‘Groundbreaking' AI can save motorists £1000s on repair bills as it detects faults before they happen
A 'GROUNDBREAKING' piece of AI could save motorists thousands of pounds as it detects faults before they happen. The impressive piece of software sends data to an app, which alerts drivers to any potential problems. 1 Currently only available in the Porsche Macan, the tech works by sending real-time diagnostics data to the cloud which is then analysed by artificial intelligence. Any irregularities or problems are then sent to an app which the owner can check for any looming issues. Motorists will then be advised to take their vehicle to the local garage. The technology has been dubbed the first-of-its kind with manufacturers traditionally reacting to problems rather than catching them early on. Speaking to Auto Express, Porsche's head of data-driven quality Nora Lobenstein, said: "up until now, [manufacturers] have been reactionary to problems. "With this preventative concept, we can detect a problem, even if for the customer it's not possible.' 'It's really interesting what we learn from all of this. Especially in how high-voltage cells and battery systems behave. It's not something that we could monitor before.' Whilst the feature is only available in the Macan for now, rumours suggest it might soon come to the Taycan too. Lobenstein also suggested it could come to ICE Porsche cars such as the 911 but said for now the company is "concentraiting on high-voltage battery technology." This comes just days after it was revealed that millions of car owners will soon be able to have conversations with their vehicle, through Google's new artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. Heartstopping moment self-driving car smashes into van parked in driveway as driver is slapped with a ticket Gemini, as the assistant is called, is soon being injected into Android Auto - the infotainment system built into over 250million cars. "The future of driving is getting a whole lot smarter with Gemini, your AI assistant from Google, coming to your car soon," Patrick Brady, vice president of the Android for Cars division, wrote in a new blog post on Google's website. It means drivers will be able to use natural spoken language to ask Gemini to fulfil requests, such as sending a message to a friend, finding an on-route restaurant and even sorting through emails. Drivers won't have to remember specific phrases, or press any on-screen buttons, to pull up apps or find new stops on their journey. "Sending messages to a friend who prefers another language? You can tell Gemini to remember to always send messages to Joe in Spanish," explained Brady. "Then later, when you message Joe, rather than just transcribing verbatim what you say, Gemini can help craft the perfect message for you. "You can edit that message without having to start over and then even have it translated in over 40 languages."

Saudi Arabia launches joint venture to produce high-voltage insulators
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia's power sector is set to receive a significant boost following the launch of a new joint venture aimed at localizing the production of high-voltage porcelain insulators, a key component in the Kingdom's push to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports. The agreement, signed under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy, brings together China's Dalian Insulators Group, Power Union Co. — a subsidiary of Al-Ojaimi Industrial Group — and the Saudi firm Greengrid. The consortium will establish a new facility within the Kingdom to produce high-voltage and extra-high-voltage suspension porcelain insulators used in electricity transmission and distribution networks. The deal was formalized by Salem Mohammed Al-Ojaimi, CEO of Al-Ojaimi Industrial Group, and Chen Junrong, chairman and general manager of Dalian Insulators Group. Under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy, a joint venture agreement has been signed to advance localization in the conventional power sector. — وزارة الطاقة (@MoEnergy_Saudi) May 25, 2025 The initiative aligns closely with Saudi Arabia's economic diversification plan that emphasizes local industry development, reduced import dependency, and private sector engagement. The venture is expected to reinforce local energy supply chains, reduce operational costs, and generate employment opportunities within the power sector. In a statement on X, the Ministry of Energy said the agreement seeks to 'enhance local manufacturing capabilities in the conventional power sector to achieve the goal of localizing energy sector components by 2030.' The initiative is part of Nuwatin — Arabic for 'We Localize' — a flagship program under the Energy Localization initiative, unveiled at the Energy Localization Forum in Riyadh last October. It aims to guide energy companies toward national localization targets, including expanding industrial capacity, increasing GDP contribution, boosting exports, and improving the trade balance. Porcelain insulators are vital to the reliability and safety of high-voltage transmission lines, providing both mechanical and electrical stability. Local production is expected to enhance grid resilience, reduce long-term infrastructure costs, and accelerate the development of a self-reliant domestic energy industry. Established in 1915, Dalian Insulators Group is a leading Chinese manufacturer of high-voltage insulators and has been publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since 2011. The company has supplied more than eight million porcelain insulators to major transmission projects globally, including China's 1,000kV UHV AC and 800kV DC lines. As Saudi Arabia continues its transition to a more diversified and resilient energy economy, this joint venture represents a strategic step forward in strengthening industrial cooperation and advancing energy sector localization.
