"For safety is not a gadget but a state of mind"
YES......!. Audi knows that very well.There for in its new model Audi's A8, they put the safety first.Audi recently unveiled its new luxury Audi A8 — and it should make BMW and Mercedes nervous.
Just take a look of its new features here.
First, some basics. Audi will offer three gasoline, two diesel, and one plug-in hybrid unit for the sedan. The gasoline and diesel options will feature mild hybrid tech to help improve mileage.
The A8 will come equipped with radar and ultrasonic sensors, a forward-facing camera, and a laser scanner to support level 3 autonomy. Combined, the sensors will allow the A8 to drive in traffic on highways, even at slow speeds (37 mph).
The A8 can also park itself. The driver can stand outside the car and monitor it on the myAudi app as it parks in a regular spot or parking garage.
In addition, the A8's body sits on an intelligent, active chassis along with the pre-sense 360-degree system that enhances passive safety.
In case of a collision the vehicle raises itself up by 80mm before impact. The headrests are adjusted and the seatbelts tighten. This innovation is a step towards making the vehicle safer for passengers.The various sensors around the body detect every movement around the car.
While all the assistance systems included in the A8 are impressive, it is yet to be seen whether Audi will include them in their entire range of cars.
