WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.639 traditional scene but given how determined cars seem to be to become 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:18.760 rolling computers on Wheels with Ford even going as far as to Rebrand 00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:20.720 themselves as a technology company it 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 00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:30.039 a look at some of the top Tech Trends here at the auto show 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.800 tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the internet 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 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:53.640 the video description first up is phone integration and I mean the real deal not 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.760 just a Bluetooth chipset and a microphone somewhere integrated Chi 00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.519 wireless charging pads were on display in the Toyota Prius Prime and Hyundai 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.159 ionic with Honda offering upgrade accessories to enable this functionality 00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:14.240 on key models and Volvo evaluating it moving into the future and Android auto 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.759 and carplay were either big selling 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.479 points or quietly swept under the rug 00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:26.040 depending on who you talked to Against The Tide BMW and Toyota remain committed 00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:30.520 at least for now to their in-house developed connected drive and end tune 00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:37.560 infotainment systems while Hyundai Volkswagen Ford Chevy 00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.040 Honda and Audi have already embraced 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:44.119 both on models like the ionic volt and 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.280 the new A4 with Volvo lagging only 00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:53.680 slightly behind with carplay support available now and Android auto coming 00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:56.039 later on the S90 T8 most brands Ford 00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:00.159 Chevy Audi actually pretty much you name it were showing off evolutionary 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:05.920 improvements to their phone apps to the point where there's a base functionality 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:11.440 set that pretty much everyone's got your remote lock and unlock your geolocation 00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:17.160 your car status updates maintenance reminders battery level indicators but 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.280 there's still Innovation here Volvo's phone as a key fob functionality stood 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:26.640 out to us as pretty cool because it allows your Bluetooth enabled phone to 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.920 literally act as the key to your car and 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 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.440 member who has the Volvo app installed 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:44.360 Trend number two has got to be fuel economy BMW had three plug-in hybrids on 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:47.200 display including the 740e X Drive I 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:52.239 performance with 14 miles of pure EV range and a 53 MPG equivalent rating 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:58.080 which is pretty good if you factor in the fun to drivenness of it but not 00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:01.239 nearly as amazing as the new Chevy Volt 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.200 which boasts an incredible f 53 M of 00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:09.319 full electric range with an additional 367 handled by the gas engine if you run 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:15.319 out of juice not to mention that their bolt electric vehicle boasts over 200 M 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:17.640 of range at a price point under 30,000 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:23.000 us assuming full leverage of the available federal tax credits damn not 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:29.200 to be ignored though Toyota launched the Prius Prime plug-in hybrid whose EV 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:32.720 range of 22 Mi isn't as impressive but 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:37.159 whose 80 2 4 mph pure electric top speed 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.599 600 M total range and 120 MPG 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.720 equivalency rating may make up for it 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:47.000 Honda having been working on fuel sell for decades finally has something real 00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:52.720 to show for it with the clarity fuel cell launching this year in select 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:58.840 markets if you can find a refueling station Honda claims that it fuels up in 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.720 3 minutes and makes none of the weight 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:06.760 cargo space or performance compromises of other zero emissions Vehicles other 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.799 notable displays were Hyundai's three discrete models of the ionic a full 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:16.759 electric a plug-in hybrid and a regular hybrid taking aim squarely at Toyota's 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.840 Prius lineup and Volvo's S9 T8 plug-in 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:23.160 hybrid both of which hide their batteries either under the rear seats or 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:28.800 between the front seats for a lower center of gravity and improvements to 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.960 Cargo space as well as interior room oh 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:39.880 and Volvo also had a seven-seater plug-in hybrid SUV boasting 14 M of pure 00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:43.560 electric range with another 350 on gas 00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:46.120 Trend number three is cameras 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:52.039 everywhere everyone is getting geared up for mandatory rear cameras next year and 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:57.759 some folks are taking it a step further Ford showed off optional dual 180° fish 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:03.840 eyes in the front and back with cleaning nozzles for the Explorer great for 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.039 backing out of parking stalls but man 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:11.880 now you got to have like a bird's eyee View Camera stitching feature like 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:14.320 Chevy's bolt and volt and Volvo's S90 T8 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 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:25.759 fancier 3D model bird's eye view that lets you rotate the car and view the 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:30.000 space around it and their active Comfort Drive which uses the forward-facing 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:35.840 camera to analyze the road ahead and pre- adjust your suspension Audi allows 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:40.360 easy toggling between normal and fisheye views on their forward and rear cameras 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 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:51.160 thermal cameras available on the Q7 which is not to say that tactically 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:56.560 placed cameras aren't great for more than just parking Honda's Lane watch 00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:00.680 camera on the clarity fuel cell shows the passenger side blind spot in the 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:06.880 center 8in touchreen screen whenever you signal right Nifty which I guess ties in 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:11.720 really closely to Trend number four active safety and assisted driving 00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:17.599 features both of which are just exploding right now Lane keeping assist 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:22.639 varying degrees of parking assistance Ford by the way is boasting assistance 00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:24.919 for parking and pulling out adaptive 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:30.599 cruise control with radar and pre-charging the brakes in dangerous 00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:33.039 situations are everywhere but the devil 00:06:30.599 --> 00:06:38.759 is in the details here and automakers have quite different approaches to some 00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:40.800 of this technology BMW's ability to 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:45.039 automatically navigate stop and go traffic stops working if you take your 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:50.479 hand off the wheel for longer than 10 seconds Ford for example will merely 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:56.199 pre-charge the brakes when detecting an obstruction while Chevy will slam the 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.000 brakes for you below 50 mph hoping to 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:06.560 avoid or reduce the severity of a crash Audi and BMW's systems will Auto break 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.720 below about 25 mph Honda didn't specify 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:14.680 and Volvo's approach is the only one that specifically advertises the ability 00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:17.160 to detect bicycles and this is new large 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:22.080 animals like moose in addition to pedestrians and other vehicles so 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:26.879 depending on whether you want a vibrating steering wheel an audible 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:31.000 alert a heads up display flashing notification or the car to rent control 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:35.960 control from you in the event of a problem you will need to pick not only 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:41.800 the make but also the model of your next car very carefully the last couple of 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:47.039 mentions here didn't fall neatly into a category but BMW's gesture control 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.720 allows volume adjustments call acceptance and rejection as well as 00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:56.360 manipulating the 3D view of the car by detecting hand waves with a motion and 00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:00.879 heat sensitive roof mounted camera we thought that was pretty cool and the 00:07:58.039 --> 00:08:06.800 Prius Prime probably isn't the last car that we've seen with a massive Inc 00:08:04.039 --> 00:08:12.680 console touchcreen with its 11.6 in 1080P Affair almost entirely replacing 00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:17.199 tactile buttons whether For Better or For Worse 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:21.919 tingling what's that sound must be time to tell you guys about Ting the mobile
