WOW! The 2014 Equus

Wow, could this Equus be coming to America in 2014?  I hope so!

The video below says it’s a 2013 facelifted, but the interior has been totally redone. I’m hoping it shows up at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

Innovation predictions for 2013…Self Driving Cars.

I received a great tweet from Verizon Wireless asking, “What are your innovation predictions for 2013?”

In the Verizon article, according to Forbes, one of the trends to watch is the “connected car” which has been out for some time, but with driver safety being a hot topic car manufacturers like Hyundai and technology companies like Apple and Google are coming together to make our roads safer and help get to our destination easily and quickly.

Hyundai’s BlueLink telematics can help adjust route for shortest commute time, can locate the cheapest and nearest gas station around, unlock your car doors and desktop can send points of interest to the navigation system.

Hyundai will also debut and demonstrate next-generation/future infotainment systems at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week (Jan 8-11).  Below are some of the highlights courtesy of Hyundai USA.

• Eyes Free mode: Hyundai will integrate Siri, the intelligent assistant that helps drivers get things done just by asking, and the much-anticipated Eyes Free mode into its vehicles. Through the vehicle’s infotainment system, drivers with a compatible iPhone* running iOS 6 can direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. To further minimize distraction, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further with an Eyes Free mode which enables drivers to interact with their iPhone using nothing more than their voice while keeping the device’s screen from lighting up.
• Dragon Drive: Developed by Nuance, Dragon Drive is an automotive-grade voice services platform for the connected car that enables drivers to speak naturally and conversationally with in-car systems. Drivers can simply dictate messages, search for their favorite music, find real-time weather and even ask directions to their favorite restaurant – in the car or in the cloud. With its extensive experience in the automotive industry, Nuance is working with Hyundai to integrate Dragon Drive into its future vehicle infotainment systems.
• Mobile High-Definition Link: MHL technology delivers 1080p60 uncompressed video with up to eight channels of digital audio from a mobile device to a dashboard display, all while charging the device. With MHL technology, Hyundai is able to integrate mobile devices into the car infotainment experience by enabling consumers to display apps and other content from the road. The MHL ecosystem is continuing to grow with an installed base of more than 220 million products and has fast become the de facto standard for smartphones.
• Next-Generation Hardware: Hyundai will feature the latest hardware with high resolution, multi-touch displays, Bluetooth^® 3.0 and Wi-Fi/3G connectivity options with user-centric interface design. Drivers will be able to access connectivity features such as web browsing, mobile hot-spot, and media streaming through the support of DLNA and Mirror Link and Aha by HARMAN. These next-generation systems will also showcase popular entertainment features like Pandora^®, HD Radio^® and SIRIUSXM^®.

Google has also been leading the way with their concept of self-driving cars which they have been testing for over 2 years and some 300,000 miles logged.

Move over Michael Knight it’s our turn to drive K.I.T.T!
