The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has approved a new Ethernet standard to increase available bandwidth and improve the performance of the growing number of infotainment and driver-assist technologies.
Dubbed IEEE 802.3bw, the standard will provide 100 Mb/second Ethernet connectivity over a single twisted-pair cable. This will allow multiple applications to operate over an integrated network, which the Piscataway, N.J.-based engineering organization notes will reduce wiring requirements, weight and costs.
Building on the existing Open Alliance BroadR-Reach automotive specification, IEEE 802.3bw is the first of several new Ethernet-related standards that IEEE is developing. Future standards are targeting 1 Gb/second operation.

Honda Re-Imagines and Re-Engineers the Ridgeline
When Honda announced the first-generation Ridgeline in 2005, it opened the press release describing the vehicle: “The Honda Ridgeline re-defines what a truck can be with its true half-ton bed payload capability, an interior similar to a full-size truck and the exterior length of a compact truck.” And all that said, people simply couldn’t get over the way there is a diagonal piece, a sail-shaped buttress, between the cab and the box.
