Self-driving BMW

BMW is finally here to announce their first and awesome ConnectedDrive Connect (CDC) semi-autonomous driving system that ensures perfect and easy self-driving of this or that car.

Self-driving BMW

The system uses four types of sensors, radar, cameras, laser scanners and ultrasound distance sensors, to stay aware of the car’s surroundings and you can easily and safely merge at speeds up to 130 km/h (81 mph).

Although we have already seen tons of concepts for self-driving cars, but the one from BMW looks very impressive and reliable.

I love the fact that BMW wanted the car to look as much like a normal 5 Series as possible. They say the system could be available in production cars within 10 to 15 years.

How do you like the idea?

The Advantages of Automatic Transmissions

It's so true. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) operates smoothly with no jerking and having more speeds these days (6 as opposed to 3-5) means better gas mileage, too.
