Catch up on the latest Audi tech news from DCH Millburn Audi
As a luxury automaker, Audi takes technology seriously. At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014, Audi showcased some significant new developments coming your way in 2014 and beyond. DCH Millburn Audi has the roundup of what you can expect.
The Audi Sport Quattro Laserlight concept made a dynamic appearance at the show, featuring an array of technologies including a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, innovative cabin layout, and laser headlights. This isn’t likely to be slated for production, but it does highlight new features which could make their way to an Audi near you. At DCH Millburn Audi, we especially like the laser diode high-beams (which Audi saws throw light two times as far and three times as brightly as LEDs) and the 700-horsepower hybrid powertrain.
On the opening day of CES 2014, Audi was also one of the automakers announced in a new partnership with Google to bring the Android operating system to vehicles. The group is called the Open Auto Alliance and will work to expand the vision of what connected car technology can become. “We have been in contact with government agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),” the OAA said in a statement. “Our goal is to build an experience that helps drivers get what they’re looking for without disrupting their focus on the road.”
In addition, Audi demonstrated the latest generation of its Audi MMI® system. New intelligent input methods and an advanced “multi-touch” concept with tactile feedback represent an evolution in in-vehicle convenience.
