    Tesla’s autopilot involving four different feedback modules: camera, radar, ultrasonics, and GPS. They mutually reinforce each other and at the same time offer realtime data feedback from the Tesla fleet. Why is this necessary? Simply because it ensures that the system is continually learning and improving upon itself.

    The autopilot allows Model S these several action: to steer within a lane, to change lanes with the simple tap of a turn signal, and to manage speed by using active and traffic-aware cruise control. The motors, brakes, and steering are digitally controlled, thus helping the car avoid collisions from the front and sides, and wandering off the road.

    In addition, all features in Version 7.0 allow scanning for parking spaces and alerting in case there is available one. Parallel parking happens on command.

  • ABT Sportsline Celebrates 40 Years of Volkswagen Polo

    2015 ABT Volkswagen Polo Side ViewABT Volkswagen Polo is here to show us the perfect way to celebrate famous tiny car’s 40 years on the automotive market. It is almost unbelievable that so much time has passed since this model was first introduced. But one of the best ways to celebrate the anniversary is to make a more powerful and better looking variant of the latest edition of the Polo. At least, this is ABT Sportsline’s opinion on the matter.

    The New Generation

    New Generation is actually the name of the performance upgrades, based upon a specially developed control unit and created by the tuner. They allow the Polo V to pump out more than 230 hp (169 kW) from its 1.8 TSI engine. Just for a comparison, the serial number of the drivetrain is 192 hp (141 kW).

    SEE ALSO: ABT Audi AS6 Gets More Power and Attitude 

    Furthermore, ABT specialists also wanted to achieve the best possible cornering characteristics, therefore they have installed the best sport-type springs, and lowered the front axle by 25mm and the rear by 30mm.

    2015 ABT Volkswagen Polo Rear View

    Next thing was to substitute the original 13-inch wheels with in-house made 18-inch ER-C fitted with 215/35 R18 tyres. In addition, the Polo was also decorated with a carbon-look rear attachment above the third braking light and the cool rear skirt set, exhaust system with its two mid pipes and bicoloured carbon wrap set.

    And when you open the door, be sure that ABT-logo integrated entrance LEDs will welcome you, while you step onto the special floor mats.

  • Bumblebee Inside and Out: Meet Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

    Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Side ViewBumblebee is probably everyone’s favorite Chevrolet Camaro model and especially in the case they are ‘Transformers’ series fans. The popular car is dressed in the aggressive color combination of black and blue and its interior has been made all black. And here is where Carlex Design tuners have found a flaw. Wouldn’t it be more harmonious if cabin’s design theme is in black and yellow too? The answer to this question is positive and here is the result.

    The new striking cabin of the Bumblebee is due to the work of the talented designers at the Carlex Design. As you can see it is in perfect harmony with the exterior of the car. By the way, this particular unit comes from the model year 2014, but this doesn’t hamper us of admiring it.

    SEE ALSO: Chevrolet Introduces Six Gen Camaro Accessories and Performance Parts

    So, what did happen to the cabin? The transformed and improved interior highlights the sharp lines of the chassis, but at the same time it does other things and they are regarding the materials used inside.

    Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1  Interior

    Here are the details: The clearly visible contrast has been created via the use of ultra rich black Nappa leather and the vivid yellow tone of the leather from Lamborghini range. As a result, the designers achieved an internal compliment to the external distinctiveness of body’s appearance.

    Even more, the experts also added some artistic airbrush painting applied to the decorative parts of the dashboard and door panels. How cool is that? What do you think: should the Bumblebee be produced as a standard with this bi-tone interior or should it keep its black one?
