Milan - Produsen motor CR & S (Cafe Racing dan Sport) yang memproduksi motor Duu, baru-baru ini memulai debutnya dengan mengungkapkan sebuah mesin yang disesuaikan sepenuhnya dengan menggabungkan otot Amerika dengan gaya Eropa. Duu adalah sebuah kerajinan tangan hasil karya pabrikan motor yang berbasis di Milan, Italia, sehingga motor ini tersedia dalam jumlah terbatas, dan akan mulai diproduksi awal tahun 2011, dengan banderol harga hampir 19.000 Euro atau sekitar $ 25.900. Motor Duu akan didukung oleh mesin X-Wedge 1.916 cc yang menghasilkan daya lebih dari 95 Hp dan torsi 140 Nm (103,3 lb.ft.) pada 2,500-4,700 rpm. Mesinnya mencakup dua katup kepala pushrod per silinder dengan penyesuaian diri hidrolik, dan tiga camshaft belt (satu asupan dan dua knalpot).
Komponen strukturnya dibuat karbon, sedangkan sisanya dibuat di VTR, ABS atau karbon. Tangki gas dibagi dalam dua bagian, yakni casing tulang punggung dan pemegang jok berstruktur kotak. Selain itu, setiap opsi baru yang diperkenalkan akan 100% retrofittable pada setiap Duu. Fitur motor ini mencakup banyak komponen berkualitas tinggi buatan tangan, seperti lampu depan, kondom tangki dengan fungsi penyimpanan, pemegang GPS dan kaca lipat (CR & S paten), jok penumpang nyaman yang bisa dilipat, tangki minyak dengan paduan lampu mesin sirip, tank pad, CR & S paduan lampu mesin dari roda solid, disk break SBK, jok cover yang berbeda, tutup pengisi aluminium, chasis berbeda, grafis bodi yang berbeda, dan powertrain. Dari konfigurasi yang tersedia pada tampilan sesuai warna masing-masing komponen, seperti untuk chassis dan roda. Bahkan warna powertrain dapat dipilih, yakni sebuah plat perak yang disesuaikan yang diukir untuk memberikan sentuhan akhir.
WartaNews-Montreal - Lito Motion Green, produsen motor Kanada secara perlahan mengikuti trend kendaraan hijau, dengan mulai mengurangi produksi motor bensin, menuju pembuatan roda dua dengan mesin listrik. Kabarnya, produsen menghadirkan sebuah motor listrik revolusioner, mulai debut di Grand Prix F1 Montreal pada tanggal 12 Juni mendatang dan diberi nama Sora. Produsen mengklaim, Sora memiliki jarak tempuh lebih dari 185 mil (298 km). Sora memiliki beberapa karakteristik luar biasa, salah satunya posisi jok dapat disesuaikan tingginya. Mengusung mesin motor listrik Liquid cooled 3 phase AC induksi dengan bantuan dari CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
Motor listrik itu mampu memcapai kecepatan maksimum 120 mph (193 km / h). Percepatan 0-62 mph (0-100 km / jam) membutuhkan waktu sekitar 4 detik dan tingkat torsi maksimum adalah 59 lb-ft (80 Nm). Rangka aluminium menopang baterai 12 kWh lithium-polimer yang bisa terisi penuh dalam 8 jam.
Dengan bantuan dari bodywork terbuat dari serat karbon, berat seluruh motor hanya £ 529 (240 kg). Motor menggabungkan Safe Range System yang memantau bagaimana beban baterai tersebut, dalam rangka meningkatkan jarak tempuh sejauh mungkin. Ada dua mode mengemudi yang tersedia: eco mode untuk jarak maksimum danperformance mode untuk kecepatan penuh.
Dilengkapi panel dengan tampilan layar sentuh dengan sistem GPS, membuat dapat menemukan lokasi di manapun Anda inginkan. Fitur lainnya, suspensi high-end dan komponen rem motor menjamin keamanan. Sora dibanderol dengan harga mulai dari US$ 44,080 (EUR30, 465). Moscow - Igor Chak, perancang asal Rusia yang juga menciptakan Honda konsep CB 750 2015, kali ini menyajikan sebuah konsep motor Izh 2012 yang meminjam namanya dari produsen senjata terkenal 'Kalashnikov'.
