Global Automotive Digital Cockpit Market Set For 10.7% Growth, Reaching $39.85 Billion By 2028

OTTAWA - Peter Anholt tried to keep things light as he emerged from one of the elevators at Canada’s hotel. The temperature had been turned way up on the veteran hockey executive and the country’s under-20 program after a stunning upset some 12 hours earlier. “You only want to talk to me when things are bad, eh?” Anholt joked to reporters Saturday morning. “Is that how this works?” That is indeed what happens when a powerhouse with a record 20 gold medals expected to roll over an opponent suffers one of its worst all-time defeats at the tournament. Canada was embarrassed on home soil 3-2 by Latvia — a country it had thumped by a combined 41-4 score across four previous meetings — in a shocking shootout Friday. Coming off a disastrous fifth-place finish last year in Sweden and having talked a lot about upping their compete level and preparation, the Canadians looked disjointed for long stretches against the plucky, hard-working Latvians. The power play finally clicked late in the third period, but stands at 1-for-7 through two games, while the top line of Easton Cowan, Calum Ritchie and Bradly Nadeau has yet to translate its pre-tournament chemistry into success in the spotlight. “We’re certainly trying to problem solve, but not throw the baby out with the bath water,” said Anholt, who heads the world junior setup. “We’ve got to be really careful.” Canada, which picked up a solid 4-0 victory over Finland to open its tournament Thursday, had plenty of offensive zone time and directed 57 shots at Latvian goaltender Linards Feldbergs. Included in that total, however, were far too many one-and-done efforts from the perimeter with little traffic in front. There were, of course, desperate spurts — especially late in regulation and in 3-on-3 overtime — but not nearly enough for a roster peppered with first-round NHL draft picks and top prospects. “We played really, really hard,” Anholt said in defending his players. “We controlled the puck lots. We created some chances. Their goalie was really good and they defended really good ... 99 times out of 100 we win that game.” Hoping for a big response Sunday against Germany before meeting the United States on New Year’s Eve to tie a bow on round-robin action in Group A, Canada will have to push ahead minus one of its best players. Star defenceman Matthew Schaefer was injured Friday and is done for the tournament after he slammed into Latvia’s net and skated off favouring his left shoulder area. “Tough blow for the kid,” Anholt said. “The way he plays the game, he plays it at such a high speed.” Cowan, a Toronto Maple Leafs first-round selection, said Canada remains confident despite Friday’s ugly result in the nation’s capital. “We’re good,” said the 19-year-old from Mount Brydges, Ont. “Everyone’s lost a hockey game before.” But not like that — or to that opponent on that stage. “Bit of a (crappy) feeling,” said Nadeau, a Carolina Hurricanes prospect from St-Francois-de-Madawaska, N.B. “We all know what this group is capable of. Losing that game is not our standard. “We’ll bounce back.” Some corners of social media exploded following the Latvian debacle, with heavy criticism directed at head coach Dave Cameron and the team’s overall roster construction. “We’re not really worried about it,” defenceman and Ottawa native Oliver Book, who like Cowan is back from last year’s team, said of the outside noise. “We know we didn’t play well.” Canada appears poised to mix things up against the Germans. Vancouver Canucks prospect Sawyer Mynio of Kamloops, B.C., is set draw in for Schaefer, while Anholt indicated there’s a good chance forward Carson Rehkopf will get his first crack at the 2025 tournament as a returnee. The 19-year-old Seattle Kraken second-round pick from Vaughan, Ont., has scored a combined 78 goals over his last 97 regular-season and playoff games in the Ontario Hockey League. “Great player,” Cowan said. “He finds ways.” Anholt said taking a big-picture approach is key in challenging moments. “Let’s not panic,” he said. “The world hasn’t fallen in. It’s hard, but we’ll learn from it.” It’s something Canada will have to do under intense scrutiny. “People are gonna love you and people are gonna hate you,” said Cowan, who has a goal an assist through two games. “Gotta keep doing you.” Anholt, who was also at the helm 12 months ago when Canada never got in gear, isn’t getting 2024 vibes from this year’s group. “Not even in any way, shape or form,” he said. “We’ve just got to take care of business.” They get a first shot at redemption Sunday.

