Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Nissan Won Best Concept Car of NAIAS 2013

Introducing the Resonance.

Nissan said, “The designers imagined what the future of first-class space travel might be.”

See how the instrument panel looks like it’s floating?

Read more about it at Autonet.ca.

The rumour is this is the next-generation Murano.

It’s tough to tell from the photos, but that’s gold carbon fibre, on the rims, grill.

Many car companies introduce such concepts, but then they never actually make it to production. Nissan has a good reputation for actually producing their concept vehicles.

See what’s missing?  Sideview mirrors.  Those are cameras!

Congratulations on your big win, Nissan!

 

Infiniti Qs Up

Rows of chairs facing a curtain, what’s happening?

BOOM Cirque de Soleil is happening.

Introducing the all-new Infiniti Q50.

The Q is Infiniti’s new nomenclature.  I wrote about it on Autonet.ca.

I wish I had come up with the above title when I wrote it.

The Q50 replaces the G37.  Goes on sale this summer.

This car has 2 world’s-first technologies:

Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering – the driver’s intentions are communicated to the wheels faster than a mechanical system

(I want to try this so bad, how does it know my intentions? Maybe my beloved thought controlled computing?)

Active Lane Control – a camera keeps an eye on the lane markers, and adjusts to keep you inside them

At the show, the Infiniti booth had a good energy, like they’re poised and ready.  Not all booths had a success scent. They grew 22% last year, I bet they beat that this year.