Izh juga merupakan pabrik utama motor Rusia, sebelum jatuhnya Uni Soviet, dengan produksi yang bahkan lebih besar lewat IMZ-Ural, sehingga disebut sebagai salah satu pabrik terbesar di dunia. Chak mendesain ulang sebuah Izh-1 lansiran tahun 1929 dengan mesin besar berkapasitas 1.200 cc V-Twin dengan mesin dicampur melintang, transmisi tiga langkah dan bertenaga 23 Hp. Selain itu, rangka motor masih menggunakan bahan yang terbuat dari baja foil yang dicap, dengan bagian belakang yang berfungsi sebagai sebuah knalpot.
Namun pada Izh tahun 2012 yang memiliki bobot hampir setengah dari berat model tahun1929, hanya berbekal tenaga mesin yang berasal dari unit 850cc V-twin bertenaga 140 Hp. Hal ini berkat sistem bahan bakar dengan pengatur otomatis cerdas, sehingga mesin mampu mendapatkan mpg optimal. Tenaga mesin juga menggabungkan tenaga dari motor listrik 60 kW yang dibangun di sisi belakang, dengan gearbox kecil 2 kecepatan. Menurut sang desainer, ini kombinasi mesin hybrid yang mampu menghemat konsumsi bahan bakar menjadi sekitar 80 mpg (2,94 l/100km). Izh 2012 juga dilengkapi fitur keselamatan, seperti airbag ganda, pengatur sistem radar yang bekerja sama dengan kamera menghadap depan onboard (juga dengan kemampuan penglihatan pada malam hari), dan sensor sisi kedekatan pada pinggir spion untuk mendeteksi blind spot. Fitur keamanan lainnya termasuk kontrol traksi lanjutan, accelerometer untuk lampu, stabilizer dan ABS advanced. Terakhir, motor ini mendapat sentuhan sejumlah fitur konektivitas yakni 3D on-board LCD touchscreen, dimana layarnya sudah menggunakan teknologi augmented reality.
Ada tiga mode yang tersedia, sport, comfort dan manual. Pengendara juga memiliki pilihan untuk perangkat remote control mobile pada layar utama mereka, dan fitur berkonektivitas standar, sudah termasuk GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, dan 4G. WartaNews-Swiss - Produsen Swiss baru-baru ini akan meluncurkan sepeda dengan motor listrik yang diberi nama, eJalopy GreenWheel.
Sepeda futuristik ini kabarnya juga dilengkapi dengan sensor, aplikasi canggih dan koneksi internet. Pengguna sepeda eJalopy GreenWheel ini bisa menggunakan WiFi dan menghubungkannya ke smartphone untuk menemukan keberadaan teman-teman mereka. Pengguna kemudian dapat menggunakan smartphone mereka sebagai GPS guna mencari rute tercepat atau yang paling eifisen untuk menemui teman mereka.

A toddler on a leash – no matter how many times they see it, some people find the sight of a small child wearing a harness and tether just somehow wrong. It’s understandable why some parents do use leashes, however, as many tykes have a nasty habit of wandering off into the mall, park or woods as soon as mom or dad’s back is turned.
There are GPS-based alternatives such as the (which appears to now be discontinued), although they require the parent to access the internet or use their mobile phone. The Mommy I’m Here CL305 child locator, however, will instantly let you know where your kid went via an audible alarm. The wireless system consists of a teddy bear-shaped receiver, and a keychain transmitter. The receiver is attached to the child’s shoe or belt via an integrated mounting loop. The transmitter, carried by the parent, will chirp if the child wanders more than 30 feet (9 meters) away. At that point, if the parent can’t see where their child went, they can press a button on the transmitter.
This will activate a 90 db beeping alarm on the receiver, as long as it’s still within a range of 150 feet (46 meters). Once the day's swim is over, data can be downloaded from the Hydro Tracker into the user's PC or Mac. There, their route can be viewed on Google Maps, in map or satellite settings. Information such as speed, distance traveled and accumulated time can be obtained from any point on that route map, and can be compared with the user's data from those same points on other days. Users can also keep track of their performance stats and set training goals on the FINIS Streamline Training Log, which can accessed for free online.
