Kai, Hyundai working on creating a wireless charging plug-in.
According to recent reported on automobile industry, reported by Hybrid Cars; Kia along with its sister automaker Hyundai, motors are currently working with another company- Mojo Mobility in order to to develop a wireless charging system for vehicles that would act as a plug-in for it. For this program, according to the circulating reports, the companies have received funding from the US Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program. As fat as the development of this initiative is concerned, then the companies have found that the wireless stations can be charged at about 92% efficiency. However, regarding the subject of development, no timeline as of yet has been provided or disclosed to the public. Hence, nobody can say regarding when the charging stations will be made open for the public.Earlier this year, in order to be ahead of its rivals, Hyundai made use of low-cost safety measures and latest autonomous features by 2020. The rollout of w3hich is expected to start this season with the migration of Hyundai's advanced driver assist systems, or ADAS, to the Elantra small car.Moreover, Hyundai also plans to introduce in high-end vehicles that will enable to use new lane-keeping cruise control at any speed. However, Hyundai present technology only works at speeds more than 37mph. The company is basically moving towards autonomous driving, it is developing a new traffic jam assist technology that allows controlling acceleration, steering, braking without the input of the driver.The new technology was also demonstrated outside Seoul, Hyundai Genesis followed a car through a track that included a S-turn slalom and U-turn and it was all done by the driver by just keeping his hands rested in his laps.Hyundai also decided to focus on advanced security as different automakers are offering advanced safety technology at reasonable prices in normal vehicles. Just a few years back, technologies like automatic braking and active cruise control options were only found in high-end cars costing more than $1500.
Ford's lineup is a monster, first with Saleen Black and now Shelby
Earlier yesterday, Ford brought out its Shelby GT350R-C Mustang race car, which is expected to make its on-track debut this weekend in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge at Watkins Glen.The top speed car is expected to be a beast in terms of speed with a friendly design.The car is expected to make an impression at TopSpeed. Larry Holt of Multimatic Motorsports said: “We like the endurance format, and the racing is always intense. Strategy plays a big role; the cars must be fast and reliable, and there are always at least 10 contenders running door-to-door for two and a half hours. It is the perfect home for the GT350R-C.”Not only this but, Saleen Automotive, the inventor of high-performance sports cars including powerful Mustangs, and the striking Saleen S7 supercar also announced earlier this year that it will be detailing the three variants of the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang. From the perspective of their specifications, the Yellow Label 302 is fitted with an engine capable of giving an output of 715 horsepower, and 595lb/ft. of torque. The new variant although fitted with the same supercharger found in the Yellow Label, but the supplementary parts installed include higher-flow fuel injectors, which makes the Black label capable of giving out higher performance of 730 horsepower, and 600 lb/ft. torque. Other high-performance parts fitted by Saleen include anti-sway bar, springs, shocks, and bushings for better suspension. A 15-inch brake rotor is capable of giving the Black Label higher braking performance. The supercharged vehicle is supported by some great tires, providing the car with tremendous road grip, as they include 275/35 R20 front and 275/40 R20 rear tires.As reports state, the new Black Label variant will not be cheap – the predator in the Mustang lineup is priced at $73,214, which is almost double the price of a Mustang GT.Dave Pericak, the director of Global Ford Performance said, "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race. We’re taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we’re ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world.”
