the cases before them. Forits part, GM said it shares plain-tiffs’ goal of “a fair and timely res-olution of lawsuits.’’The cases settled Sept 5 both

involved women who were driv-ing at low speeds. In the firstcase, Stephanie Cockram wasdriving her 2006 ChevroletCobalt home from a friend’shouse in Virginia on June 28,2011, when she lost control ofher car and hit a stone wall. Herair bags didn’t deploy. Cockramsuffered a closed head injury,broken jaw and broken hip.In the second case, Amy

Norville lost control of her 2003Saturn Ion in Kentucky on Nov.21, 2013, when she swerved toavoid hitting a deer. Norvillecouldn’t regain control of her ve-hicle and crashed into a tree, butthe air bags didn’t deploy.Norville broke her sternum andsuffered multiple neck fractures.