a reality as Floyd Mayweather and stood face-to-face in a memorable picture taken on July 12, 2017, by lauded combat photographer Esther Lin. The two fighters were at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto on the second stop of a world tour to promote their upcoming boxing match on Aug. 26, 2017. McGregor, dressed to the nines in a royal blue suit, his arm outstretched in Mayweather's face, beckoning him to bring it on. Mayweather, wearing black jeans, a black The Money Team T-shirt with a matching baseball cap -- and perhaps millions in jewelry -- pointing at his Irish opponent. A sea of fans stretched beyond what Lin's lens could capture. Plenty were there to see Mayweather, but many, if not more, were there to see McGregor. Irish flags and pro-McGregor signs were scattered throughout the crowd. While Mayweather had long been boxing's biggest cash cow, the realization that McGregor wasn't too far behind was crystallizing. McGregor matched Mayweather's wit on the microphone and left Toronto as the fan favorite. This moment solidified McGregor as one of the biggest attractions in combat sports and as a mainstream megastar. This wasn't just a fight but a global event that captured everyone's imagination. featuring two of the biggest superstars in combat sports devolved into a trash-talking, ego-measuring contest -- bringing out the worst in McGregor. Gone was the three-piece suit after the Toronto showdown, replaced with floral pants and a mink polar bear coat draped over his shirtless shoulders. What had been friendly, yet competitive banter transformed into racially insensitive and anti-gay verbal jabs. Mayweather was used to this kind of attention. McGregor -- four years removed from making a disclosed $24,000 for beating -- was entering new territory as a celebrity. "Conor was realizing that he was just as popular as Mayweather and he could have his audience," Lin, who has photographed McGregor and Mayweather in her career, told ESPN. "I don't know if he had it in him before that stop but he certainly embraced it during the tour and knew exactly how to ride that to the top." Just over a month later, Mayweather scored over McGregor. But the pain of losing was quickly remedied by the massive success of the event that earned McGregor a guaranteed purse of $30 million according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission -- which the Irishman suggested ballooned when including the pay-per-view, gate, sponsorship revenue and merchandise sales -- for less than 30 minutes of work. The estimated $55.5 million live gate registered as the second biggest in boxing history, while fell shy of the 4.6 million . The $130 million payday dwarfed McGregor's for his UFC lightweight championship win over Eddie Alvarez. UFC president Dana White knew that the Conor McGregor of old was long gone. "Conor might never fight again," White told reporters at UFC headquarters in November 2017. "The guy's got $100 f---ing million. I've got guys that made less than that and were lawyers and went to school their whole life and quit working ... try to get up every day and get punched in the face when you have $100 million in the bank. "Money changes everything." McGregor has chased the professional and monetary highs he reached nearly seven years ago since the night he walked out of the boxing ring against Mayweather. What's transpired since 2017 is just one UFC win and countless setbacks, including: arrests, injuries, lawsuits and multiple allegations of sexual assault. • : McGregor returns to the sport of MMA in support of SBG Ireland teammate Charlie Ward at Bellator 187 in Dublin. to celebrate Ward's win before the fight was over and was involved in a melee. • : Dana White announces his intentions to strip McGregor of his lightweight title . The plan is to award the title to the winner of the scheduled fight between and on April 7.