The device itself is smaller than you might imagine - more the size of a traditional mobile phone rather than an iPhone. It has a 2.6in screen but, unlike just about every other satnav around, has a transflective screen. This means it's perfectly viewable in bright sunlight without the backlight turned on. Viewing angles aren't particularly wide, though, so you may not be able to mount the 800 on your bike's stem as the bundled mount has no adjustment.
In order to tilt the screen to the right angle, you'll have to mount it on your handlebars. Fortunately, it's waterproof, so you can use it in the rain. There are various bundles available. This is the top-of-the-range package which comes with a wireless speed/cadence sensor, a 'premium' heart rate monitor with a soft strap, plus a 4GB microSD card pre-loaded with City Navigator: detailed road maps of Europe. The basic package, which contains the Edge 800 only, costs £310. Adding a heart rate monitor and speed/cadence sensor brings the price to £355.
Another £40 buys the City Navigator maps. Alternatively, you can have the Discoverer maps, which contain full Ordnance Survey coverage of Great Britain. This is around £100 more expensive than the City Navigator maps. The good news is that you can customise the 'timing pages' so they display as much or as little information as you like. There are five screens and each can show between two and 10 data fields. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing which items to show - so many, in fact, that they're divided into categories: cadence, calories, course, distance, elevation, general, heart rate, navigation, power, speed, timer and workouts. We set the main screen to show speed, cadence (pedal revolutions per minute), time, temperature (using the built-in thermometer), and distance, but you can choose any combination for any screen.
When you turn the 800 on, you're presented with the first timing screen. This looks much like the display of a high-end bike computer, with black text on a white background. You can also choose white on a black background.
As it's a resistive touchscreen, you have to prod fairly hard to select things, but it's possible to swipe between screens and menu options, just like on a smartphone or tablet. There are only three physical buttons: on/off, start/stop and lap/reset. The GPS receiver is stunningly sensitive.
Not only does it acquire a signal faster than most car satnavs we've tested, but it's also more accurate: you can see which side of the road you cycled on when zooming into the route on Google Earth or in the Bing map within Garmin Connect. Another hugely useful feature is courses. Instead of automatically working out a route, the 800 simply directs you around a course you set. This means you can take a particular road - or avoid one - and still get the same turn indications as with the auto-routing mode.
There are many websites where you can download courses other people have created, or you can easily create your own. This mode is also great for routes you ride regularly, including circular routes. You can choose to be alerted if you cycle off course, which is handy if you're whizzing down a hill and miss a turn.
Usefully, you can disable route recalculation, preventing the 800 from building a new route if you do go off course. Yet another mode is Workouts. Using the Training menu option, you can build Workouts which have multiple 'steps'. You set a particular goal for each one, be it time, distance, heart rate or something else from the numerous parameters. If you don't want to build a Workout, you can use the Alerts option for a simpler indication of when you've reached a goal, say distance or heart rate. Alerts can also be warnings, so you can set maximum and minimum values for various parameters such as cadence - to warn you if you're straining too hard up a hill with low cadence, for example.
Garmin Connect is probably the first tool you'll use. It uploads your activities to and does an excellent job of presenting the information in a friendly way. As well as a map showing the route you took, you get graphs showing speed, elevation, heart rate, cadence and temperature.
You can set goals, such as cycling a certain distance within the next month, and schedule activities as well. A neat feature is the ability to play back the route in Google Earth. Routes can also be downloaded, so you can challenge friends to cycle your route, or download their courses. Although the Edge 800 is expensive, it does everything a cyclist could want. Plus, its battery lasts long enough for all-day riding. Garmin claims it will last for 15 hours; after three hours of cycling, our unit still had 80 per cent remaining, so we can believe the claim.

We'd love to see a firmware update to enable a UK English language option, better documentation and a more integrated analysis / route planning application, but we've yet to see a better satnav for cycling. For this reason, it wins an Ultimate award.
There are also several other upgrades compared to previous Mio devices we've seen. One is the inclusion of TomTom's IQ Routes, which uses recorded traffic speeds at different times of day and days of the week to calculate the optimum routes. There's also better lane guidance than before, with a clear graphic of the motorway junction and a huge road sign that matches the real one on the road. We'd love this feature to be extended to every multi-lane junction, but so far, no satnav has this capability. Another tweak is that the menu button, which was previously touch sensitive, is now a real button.
