1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,720
well I'm here in the Big Apple for the New York International Auto Show not my

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,639
traditional scene but given how determined cars seem to be to become

3
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:18,760
rolling computers on Wheels with Ford even going as far as to Rebrand

4
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:20,720
themselves as a technology company it

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,760
shouldn't come as any surprise that there is a lot to see here so let's have

6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:30,039
a look at some of the top Tech Trends here at the auto show

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,800
tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the internet

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:49,039
as though you're in one of 20 different countries try it for free at the link in

9
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:53,640
the video description first up is phone integration and I mean the real deal not

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,760
just a Bluetooth chipset and a microphone somewhere integrated Chi

11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,519
wireless charging pads were on display in the Toyota Prius Prime and Hyundai

12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,159
ionic with Honda offering upgrade accessories to enable this functionality

13
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:14,240
on key models and Volvo evaluating it moving into the future and Android auto

14
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,759
and carplay were either big selling

15
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,479
points or quietly swept under the rug

16
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:26,040
depending on who you talked to Against The Tide BMW and Toyota remain committed

17
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,520
at least for now to their in-house developed connected drive and end tune

18
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:37,560
infotainment systems while Hyundai Volkswagen Ford Chevy

19
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:41,040
Honda and Audi have already embraced

20
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:44,119
both on models like the ionic volt and

21
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,280
the new A4 with Volvo lagging only

22
00:01:44,119 --> 00:01:53,680
slightly behind with carplay support available now and Android auto coming

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,039
later on the S90 T8 most brands Ford

24
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,159
Chevy Audi actually pretty much you name it were showing off evolutionary

25
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,920
improvements to their phone apps to the point where there's a base functionality

26
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:11,440
set that pretty much everyone's got your remote lock and unlock your geolocation

27
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:17,160
your car status updates maintenance reminders battery level indicators but

28
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:21,280
there's still Innovation here Volvo's phone as a key fob functionality stood

29
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:26,640
out to us as pretty cool because it allows your Bluetooth enabled phone to

30
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,920
literally act as the key to your car and

31
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:35,080
not only that but it allows you to share it with anyone else a friend or a family

32
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,440
member who has the Volvo app installed

33
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:44,360
Trend number two has got to be fuel economy BMW had three plug-in hybrids on

34
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:47,200
display including the 740e X Drive I

35
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:52,239
performance with 14 miles of pure EV range and a 53 MPG equivalent rating

36
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:58,080
which is pretty good if you factor in the fun to drivenness of it but not

37
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:01,239
nearly as amazing as the new Chevy Volt

38
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,200
which boasts an incredible f 53 M of

39
00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:09,319
full electric range with an additional 367 handled by the gas engine if you run

40
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,319
out of juice not to mention that their bolt electric vehicle boasts over 200 M

41
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,640
of range at a price point under 30,000

42
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:23,000
us assuming full leverage of the available federal tax credits damn not

43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,200
to be ignored though Toyota launched the Prius Prime plug-in hybrid whose EV

44
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:32,720
range of 22 Mi isn't as impressive but

45
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:37,159
whose 80 2 4 mph pure electric top speed

46
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,599
600 M total range and 120 MPG

47
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:42,720
equivalency rating may make up for it

48
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:47,000
Honda having been working on fuel sell for decades finally has something real

49
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:52,720
to show for it with the clarity fuel cell launching this year in select

50
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:58,840
markets if you can find a refueling station Honda claims that it fuels up in

51
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,720
3 minutes and makes none of the weight

52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:06,760
cargo space or performance compromises of other zero emissions Vehicles other

53
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,799
notable displays were Hyundai's three discrete models of the ionic a full

54
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:16,759
electric a plug-in hybrid and a regular hybrid taking aim squarely at Toyota's

55
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,840
Prius lineup and Volvo's S9 T8 plug-in

56
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:23,160
hybrid both of which hide their batteries either under the rear seats or

57
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,800
between the front seats for a lower center of gravity and improvements to

58
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Cargo space as well as interior room oh

59
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:39,880
and Volvo also had a seven-seater plug-in hybrid SUV boasting 14 M of pure

60
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:43,560
electric range with another 350 on gas

61
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Trend number three is cameras

62
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:52,039
everywhere everyone is getting geared up for mandatory rear cameras next year and

