[UK] Cool car tech

[Zilla91]

Thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could post videos and articles about cool car tech that’s out there.

Please try to appreciate the tech rather than trying to point score or side track the topic

I’ll start with this parking recorder feature

I’ve posted this elsewhere but I still find it to be pretty cool

Something that Tesla could - or should definitely implement to allow for a birds eye parking view is camera memory to infill missing visuals. It's probably best implemented in Land Rovers for off-road use where their forward facing cameras can show a transparent vehicle to allow the driver to see underneath the car.

Vauxhall have implemented it even further in their cars to fill in blindspots where they (Tesla, hold my beer) don't have any front or side facing cameras;

Birds Eye would be useful. Even our Peugeot eRifter has this and infills from what it sees in the front and rear cameras.
It’s clearly possible and of course Tesla’s have greater camera coverage.

Hopefully, we have that relaxation to look forward to

can we add that Capacity Sensitive steering wheel of BMW?

You do not need to apply the stupid torque on the steering wheel as steering wheel has capacitive sensors on the steering wheel and senses when steering wheel is touched. Much better concept that the torque, as well as it is ACTUALLY EASIER to maintain contact with steering wheel as well as HARDER to bypass with weights.

More handsfree driving

Love this - and in general Audi matrix and dynamic lights.

Those turn signals are great except they seem to have replaced the standard ones, so other cars can't see them.

Steer by wire. The yoke now makes sense

 

[Regulo]

Nothing new then.

This looks good. Coming soon apparently.

Just annoyed that it says non-USS only. Same for Vision Park Assist.
There are no diffs in the onboard tech in the car so I would welcome it for cars with USS, it just takes a bit more of sensor fusion, where the car should abort on USS detecting an object (wouldn't be a bad thing for a failsafe actually).
