Volkswagen Will Only Sell Its ID Electric Cars Online

Volkswagen Will Only Sell Its ID Electric Cars Online Volkswagen  is switching up the way it sells its electric vehicles. The company’s dealerships will no longer be the primary point of sale for the ID family of EVs. Instead, they will assume the role of an “agent” that facilitates the sale. If you’re in the market for a  VW EV , you can now place an order directly with Volkswagen and choose your preferred dealer. Instead of giving you the hard sell when you walk into the dealership, the dealer will now be focused on organizing test drives, facilitating the transaction and making sure you get the keys to your new wheels without a hitch. The price of the vehicle, plus the dealership’s commission, is fixed, which will bring some financial relief to dealers, too.

It represents

Ford Mustang Mach 1 to return to streets after 17-year absence. Here's what it looks like

Ford Mustang Mach 1 to return to streets after a 17-year absence. Here's what it looks like After a 17-year absence, a new Mustang Mach 1 is ready for launch. With new aerodynamics and suspension upgrades, the 480-horsepower 2021 Mach 1 will be "the pinnacle of 5.0L Mustang performance and handling" when it goes on sale next spring, Ford said. The Mach 1 is a storied model in Mustang history. Launched in 1969, it won back-to-back Sports Car Club of America Manufacturer’s rally championships and set 295 speed and endurance records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in its first model year. Since that first-generation, Ford has built just two Mach 1s: One on the underappreciated Mustang II that kept the pony car alive through oil shocks in the 1970s, and an ’04 model on the fourth-generation Mustang. Among other performance improvements, the Mach 1 will offer an upgraded version of Ford’s fast-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission – not available on Bullitt or Shelby Mustangs

4 Essential Things to Know About Your Car’s Power Windows

Image
Power windows are windows in a vehicle that can be opened and shut with the push of a button. Vehicles without power windows have a crank handle. Power windows are convenient as they let you focus on the road while opening or closing the window. Benefits of Power Windows Power windows are standard on most vehicles today. They allow people to control the vehicle better and allow easier access for those with arthritis, or hand injuries, to roll down the windows without as much pain. In addition, the windows in the back can be controlled from the front using the master panel. This is very helpful when children are in the back seat, and are unable to reach or roll the windows down themselves. How Power Windows Work Power windows have an electronic motor attached to a worm gear, which is attached to several other gears, to create torque to lift the window. A long arm is attached to a bar at the bottom of the window. One end of the arm slides into a groove as the window rises up. On the oppo

Windshield wipers on connected vehicles produce high-accuracy rainfall maps

Image
Connected vehicles are poised to transform the field of environmental sensing by enabling acquisition of scientific data at unprecedented scales. Drawing on a real-world dataset collected from almost 70 connected vehicles, this study generates improved rainfall estimates by combining weather radar with windshield wiper observations. Existing methods for measuring precipitation are subject to spatial and temporal uncertainties that compromise high-precision applications like flash flood forecasting. Windshield wiper measurements from connected vehicles correct these uncertainties by providing precise information about the timing and location of rainfall. Using co-located vehicle dashboard camera footage, we find that wiper measurements are a stronger predictor of binary rainfall state than traditional stationary gages or radar-based measurements. We introduce a Bayesian filtering framework that generates improved rainfall estimates by updating radar rainfall fields with windshield wiper