This fixes the annoyance whereby you'd constantly brush the button while tapping the screen and end up looking at the main menu. This is unchanged and has five options: Find, Map, My Places, Settings and Explore. The sixth onscreen button takes you to the rest of the options, which include traffic information (the older and not as up-to-date TMC system that uses FM broadcasts), a trip planner and a button to take you home.
You wake up, shower, and put on your Google specs. Latitude records your movement and marks you as “awake.” Brushing your teeth in front of the mirror, Maps tells you that there’s traffic on the way to work. Hopping into the car, Navigation shows you a different route to work.
As you pass Dunkin’ Donuts, Places warns you that the remains of a rat were recently found in a cup of coffee — but at the same time, Offers tells you that a cup of coffee and a donut is only $1. While stopped at some lights, you check out a hottie crossing the road, and Goggles pops up their Google+ profile. You could even snap a photo or quick video, with that front-facing camera. At the office, or perhaps back at home in front of the TV, Translate would mean that you can understand any written or spoken language. Then there are the privacy, security, and ethical repercussions to consider. The mentions that Google X labs, the team behind the glasses, wants to “ensure that people know if they are being recorded by someone wearing a pair of glasses with a built-in camera.” Obviously, though, the repercussions of a wearable computer that a) knows where you are, and b) what you’re looking at, will require a lot more than a blinking red “record” light on the front of the specs. The phrase “” takes on a whole new meaning when Google also correlates your real-world activities with your online presence.
Remember, Google is ultimately an advertising company, where eyeballs directly translate into money — and it’s hard to get any closer to your eyes than a pair of augmented reality glasses. When you look at a car dealership, Google will be able to display ads from a competitor. When you sit in front of a computer, or TV, or stare through a shop window, the glasses will be able to track your head movements and report back on the efficacy of display ads.
Perhaps most excitingly, when you read a newspaper or book or other static medium, Google could even overlay its own, interactive ads. LightSquared has licenses for 1525MHz to 1559MHz for uplink and 1626.5MHz to 1660.5MHz for downlink. That’s 34MHz on each radio link for. That’s enough to deploy a full 20×20 LTE FDD configuration and supplement it with a 10×10 overlay for a capacity boost. This spectrum even covers the entire nation! So what is the problem? The problem is the fact that its MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) band (commonly referred to as the L-band) sits right next to three very important radio services: aviation radio communications, RNSS (Radio Navigation Satellite Service), and NASA space-to-earth research satellite services.
The next portable navigation device on your dash could watch your driving habits and provide you with a lower insurance rate, but it could also rat you out (too fast! Too hard on the brakes!) and have you paying more.
The next step in usage-based insurance comes courtesy of Dutch firm and UK insurer, who are teaming to offer a form of Carrot-and-Stick Auto Insurance. That’s not the real title but it’s close enough because it penalizes aggressive drivers at the same time it rewards good ones. TomTom’s technology can be viewed as Big Brother (if you’re paranoid) while it could be a godsend for good drivers or for those that really need low-cost insurance and are willing to reprogram their driving habits to get it. There are upsides. A driver with speeding tickets and at-fault accidents could use this to afford insurance or maybe it’s the only way to get insurance.
The TomTom PND does provide instant feedback so it may collectively improve driving so the total number of accidents (and claims) goes down. The insurance industry in the U.S.
Has talked about geofencing as another part of usage-based insurance: you pay less if you don’t drive late at night when drunks are out and about, or if you don’t drive in or near high-crime neighborhoods. (That’s a problem if you’re a lower-income person and that’s the only place you can afford to live.) The baseline factor is how many miles each car is driven. Of course usage-based insurance already exists. The TomTom project is news because it’s a new function for portable GPS systems at a time when they’re under pressure from above and below. Thilo Koslowski, VP of Gartner’s automotive consulting group, says the highest growth rates for navigation devices are smartphone-based and in-dash (as prices come down), with dedicated GPS devices lagging. So PND vendors created more features. Some were a yawn (built-in MP3 player, hotel alarm clock) and some had the potential to be helpful (near real-time traffic).
