It seems we are getting closer and closer to that sci-fi cartoon where the cars can drive themselves. The latest innovation in safety and driver aid is the Emergency Steer Assist system. You may be familiar with Brake Assist. Well Khris Middleton Bucks Jersey , this is a system designed to work with emergency braking systems, or actually as a back-up. Any Audi dealer, Leesburg customer Giannis Antetokounmpo Bucks Jersey , or auto enthusiast will be impressed with this new technology.
With these systems, calculations are made as to how much brake is needed to avoid a collision and how much distance is required. If that cannot be achieved, enter Steering Assist. The system works by varying the torque directionally Jabari Parker Bucks Jersey , nudging the driver toward the proper steering direction. If the car needs to swerve to the right the steering resistance increases in the opposite direction, making it very easy for the driver to turn the wheel in the direction needed.Rather than sending signals to the driver, which could get to be extremely overwhelming with all these emergency systems Eric Bledsoe Bucks Jersey , the feedback goes directly to the system and is relayed to the driver via a haptic system, meaning it gives information to the muscles. The driver still has control over the steering but has a boost.
No, it doesn’t mean you have wires hooked up to your temples and biceps Khris Middleton Womens Jersey , but the gas pedal or the steering wheel can give pulses or provide resistance to guide your muscles as you carry out the necessary function. Your Chantilly VA used car dealer believes customers will appreciate seeing these systems on Audi cars in the future.
This system comes from Continental and because it is Android-based it can have different applications by different developers. The company continues to work on reducing driver distraction and one system on the board is text-dictation software – just one more way for drivers to communicate without taking their eyes off the road.Other exciting systems being tested include a tire sensor to measure temperature, pressure, temperature Giannis Antetokounmpo Womens Jersey , load and g-force. The sensors can detect and heavy load and give an alert if more pressure is needed, which also saves fuel and increases safety.
Customers of any Audi dealer, Leesburg drivers Jabari Parker Womens Jersey , and auto enthusiasts will also appreciate that the system can sense wear on the tires and when summer or snow tires should be used. When you go to air up your tires the information will not only be shown on a car display, but can be transmitted to your iPod to alert you when to stop filling. The car also will honk when the correct pressure is reached. So much for keeping track of the tiny little pressure gauge!
You Chantilly VA used car dealer likes that an LCD interface is Continental’s solution to offering customized profiles to drivers through several different modes, including Eco Eric Bledsoe Womens Jersey , Comfort and Sport. With all the systems being linked, it only takes one push of a button or click of a dial to get feedback on the entire bunch.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. government said Monday that it will release in the coming weeks a set of principles for securing the Internet of Things, or Internet-connected devices, which were employed partly by hackers to carry out Friday's cyberattacks that disrupted major U.S. websites.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said Monday his department is "closely monitoring" events arising from the distributed denial of service attacks on a domain name services company called Dyn on Friday, which caused major services such as Twitter, Paypal and some other U.S. websites to be inaccessible for about two hours for many users, especially those on the U.S. East Coast.
According to Johnson, his department has convened a conference call of about 18 major communication service providers to share information about the incident later that day.
"At this time, we believe the attack has been mitigated," Johnson said in a statement. "We have shared relevant information with our partners."
Johnson said this incident was partly carried out by a malware called Mirai that compromises Internet of Things devices, such as surveillance cameras and entertainment systems connected to the Internet.
He said the department's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center is working with law enforcement, the private sector and the research community to develop ways to mitigate against this and other related malware.
"The Department has also been working to develop a set of strategic principles for securing the Internet of Things, which we plan to release in the coming weeks," he added.
In a statement released Saturday, Dyn called Friday's incident "a sophisticated, highly distributed attack involving tens of millions of IP addresses."
"The nature and source of the attack is under investigation, but it was a sophisticated attack across multiple attack vectors and internet locations," the company said, confirming that one source of the traffic for the attacks were devices infected by the Mirai botnet.
"We observed tens of millions of discrete IP addresses associated with the Mirai botnet that were part of the attack," it said.
Mirai is a malware that primarily targets the Internet of Things devices such as remote cameras and home routers, turning them into remotely controlled botnets that can be used in large-scale network attacks, like the one on Friday. Its source code has recently been published in hacker forums as open-source.
