Are you a current Model S or Model X owner and wish you could try out Autopilot before you shell out for it? Well, there's good news. Tesla will now give you can a free one-month trial of the semi-autonomous system.
Now, of course, there's a bit of a catch to all of this. All Model X and recent Model S vehicles left the factory with Autopilot hardware. If the owner wanted it activated at the time of purchase, they paid $2,500 for the tech suite.
If they wish to have it activated after the one-month free trial, however, the price jumps to $3,000 — $500 more than if they'd ordered it before testing it.
Certainly, 500 extra big ones is a small price to pay for such a robust system on a car that costs more than $100,000 to begin with. Still, it's not nothing.
If you do opt to try it out, please don't do crazy things with it, as some Tesla owners have so far. It could ruin semi-autonomous tech back by a decade.
Honda announced Thursday morning that it will be bringing back the
Accord Hybrid for the 2017 model year after having discontinued it for
2016. I guess engineers just needed a year off.
Along with new front-end styling, the 2017 Accord Hybrid will boast
an impressive, EPA estimated 49-miles-per-gallon fuel-efficiency rating,
as well as Honda Sensing, the Japanese carmaker's suite of advanced
safety and semi-autonomous tech.
Thankfully, it's techie on the interior, too. Honda has outfitted the Accord Hybrid with both Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto.
If you're into power, the Accord Hybrid has some of that as well. In fact, it boasts 212
total combined horsepower, generated by its 2.0-liter gasoline,
four-cylinder engine, as well as the car's dual electric motor setup,
which replaces the need for a normal mechanical transmission. That means
it's both peppy and efficient.
Confused how a car can operate sans transmission? Turns out, it's rather quite simple.
Basically, the four-cylinder has two electric motors connected to it.
One motor always drives the front wheels and the second is used to turn
the gasoline engine's power into electricity. The gas engine never
directly drives the wheels but works to generate energy to move the car
forward, which is passed through one of the two motors, depending on
drive mode.
Perhaps
explaining its drive modes will help clarify further. There's EV Drive
that uses just electric power to propel the car. Then there's Hybrid
Drive that uses the drive electric motor to turn the front wheels while
the gasoline engine runs, which in turn drives the other electric motor
that generates electricity to supplant the spinning of the drive motor.
Lastly there's Engine Drive,
which locks up the drive electric motor and the gasoline engine. As the
gasoline engine generates energy, it goes straight to the wheels through
the drive motor.
