A BLOG ON AUDI LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS BY YASH SONI



AUDI MATRIX LED TECHNOLOGY

In this mode it ensures bright homogenous road illumination. Split into numerous individual light emitting diodes, the system dims light shining directly on oncoming and preceding vehicles, whilst casting full light on zones between and beside them.

With added functions to provide even greater safety, the Audi Matrix LED headlights double up as a cornering light. Using predictive route data supplied by the MMI Navigation Plus the beams shift towards the bend before the driver turns the steering wheel.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

The Audi Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system regulates your car's speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. For use on vehicles with an S tronic gearbox, ACC ‘stop and go’ uses radar sensors to detect objects ahead. This can be up to 250 meters (820.21 ft) away from the car. The driver can adjust this distance and the control dynamics in multiple levels.

In stop-and-go traffic, the system can bring the car to a complete stop. After a brief stop, like at a traffic light, it automatically drives off, following the vehicle ahead. After longer stops, the driver simply has to tap the accelerator pedal or briefly activate the control stalk to resume driving.

SIDE ASSIST 

The lane change assistant Audi side assist aids the driver when changing lane.With its radar sensors in the rear bumper, the system monitors traffic in the driver’s blind spot. When a vehicle approaches from behind, the LED warning signal lights up.The area beside and behind the vehicle is monitored by radar sensors at speeds above 30 km/h. When there is a vehicle in the blind spot or a vehicle is approaching rapidly from behind, the LED signal in the respective exterior mirror is continuously illuminated as a warning to the driver.If the turn signal is operated in this situation, the lights in the exterior mirror flash to alert the driver to the danger of a collision. Audi side assist does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and the driver may deactivate it at any time by pressing a button on the driver door.

PARKING ASSIST 


Park assist takes over the steering when backing into detected parking spaces, either parallel or perpendicular to the road. The system finds parking spaces using ultrasound and when they detect a space of sufficient size, a message appears in the instrument display.

The driver then simply puts the car in reverse and the park assist system steers while the driver only has to accelerate, shift gears and brake.

VIRTUAL COCKPIT


The Audi virtual cockpit is Located directly behind the steering wheel and is operated via the MMI touch button, voice control and the multifunctional steering wheel. The 1440 x 540 pixel, 12.3-inch digital screen shows information directly in front of the driver.

Setting new standards, the display can be switched between 'classic', with prominent speedometer and rev counter, or infotainment, bringing navigation map or media functions to the fore. The TTS models feature a third screen, showcasing a rev counter in the centre of the virtual cockpit.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Our first full-colour head-up display recreates the display philosophy of the MMI - with a brilliance that ensures effortless reading even in direct sunlight.

Playing a vital role in the case of an emergency, the head-up display also shortens accommodation time - the time it takes the human eye to refocus from object in the distance to one close up.

Additionally, the head-up windshield display reduces the angle of the drivers head tilt by around five degrees when reading the instrument display.

AUDI PHONEBOX

The Audi phonebox allows drivers to use their mobile phone in the car by placing it in the storage compartment provided in the centre console. A wireless connection is created to the vehicle's roof-mounted aerial via the integrated connector in the storage compartment.

This helps to boost the phone's mobile signal, as well as reducing transmission power. The phone can be charged via a USB port and operated via the MMI control panel, the multi-function steering wheel or voice control.

SWEEPING INDICATORS 

Sweeping indicators use smart technology, found in both headlights and taillights, to improve the functionality of turn indicators by sending clearer signals than conventional turn signals.

They’re implemented on each side by a band of 30 LEDs, with seven segments sequentially activated every 150 milliseconds. As turn signal flashers, they illuminate on the same side as the direction that the driver intends to turn.