TomTom is also in the news because it rolled up the information gathered on vehicle speeds from early GPS units and sold that off to the Dutch police who used the info to. Not exactly the You’re in Good Hands people. TomTom’s implementation involves adding a black box, the Link device. A neater installation, not so good for TomTom, would be using a telematics system already embedded in the car. The Pay As You Drive (PAYD) program of uses the OnStar system already in most GM cars.
GMAC Insurance notes all subscibers get a discount just for using PAYD, but you have to factor in the $200-$300 yearly premium for OnStar. GMAC says you get at least an 11% discount. Provider, offers reduced rates for drivers who install monitoring devices. Where GMAC tracks miles driven (only), Progressive is TomTom-like in tracking other driving behaviors. From a driver’s point of view, the concern over usage-based insurance is whether this will move from opt-in to the norm. If so, drivers looking for a little privacy (“what have you got to be afraid of unless you’re hiding something?”) may wind up paying more. In the US, in most or all states the changes would have to be approved by state insurance commissions.
It might also require insurance companies to separate out things that seem to be risk factors from the ones that really are. Driving over the speed limit may not be as hazardous as following it too closely, constant lane changes, tailgating, or failing to wear a seat belt. All of those situations could be monitored. GM is now starting to offer a (essentially a tailgating detector) along with lane departure warning in cars such as the GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Traverse.
Right now it connects to a flashing icon atop the center stack but Version 2.0 could be linked to the OnStar tattletale – er, feedback – mechanism. As long as usage-based insurance remains opt-in, odds are not many people will opt in. At least in the U.S., the majority of drivers rate their skills as above average, but they may rethink their abilities if a black box is watching. Will capacitive touch controls and a user-configurable LCD instrument panel make Cadillac the Cadillac of cars again?
That’s the hope of the flagship brand for General Motors with the, or CUE. Cadillac aims to blend technology, ease of use, and luxury in hopes of cracking the top three in sales among luxury cars. After working with one of GM’s cockpit simulators it’s clear that Cadillac is on the right track even as it’s likely to have the teething pains BMW and Audi went through in developing their signature human-machine interfaces. Early adopters of CUE who didn’t study at Georgia Tech may find Rev 1.0 to have a bit too much in-your-face in the interface.
Four years of focus groups, research, and design may not be enough for GM to realize how uncomprehending mainstream users can be when it comes to new tech. CUE faces two challenges: Capacitive touch looks cool in the showroom but it’s a bear to use on bumpy roads. Cadillac probably went overboard in jettisoning switches and knobs in homage to capacitive touch sliders. Drivers will ask, “Hey, where’s the volume knob?” Also, some features are going to take training, such as flicking (the gesture) a piece of info from the 8-inch center stack screen and making it land on the drop-dead gorgeous 12.3-inch LCD display that is the instrument panel. You can think of the displays being like a PC with a dual screen extended display, except the displays are separated by almost a foot so it’s not immediately clear one is an extension of the other when you move a panel with smartphone-like gestures (tap, flick, swipe and spread). When a Cadillac expert ran CUE through its paces, everything worked quickly and smoothly. But it’s the kind of interface — sorry, Cadillac — that isn’t going to be learned without an hour or two of dealer training.
Here’s the background on CUE. Cadillac is bringing out two new sport sedans this year, the full-size XTS and the compact ATS, as well as refreshing the SRX crossover (tall wagon). All get CUE along with the and a host of optional driver aids (lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, head-up display). CUE starts with an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in the center stack (the middle of the dash where the radio goes). The center stack is a capacitive touch panel, meaning it’s a membrane with virtual buttons that registers your touch and has haptic feedback, or the ability to vibrate or pop back to let you know your input registered. The center stack LCD has the same capacitive touch and haptic feedback. (The instrument panel LCD is look but don’t touch.).
The CUE instrument panel behind the steering wheel will be a 12.3-inch high-res 1280×480 LCD display. Cadillac says it’s user-configurable. Translation: You can pick from four display options called Simple (above), Enhanced, Balanced, and Performance.
Then you can modify the screens by moving info such as a music display over from the center stack to the instrument cluster. I found this similar to the instrument panel that has a pair of user-configurable 4-inch LCDs flanking a traditional mechanical gauge package.
