GMC has launched the GMC Hummer EV SUV in Korea, marking the first debut of the brand’s flagship all-electric SUV in the local market. Built on General Motors' (GM) dedicated electric vehicle platform, the Hummer EV combines the rugged identity of the iconic Hummer brand with advanced electrification technologies, targeting consumers seeking both premium performance and outdoor versatility, the carmaker said. The model is equipped with a dual-motor system producing 578 horsepower and offers a driving range of up to 512 kilometers on a single charge. A key highlight is GMC’s electronically controlled four-wheel steering system designed to enhance maneuverability in both urban and off-road environments. Other features, such as CrabWalk, allow the rear wheels to turn in the same direction as the front wheels at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement in tight spaces or rough terrain. King Crab mode further sharpens handling by increasing rear-wheel steering response for improved agility

arXiv:2605.07657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Direct electric drivelines without power-split open new design freedom for frame and suspension design, along with often lower energy losses. This paper focuses on self-propelled agricultural machinery (combine and forage harvest-ers, root crop harvesters), equipment carriers, propelled trailers and field robots. For a typical vehicle with four driven wheels, the electric motors can be packaged as two axle modules or four wheel modules, both defined herein as self-contained mechatronic units with integrated power electronics, distributed control intelligence and steering. Axle module and wheel module concepts are compared in detail against engineering requirements including loads, effi-ciency, steerability, controllability, braking, suspension, structural load support, asymmetric wheel loading and manu-facturing cost. The wheel module offers maximum design freedom, redundancy and controllability, while the axle module provides lower

arXiv:2605.06684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tree-involved crashes represent a critical subset of run-off-road (ROR) collisions, often resulting in fatal or severe injuries due to high-energy impacts. This study develops a comprehensive analytical framework to identify and quantify risk factors contributing to crash severity in tree-involved collisions using the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) database spanning 2020-2023. The modeling framework follows a multi-step process. First, a machine learning based classification model (CatBoost) identifies key factors associated with binary crash injury severity (KA: fatal or incapacitating injury versus BC: non-incapacitating or possible injury). Second, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) tool is used to quantify and visualize the marginal effects of top influential factors on crash severity. Third, a binary logistic regression model estimates factor effects and validates SHAP-derived importance measures. Finally, SHAP interaction

arXiv:2605.06374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid parallelism underpins large-scale LLM training across tens of thousands of GPUs. At such scale, hardware failures on individual devices lead to performance skew across devices, diminishing overall training efficiency. Existing resilient systems overlook sequence length variability in datasets and device performance skew under hybrid parallelism. As a result, (1) iteration time fluctuations induced by sequence length variability can trigger spurious fail-slow detections, and (2) failures are mitigated through individual adaptations in hybrid parallelism, leading to unnecessary detection overhead and inefficient resilient training. To respond, this paper presents ResiHP, a resilient system that enables robust failure detection and fine-grained adaptation for hybrid parallel training. First, we develop a Detector to accurately identify failures. In particular, it employs a workload-aware execution time predictor that disentangles

Five years after Tesla (TSLA) unveiled its 4680 battery cell at Battery Day with promises of 5x the energy, 6x the power, and 16% more range, the data tells a very different story. Tesla’s homemade cells consistently deliver worse energy density, worse charging performance, and less range than the supplier cells they are meant to replace. The problem is getting harder to ignore now that Tesla is quietly swapping supplier batteries for its own 4680 cells in European Model Y vehicles — and owners are noticing the downgrade. more…
