Audi Bringing In-Car Theatre to CES

Audi’s planning on putting on a show at CES 2019 next month. No really, they’re turning the inside of a car into a new digital experience and movie theatre to show off what the self-driving car could mean for passengers.

The Consumer Electronics Show is January 8th to the 11th in Las Vegas. It’s where all the new gadgets come out to play. Audi will be showing off a new Immersive In-Car Entertainment system. This one will be stationary, but you’ll get the idea of what the future of in-car entertainment has in-store.

Audi says that “thanks to automated driving, occupants will have ‘free’ time in the car in the future in which they can use the next generation of in-car entertainment, for example.”

The booth will show off just what exactly that means. The automaker says the infotainment system will “offer an experience for all the senses.”

Though we’re hoping they don’t add a smell component. Our cars smell enough as it is. Audi calls the journey the destination with the new format. We think the destination will always be the destination, but there’s no reason why you can’t make the journey more enjoyable.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