63
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:57,759
some folks are taking it a step further Ford showed off optional dual 180° fish

64
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:03,840
eyes in the front and back with cleaning nozzles for the Explorer great for

65
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,039
backing out of parking stalls but man

66
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,880
now you got to have like a bird's eyee View Camera stitching feature like

67
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:14,320
Chevy's bolt and volt and Volvo's S90 T8

68
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:20,960
or step up your game even further if you want to impress us BMW was showing off a

69
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,759
fancier 3D model bird's eye view that lets you rotate the car and view the

70
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:30,000
space around it and their active Comfort Drive which uses the forward-facing

71
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:35,840
camera to analyze the road ahead and pre- adjust your suspension Audi allows

72
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:40,360
easy toggling between normal and fisheye views on their forward and rear cameras

73
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,680
with bird's eye as an added bonus on the A4 that we saw with night vision assist

74
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:51,160
thermal cameras available on the Q7 which is not to say that tactically

75
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:56,560
placed cameras aren't great for more than just parking Honda's Lane watch

76
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,680
camera on the clarity fuel cell shows the passenger side blind spot in the

77
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:06,880
center 8in touchreen screen whenever you signal right Nifty which I guess ties in

78
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:11,720
really closely to Trend number four active safety and assisted driving

79
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:17,599
features both of which are just exploding right now Lane keeping assist

80
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,639
varying degrees of parking assistance Ford by the way is boasting assistance

81
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:24,919
for parking and pulling out adaptive

82
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,599
cruise control with radar and pre-charging the brakes in dangerous

83
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,039
situations are everywhere but the devil

84
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:38,759
is in the details here and automakers have quite different approaches to some

85
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,800
of this technology BMW's ability to

86
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:45,039
automatically navigate stop and go traffic stops working if you take your

87
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,479
hand off the wheel for longer than 10 seconds Ford for example will merely

88
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:56,199
pre-charge the brakes when detecting an obstruction while Chevy will slam the

89
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,000
brakes for you below 50 mph hoping to

90
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:06,560
avoid or reduce the severity of a crash Audi and BMW's systems will Auto break

91
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,720
below about 25 mph Honda didn't specify

92
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:14,680
and Volvo's approach is the only one that specifically advertises the ability

93
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:17,160
to detect bicycles and this is new large

94
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:22,080
animals like moose in addition to pedestrians and other vehicles so

95
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:26,879
depending on whether you want a vibrating steering wheel an audible

96
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:31,000
alert a heads up display flashing notification or the car to rent control

97
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,960
control from you in the event of a problem you will need to pick not only

98
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:41,800
the make but also the model of your next car very carefully the last couple of

99
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:47,039
mentions here didn't fall neatly into a category but BMW's gesture control

100
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,720
allows volume adjustments call acceptance and rejection as well as

101
00:07:49,479 --> 00:07:56,360
manipulating the 3D view of the car by detecting hand waves with a motion and

102
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,879
heat sensitive roof mounted camera we thought that was pretty cool and the

103
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:06,800
Prius Prime probably isn't the last car that we've seen with a massive Inc

104
00:08:04,039 --> 00:08:12,680
console touchcreen with its 11.6 in 1080P Affair almost entirely replacing

105
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:17,199
tactile buttons whether For Better or For Worse

106
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,919
tingling what's that sound must be time to tell you guys about Ting the mobile

107
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:27,479
carrier that makes sense they charge you only for the voice and data that you use

108
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:32,880
and the average Ting bill is only 24 bucks a month but hold on a second lus

109
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:40,959
how would I know if I would get charged $24 or $42 or $80 billion well all you

110
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:44,920
got to do is head over to lin.com and try out their savings calculator the

111
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:49,680
savings calculator lets you input your last view bills and then it spits out

112
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:55,360
how much you would have paid for the air time that you used if you were on Ting

113
00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:00,200
sounds pretty cool right but wait there's more Ting will actually cover

114
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:06,800
25% up to 75 of your cancellation fee if you bail on

115
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,360
your existing contract and if you use

116
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:14,760
our link that's lin.com you can actually get 25 bucks towards your bill or a

117
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:19,480
device credit so head on over there try the savings calculator it costs nothing

118
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,760
until you sign up then it costs something but probably less so thanks
