Audi AG has once again confirmed that it is one of the most advanced companies in the application of new technologies. The revolutionary car interior, where everything is controlled with the iPad. Audi#39;s managed to create electric sports car, which resembles c R8, but in fact the essence of the project «E-Performance» is much deeper than just the development of an electric vehicle. On the concept of E-Sport in Audi obkatali new technologies and developments. Only a digital speedometer, steering wheel and iPad, and nothing more.
Project «E-Performance» - this is not only a project Audi, a joint development with Bosch in a global research project of the German Ministry of Education with a number of universities in Germany. In the creation of the electric vehicle, which would have had the characteristics of a conventional car, the German government invested 36 million euros.
The origin was the Audi R8, but in fact is a car that has nothing to do with the same car except the resemblance. Electric car weighing 1650 kg of which some batteries West 400 kg, can accelerate to 100 km \ h in 7 seconds and drive 200 km on a single charge.
Audi also experimentally verifies the functionality of the interior, decided on the basis of iPad. Inside, the usual location where the dashboard, instead of buttons and knobs - iPad and a digital instrument panel.
Absolutely all functions climate control, configuration modes of movement, control of battery, audio system, navigation, etc. instituted only on the iPad. Moreover, he is also removable, that is, it is the most common iPad.
Control systems, car was pretty easy, just a simple navigation, which you get used to literally instantly, while still and scaled so that the discomfort - no. But subconsciously, we still looked for the handle traditional MMI and inquired about its availability from the developer. We specifically created an interior based on the iPad, to try a completely different principle of organization of management systems of the car - people marked with the manufacturer elektrosportkara - informs AUTO-Consulting.
The convenience of an interior based on the iPad you can make on a special simulator, but the interior looks more harmonious. As always, all brilliant - just.
Investigations are continuing, but the fact that the iPad will appear in car showrooms future models - obviously. So it#39;s time for drivers to master polls iPad.
