[glow=red,2,300]Audi's Swarm concept reinvents the humble
taillight[/glow]
[quote]Practically, this may be a terrible idea, but as a tech
demo, it's an excellent illustration of OLED, and its potential
to kick holes in the divide between what we think of as display
technology and what we think of as lighting technology. The
concept is called Swarm, and is in essence an ultra wide aspect
ratio TV placed on a car's derričre where the taillights should
be. The idea is that the swooping, fluid animations displayed
will relay all sorts of useful information to other road users.

Dynamic patterns could relay information to other drivers

Some have raised concerns that the patterns could be distracting

Audi suggests Swarm could relay information about speed, traffic
behavior, and the layout of the road ahead

There's some possibility you won't see it in the states. They
already have technology that will not be coming here because of
laws.
Again, innovation is surpassing old laws. Sometimes we move
soooooooo slow here.

Well I never thought about posting something like this in the
Audi thread. It makes just as much sense to put this in the
techie thread...
[glow=red,2,300]Audi, LG Tie Up for a Different Type of
Companion Smartwatch[/glow]

[quote]Let’s see –smartwatches that serve as companion devices
typically work when used in conjunction with phones, right? LG,
however, had different ideas when it teamed up with Audi, as its
new smartwatch is capable of controlling a car.
To give you an idea of why this is important, Audi took the
autonomous Prologue on a 550-mile drive to CES 2015 with little
human intervention. And when it did finally arrive at Las
Vegas, it came with a neat little surprise, a smartwatch that
could be LG’s (distant) follow-up to the G Watch R. As
demonstrated, the device was able to start the Prologue’s engine
with a mere tap, and was also used by Audi R&D head Dr. Ulrich
Hackenberg to drive the car for a short distance.
Like the original G Watch R, LG’s new smartwatch runs on
Google’s Android Wear OS/UX, but Audi added an extra user
experience that does everything that Hackenberg showed attendees
at CES 2015. It also boasts of a new metal face and leather
strap, and thanks to LG and Audi, it comes with NFC to enable
the smartwatch to operate the car wirelessly. Both companies
are still working closely to figure out how to make the
technology as safe as possible.
Though it wasn’t demonstrated, LG and Audi claim that the
smartwatch can potentially unlock or lock the car, tweak climate
control settings, operate the stereo, and do other simple tasks.
The device also comes with conventional smartwatch features,
and is able to monitor a driver’s temperature and heart rate.
For the meantime, it may take a while before the new LG/Audi
smartwatch becomes available, as Audi is reportedly planning to
continue testing the device in private[/quote]
