世界をリードする自動車メーカー8社が設立した充電ネットワークIONNAは、全米で稼働中の充電サイトが180を超え、2026年初頭からネットワーク規模が2倍以上に拡大したと発表した。この成長は、JDパワー2026年米国電気自動車体験公共充電調査のDC急速充電部門で首位を獲得したことと同時に実現したもので、IONNAにとって初めての対象年での受賞となった。同社によると、これは米国最大の400キロワット充電ネットワークであるという。今年初めにサークルKとの戦略的提携を発表して以来、IONNAはサークルKの充電拠点40カ所を稼働させ、IONNAの運営改善後、これらの拠点での利用は2倍になった。対応パートナーアプリは19に増え、Presto、ChargeHub、EV Connectとの新たな連携が加わった。また、プラグアンドチャージはボルボのドライバー向けに新たに有効化され、トヨタとレクサスのサポートは10月に予定されている。ヒュンダイとメルセデス・ベンツは、BMWとGMに加わり、自社アプリとプラグアンドチャージを通じて充電割引を提供している。IONNAはまた、Out of Specのカイル・コナー氏とState of Chargeのトム・モローニー氏が共同キャプテンを務めるドライバー諮問委員会を設立した。同委員会の最初の優先事項は、新たに開始されたドライバーズ・ダッシュボードに関するフィードバックを集めることである。「業界は充電の規模と充電の品質をトレードオフとして扱ってきた」とIONNAのCEO、セス・カトラー氏は述べた。「当社の成長と顧客満足度首位という結果は、ドライバーが両方を期待でき、また期待すべきであることを示している。」

トヨタ自動車が仮眠ツール「TOTONE」を手がける新規事業に乗り出した。開発を率いる金子敬氏が8月27日、大阪・うめきたのグラングリーン大阪で開かれた実証イベント「Power Nap Culture Lab 大阪」の先行メディアデーに登壇し、同事業の狙いを語った。TOTONEは高級ミニバン「アルファード」「ヴェルファイア」の上級シートをベースに、部品の大半を自動車用から転用した仮眠装置で、15分の仮眠を入眠12分と目覚め3分で構成する。同事業の体制は3〜4人で、数百人が関わる車両開発の数百分の1にあたり、生産能力も年200〜300台にとどまる。金子氏は「新規事業は新しいものなので、イノベーターぐらいしか買ってくれない」と説明し、投資も人手もあえて抑えていると述べた。トヨタの販売店に扱いを持ちかけたところ「自動車ではないものをなぜ売るのか」と断られたといい、月20台を安定して売れるようになるまでは自ら顧客を回る方針だ。導入先の一つ、全日本空輸では整備士が午前2時の整備点検の前に仮眠を取るようになった。トヨタは当日、全国の20〜50代会社員1038人を対象にした調査「お昼寝白書2026」を初公開し、勤務中に眠気を感じる人が85.9%に上る一方、日常的に仮眠を取る人は10.4%にとどまることが分かった。仮眠を取りづらい理由の1位は「サボっていると思われそう」で53.2%に達し、仮眠を取る際に気になることの1位も「周囲の目」で54.8%だった。

自動車安全システムの世界的リーダーであるAutolivは、新しいHuman Body Model Safety Suiteを通じて車両の安全性を向上させています。これは、物理的な衝突テストを補完するために設計された仮想テストプラットフォームであり、トヨタがその機能を評価する最初の顧客となりました。このプラットフォームは、高度なデジタル人体モデルと、分析および可視化のためのソフトウェアツールを組み合わせ、物理的なダミーでは提供できない乗員の反応や傷害メカニズムに関する洞察を提供します。Autolivの最高技術責任者であるFabien Dumont氏は、仮想テストによりエンジニアは開発プロセスの早い段階で安全性のパフォーマンスを最適化でき、同社の「より多くの命を救う」というビジョンを支援すると強調しました。トヨタは仮想安全開発活動の一環としてこのスイートの使用を開始しており、Autolivは2026年にこのプラットフォームを業界全体に広く提供する計画です。同社は2025年に108億ドルの売上高を報告し、25か国で64,000人を雇用しており、その製品は昨年約40,000人の命を救い、約600,000件の負傷を軽減したと述べています。
米自動車業界最大の業界団体である自動車イノベーション連合(Alliance for Automotive Innovation)は、米議会議員宛ての書簡を提出し、中国からのコネクテッドカー(コネクテッドカー)および関連ソフトウェア・ハードウェアの輸入を恒久的に禁止するよう求めた。国内の経済・安全保障上の利益へのリスクを理由に挙げている。連合の最高経営責任者ジョン・ボゼラ氏は書簡で、中国の自動車メーカーが政府補助金を受けた車両を世界中に投入し、インターネット接続用ソフトウェア・ハードウェアを搭載していると指摘し、今年の会期終了前に輸入禁止法を成立させるよう求めた。この要求は、比亜迪(BYD)や吉利(Geely)などの中国自動車メーカーによる脅威に対する懸念の高まりを反映している。同連合は、米国のゼネラル・モーターズや、トヨタ、フォルクスワーゲンなどの外国大手を含む自動車メーカーを代表している。この動きは、中国の低価格電気自動車が世界市場でシェアを拡大し、カナダやメキシコ市場にも浸透し始めている中で起きており、米自動車大手は中国車が近く米国市場を攻撃する可能性を懸念している。
