Volkswagen promises an update of the emission control software – Clubic

The German brand indicates that all of its software dedicated to pollution results will be reviewed. A large patch will be deployed by Volkswagen in 2016.

Volkswagen will conduct a general review of the software to quantify the release of some of its models. Audi and Porsche are also involved in this review, which should be proposed as a simple update. These manufacturers will contact owners of the affected models to agree with them on a date.

During the interview at a garage, which should last between 30 minutes and an hour, internal software in the vehicle will be adjusted to incorporate this new update. From 2016, these reminders will be scheduled.

In September, Volkswagen has acknowledged installed on several of its diesel car models, a system to thwart certain emission tests. An algorithm contained in embedded software was able to recognize these events and act accordingly when notified bodies were making pollution testing.

Volkswagen: new software problem! – The Computer

  Still in the heart of the scandal over rigged the tool for measuring the pollution of its vehicles, which it will perform an update early 2016 to 8.5 million models, the Volkswagen manufacturer faces a new software problem this time affecting fuel consumption in many vehicles.
 
 

Belote and rebelote! While his image has been severely scratched in recent weeks because of deception on proven tool for measuring pollution, Volkswagen is again embroiled in a scandal. And again, this is software that is in question.

 

This is the German newspaper Die Welt which reports this information: in this case, the software that manages the recovery of kinetic energy in the battery. The direct consequence would be a negative influence on the consumption of certain cars. Failure concerns “ many combustion engine automobiles ,” the newspaper writes, without giving specific figures.

 

A spokesman for the group confirmed the existence of this problem. Volkswagen would itself acknowledged that new default at a meeting with the Commission of Inquiry, while trying to gather information on the scandal of falsified emissions. The vehicles concerned should also be recalled forward. “ If a software error influences consumption and therefore CO2 emissions of a vehicle, it must be asked whether the outstanding authorization (of the vehicle) is still valid ,” explained our colleagues a member of the inquiry commission.

 
 

This is a new thorn in the foot that Volkswagen is recalling 8.5 million vehicles to correct the rigged software pollution control. Each customer concerned will be contacted for an operation whose duration may vary depending on engine but which take about an hour.

 

 

The Audi A1 1.6-liter diesel will spend about 1 hour in the garage …

 

The Volkswagen Group presented to the German Federal Office for movement of motor vehicles (KBA) concrete solutions. They concern currently 1.6 2l engines, which represent the majority of the affected cars. In the case of the 2.0 TDI engine, for example, simply a software update to the garage. However, it will be more complex for the 1.6 Diesel engines (which are for example equipped the Polo or the Audi A1), which require mechanical intervention.

We had planned to go to the Capitol, we will have had the bazaar: the Toulouse event dedicated to free software would indeed be held the weekend of 21 November in the premises of ENSEEIHT (pronounced N7) to its fifth edition. Unfortunately, fate decided otherwise: following the attacks of Paris, INP Toulouse which includes ENSEEIHT decided to cancel the holding of the event, unable to meet the security requirements.
 

Blow to the Toulouse event, which this year showed a record number of conferences. Capitol free hoped together a little over 1200 participants from around the different exchange proposed themes: multimedia tools, more technical subjects or the major issues of the free.

The cancellation fell Monday, with the regrets of INP Toulouse, but final. So in the space of four days, activists of the Association Toulibre have managed to organize a new event, simply called the Bazaar free, in an allusion to the book claimed founder of the current open source Eric Raymond “The Cathedral and the Bazaar “.

” When we announced the cancellation of the event at ENSEEIHT, a lot of speakers we are told “Anyway even if nothing happens, we planned to come to Toulouse, tickets are taken, then it comes. “So we thought: there, we have to attempt something” explains Emannuelle Helly, member of the Association Toulibre behind the event.
 

In hard times, rely on the associative solidarity

There remained the question of a new venue for conferences: the associative fabric Toulouse has come to the rescue. The public lectures were relocated to Mix’art Myrys, Self artistic squat on the edge of downtown, while the conferences on 2D and 3D design tools were staying with Artilect, local Fablab.

In parallel, the coworking space Spark hosted the conference and the theme Devops ekito accelerator undertook conferences dedicated to KDE. “The distribution of themes and locations was done so a bit chaotic, but hey, it was an emergency,” says Emannuelle Helly. “We had many proposals from other Toulouse associations. And we met a nice support from Mix’art Myrys: we started by asking them to simply use one of their container, and they offered two conference rooms and finally fourteen of their volunteers came spinning us a hand to handle the event. ”

The framework detonates a bit: the regulars austere corridors ENSEEIHT have felt a bit disconcerted amidst the colorful industrial wasteland occupied by the activists of Mix’art Myrys. But the turning of a container or an improvised bar association include conferences and known faces of Toulouse digital microcosm. Mix’art is also not new at this.