The dolly shattered a window, and the fragments injured , and . McGregor turned himself into the NYPD with three counts of assault and criminal mischief. White called the incident "the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company." , it was announced that McGregor would end his and challenge Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title at UFC 229 on Oct. 6, 2018. Although there had been concerns about McGregor's behavior, White, less than a year removed from McGregor's cash-grab match with Mayweather, now scoffed at the notion that McGregor's desire to be the best fighter in the world had softened. "I wouldn't say this is a crossroads fight [for McGregor] ... this is a very important fight for both fighters," White said. "In my opinion, and it's crazy to say this because of how popular he is around the world, he's one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC." Unlike his previous feuds with opponents, there was an obvious and distinct mutual hatred between McGregor and Nurmagomedov. But White didn't think that their vitriol would manifest into anything he would have to be concerned about. "I don't think we're going to have any problems with these guys," White said. He couldn't have been more wrong. By the time UFC 229 fight week began, the fight had grown into one of the most hostile rivalries in UFC history. McGregor's trash talk toward Nurmagomedov , including taunting Nurmagomedov's Muslim faith by offering him whiskey to drink at a pre-fight news conference and referring to Nurmagomedov's Egyptian manager as a "terrorist." The tension was thick at a pre-fight news conference where Nurmagomedov was unwilling to wait for McGregor, who was late. A pro-McGregor crowd only incensed Nurmagomedov, who answered inquiries about his opponent, the bus attack and reiterated that this was less about defending his title and more about defeating his opponent. "Honestly for me, this is more than defending my title. For me, it's more than fight for the title, more than main event. For me, it's personal. Honestly, for me it's personal," Nurmagomedov said. "Of course this is biggest fight in UFC history and we're going to break record numbers ... but for me it's personal." Nurmagomedov departed , but that didn't stop the Irishman from holding court for his fans, trashing the champion and making it clear that it was also personal. "There is way deeper s--- than just a fight on Saturday night," McGregor said. "I'm going to settle this the noble way for myself and then see what happens after that ... f--- peace. There will never be peace here. I always say you should aim for peace but if you can't aim for peace, aim between the eyes. I'm gonna to aim right between that man's eyes and this is never over. Never, ever, ever over." It was a precursor to one of the ugliest scenes to occur at a UFC event in the promotion's history. When the two finally met in the Octagon at UFC 229, Nurmagomedov took out his frustrations on McGregor and dominated him with his trademark wrestling before forcing the Irishman to tap out to a neck crank in the fourth round. Even though an emphatic statement was made regarding who the dominant fighter was, Nurmagomedov wasn't quite through with McGregor and his team. The Dagestan fighter turned his attention to Team McGregor and engaged in a verbal tirade and launching himself at McGregor's training partner, Dillon Danis. An ugly melee ensued with fights taking place outside and inside the Octagon. Three members of Team Nurmagomedov jumped into the Octagon to attack McGregor before the Las Vegas Metro police detained those involved in the incident. McGregor was fined $50,000 and from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his role in the brawl. Despite all of the ugliness, the event cemented McGregor as the UFC's biggest star as with an attendance of 20,034 fans for a live gate of $17.2 million -- the highest ever for an MMA event in Nevada -- while also netting a reported 2.4 million PPV buys, the largest for any MMA fight. However, the damage has been done to McGregor's aura as the best fighter in the world. And those closest to him had a front-row seat to witness McGregor's fall from grace. "He had a dream in his life to become something," McGregor trainer Colin Byrne said in the 2023 documentary "McGregor Forever." "He got to be the champion and then it came with all the other s---. That distraction, it pulls you, it pulls you, it pulls you away from what you wanted to be in the first place. "The Khabib fight was a kick in the hole and he deserved it. There's nothing nice about any of that. All that anger and the press conference and the incident after the fight. There are no winners in any of that, that's just all hate." • : for an undisclosed amount following UFC 223 bus attack, citing "serious personal, economic and other injury" and "severe emotional distress, mental trauma and/or bodily harm" in court papers filed to Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York. • : and charged with strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief after attacking a fan in Miami who attempted to take a picture of McGregor with a cell phone.