Cadillac’s version is much higher tech, but as far as getting phone info, music info, or simplified navigation instructions right in front of you, the effect is the same. Cool navigation and social networking apps show up on smartphones years before automakers can build them into custom infotainment systems that cost hundreds or thousands dollars, and so now they’re partnering with smartphone makers to mirror some apps on a car’s center stack LCD display. Toyota’s Touch Life infotainment system lets you run Garmin StreetPilot, Stitcher, Twitter, and other apps that show up on the larger display of your dashboard display. The underlying technology is part of an industry-standard (they hope) called MirrorLink, developed by the Car Connectivity Consortium. The downside is that Touch Life and the first apps are for Toyotas sold in Europe and they’re only compatible with a handful of smartphones from Apple and Nokia. Automakers’ intentions are good, but new ideas take years to percolate to market. Right about now, they’re ready to unleash infotainment systems with that hot new app, Friendster.
Now, by mirroring on the dash what’s already on your smartphone, the idea-to-working-app-to-car cycle can be months rather than years. Touch Life is the first mirroring system based on industry protocol. Every app is available when the car is parked.
When it’s moving, only a subset of apps are available — no videos, for instance — but it’s a useful subset. According to Toyota, apps that can be mirrored on the Touch Life 7-inch touchscreen include Garmin StreetPilot, Stitcher and AUPEO! (internet radio and news), Twitter, and Facebook. Apple iPhone users need to download an Application Launcher app from the iTunes App Store.
Nokia smartphone users need the Car Mode app. BMW has been supporting an alternative single-vendor standard, the Apple iPod Out feature available with iOS 4.
As with Touch Life, the car can mirror the iPhone or iPod apps. “Mirror” isn’t exactly the right word because it’s not a literal reproduction of the iPhone/iPod display. Instead, what you see is the essentials only, for less driver distraction, rendered onto bigger center stack screens. And on BMWs, this is not a cheap way to bring navigation to the dashboard of your BMW.
IPod Out has the advantage of supporting new features as they come available. BMW was the first with (2004), but since then, Apple added features such as Genius playlists, and iPod Out handles that. If you’re not quite ready to buy a new car, you can retrofit your existing ride with the, about $350 street plus installation. It works with the iPhone 4 (and iPod Touch fourth generation for a lesser subset of apps). The capacitive touch screen controls navigation (MotionX-GPS Drive), Inrix Traffic Radio, Rdio on-demand music, and Pandora internet radio. The screen is a 6.1-inch, 800×480 (WVGA) LCD, about the same size as many car navigation screens.
The unit itself is an AM/FM tuner with inputs for satellite radio, HD Radio, and of course an iPod/iPhone connector. However, it’s a double-DIN unit that only fits in some cars, since most cars sold in the US now have integrated head units with non-standard faceplate openings. DIN (7×2) and double-DIN (7×4) cutouts for car radios are more common outside the US. All these apps have one common limitation: The vendors decide what apps you get, and what apps you’ll get when the car is moving. The lockout on movies and videeos is common sense — but Twitter or an email reader? The traditional safety lobby — insurance companies, government agencies — just say, “Twitter bad.” But realists recognize many drivers will sneak a look at the smartphones when the message indicator beeps or vibrates, so it may be less unsafe if texts and snippets of email are displayed onscreen or read aloud.
This is an emerging battleground. 'Analysts agree that in 2012 and beyond, it's going to be all about mobile apps. Consumer behavior is undergoing a sea change as profound as the shift from mainframe to desktop computing,' said Mike Walther of DMEautomotive. 'Far more people now prefer to access info via on-the-go apps. DMEautomotive's mission is to bring science inspired marketing programs to the automotive industry; Driver Connect is all about allowing the dealer to deliver relevant communications via the mobile app. This is why we developed Driver Connect — to put dealers ahead of the marketing curve and keep them firmly in front of their customers.'
Driver Connect Features. Foryou General Electronics, a Chinese supplier of in-car navigation and infotainment systems for domestic and global automotive markets, has designed in u-blox 6 GPS receiver modules for two lines of advanced in-car infotainment systems, the Android-based AN6B01 and CE6620, u-blox said. “Our in-car infotainment and navigation systems offer the highest level of performance in terms of design, quality, user-friendliness and satisfying user experience,” said Yang Dan, head of sourcing for ForYou. “Reliable navigation is a core feature of our products, and our customers expect uncompromising performance in demanding driving environments.
