品玩 7 月 29 日讯，据 EuroNews 报道，欧盟委员会正在考虑设立一个新的董事会，该董事会可能由两名反垄断高级官员领导，旨在执行严厉的新规定从而限制大型科技公司的权力。此前外界担忧欧盟竞争监管机构可能难以让 Alphabet 旗下谷歌公司、亚马逊、苹果、Meta 和微软等科技巨头遵守《数字市场法案》(Digital Markets Act)。设立新董事会可能会缓解外界这一担忧。这项具有里程碑意义的规定于今年 3 月达成，将于明年生效。他们将禁止这些公司将自己的产品设置为优先选项、迫使应用程序开发者使用他们的支付系统，并利用用户数据来推动竞争服务。据报道，欧盟委员会反垄断部门的新董事会可能由信息、通信和媒体主管 Alberto Bacchiega 领导，负责涉及科技、媒体和消费电子行业的反垄断和并购案件。Bacchiega 还可能得到电子商务和数据经济反垄断案件部门主管 Thomas Kramler 的协助，该部门目前正牵头调查苹果和亚马逊。据报道，这两位官员已经与欧盟委员会通信网络、内容和技术总局的官员保持联系，该局将共同执行《数字市场法案》。

The Information 的记者 Wayne Ma 今天发表了一篇深入的报告，详述了苹果在打造自动驾驶电动车方面的努力，包括技术上的挑战和自该项目大约八年前开始以来的几次领导层变动。报告称，该车的最新设计具有四个朝内的座椅，允许乘客彼此面对面交谈，同时还有一个类似于大众甲壳虫车顶的弧形车顶。苹果公司的设计师还在试验一种后备箱，可以自动升起以方便拿取东西，不使用时又自动降下，据说设计师们还讨论了可上升和下降的大型座椅靠背屏幕。 图源：The Infomation 苹果公司的前设计总监 Jony Ive 仍以顾问身份参与了该项目。Ive 于 2019 年离开苹果公司，创办了独立的设计公司 LoveFrom，他建议苹果汽车团队 “应该向车辆设计的怪异性倾斜，不要试图隐藏其传感器”。The Information 称，苹果公司的目标是获得美国国家公路交通安全管理局的豁免，以推出没有方向盘和刹车踏板的车辆。关于自动驾驶技术，据说苹果汽车团队已经精心制作了多个演示视频，向蒂姆 - 库克和其他高管展示。

品玩 6 月 28 日讯，据 TheElec 报道，三星 SDI 计划新建 4680 电池产线为特斯拉供货。目前，三星 SDI 在天安（Cheonan）建立了一条电池测试产线，相关测试工作将于今年年底完成。最新消息称，如果验收结果成功，三星 SDI 将计划明年于马来西亚投资量产线。这是三星 SDI 第一次公开具体的 4680 圆柱电池计划。特斯拉的 4680 圆柱电池规格是直径 46mm，高 80mm。目前，三星 SDI 正在开发两个版本的 4680 电池。其中之一是按照特斯拉的规格，另一个则在高度上调整至 40-60mm。高度调整版的电池意在赢得宝马等车企客户。据 TheElec 报道，近日，三星电子副会长李在镕表示，他在欧洲出差时会见了宝马。4680 圆柱电池的大规模产线很可能投资于马来西亚的芙蓉工厂，三星 SDI 意图将其作为新型圆柱电池的前沿基地。目前，量产的目标产能约为 8-12GWh，高度调整版的电池预计产能则在 5GWh 左右。4680 电池的其他供应商也各有进展。今年 6 月，LG 新能源（LGEnergySolution）宣布将投资 5800 亿韩元用于设立 4680 电池产线，年产能 9GWh，该产线预计将于 2023 年下半年投产。