On Nov. 28, 2019, the UFC announced that to the Octagon at UFC 246 on Jan. 18 for a welterweight fight against Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, ending a 15-month hiatus since losing to Nurmagomedov. "Conor wants to fight three times this year," . "He's hoping he can turn right around and fight Khabib, but that timing isn't going to work out. But Conor thinks the way Conor thinks. He's thinking, 'I'll fight Cowboy, I'll beat Cowboy and I'll be ready to fight Khabib at 155 pounds. "Conor is in line next [for Khabib Nurmagomedov] if he beats Cowboy." Fans and fighters questioned how McGregor could be in line for a rematch with Nurmagomedov if he had previously fought at welterweight. White cited the first fight between McGregor and Nurmagomedov, and what the Irish fighter had done for the sport as the reason he would leapfrog other potential opponents. McGregor is also reportedly targeted for a fight with then-BMF champion Jorge Masvidal at welterweight for the BMF title if he could not land the Nurmagomedov fight. The buildup to the fight contrasts his fights with Nurmagomedov and Mayweather, as McGregor is civil and complimentary of his opponent. "For me, this is the right way to go about a fight," McGregor said in an interview with ESPN. During fight week, McGregor continued to be complimentary of his opponent. "As time has gone on, he's become a family man and you guys have seen him compete so many times," McGregor said at the pre-fight news conference. "It's hard not to respect Donald right now, at this stage. He has my respect. Although there will be blood spilled on January 18, it will not be bad blood." Even without the vitriolic rivalry heading into the fight, McGregor put together one of his finest performances and . It's his last win in the Octagon to date. McGregor doesn't target a specific opponent in the post-fight interview, but White is keen to make a fight with the winner of the lightweight title bout between Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. "After tonight, and with how Khabib won the first time and how famous Khabib has become after that first fight, we're looking at Hagler vs. Hearns, Ali vs. Foreman, Ali vs. Frazier," White said after the fight. "This is a massive fight with global appeal, it's the fight to make, it's the fight that makes sense." Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic would alter any plans the UFC and the fight world may have had. On March 16, 2020, Dana White announced that the UFC will due to the COVID-19 pandemic. McGregor is on lockdown in Ireland and his coach, John Kavanagh, said an April return for the former two-division champion won't happen. McGregor's future is up in the air. And with nothing but idle time on his hands, he's forced to wait until the world sorts itself out. The world, specifically White, sorts out a rematch fight between McGregor and . The two fought previously at UFC 178 in 2014, resulting in a r. Once again, McGregor's tone is uplifting to his opponent. "After that loss many, many years ago he rose up and became a champion," McGregor said at the UFC 257 pre-fight news conference. "He's given so much back and I'm honored to share the Octagon with this man. I know we have this competitive fire and it's still there ... it's going to be a firework-filled bout, but the respect is admirable for this man from me." It was also announced that McGregor had agreed to donate to Poirier's "The Good Fight Foundation" charity. The Irishman also reiterated his desire to compete. "I feel like I'm only starting," McGregor said at the UFC 257 pre-fight news conference. "Everyone says 'Hey Conor, you've done it all. You're so rich. What are you doing here?' Am I not allowed here? I want to be here and perform for the fans. ...All the money, all the belts, that comes and goes. Do you know what lives on? Highlights." But the highlight of this night belonged to Poirier, as he avenged his loss by in the second round. McGregor blamed the inactivity for the loss, as it was only his second fight since 2018. • : . Although the UFC has managed to get back to work putting on events -- albeit without fans -- there is no clarity on when McGregor will return to action. • : on the French island of Corsica on suspicion of sexual assault and indecent exposure for an alleged incident at a bar. He is released without charge two days later. loss to Poirier, critics questioned whether this new, kinder version of McGregor lost the desire to compete at the highest level. People wanted the old McGregor back. "Most people fight to get out of the financial burdens that they are going through," McGregor's striking coach, Owen Roddy, said in the "McGregor Forever" documentary. "Conor has done that. Most normal people would be like, 'I've made all my money and there's no real need to fight again. But I think the difference with Conor is that he wants to prove it more so to himself that he's the baddest man on the planet." For better or worse, the old Conor McGregor was back. On April 2, 2021, a rubber match between McGregor and Poirier on July 10. While the previous meeting saw a cordial build between the two combatants, the leadup to the trilogy bout was anything but. The donation from McGregor to Poirier's nonprofit was never received and led to a verbal jousting that took a turn for the worse heading into the grudge match. McGregor hearkened back to the buildups before the Mayweather and Nurmagomedov fights and hurled insults at Poirier and his wife, even threatening to pull out of the fight. But that anger and trash talk had little effect on Poirier. McGregor found himself on the wrong side of Poirier's ground-and-pound early in an opening round that appeared to be a continuation of their previous fight. Once the fight got back to the feet with seconds left in the round, McGregor took an ill-fated step backward and collapsed to the canvas. His lower left leg twisted under his weight . The fight was stopped and Poirier was awarded the win via TKO due to a doctor stoppage. Considering that Poirier was in control until the end, many believed that McGregor's best years were behind him, as it was the first time he had lost consecutive fights in his lauded career. • : for his fractured tibia and fibula.

However, one particular fighter gets McGregor's attention: Michael Chandler.
