Our Favorite Technology Features from Audi
Audi stays on the leading edge of automotive innovation, from performance to reliability to comfort. That mentality extends to interior comfort too. The automaker is committed to improved safety, infotainment, and connectivity, no matter where you're headed.
Protection for the Long Haul
Safety is always important, especially on roads that you may not be familiar with. Audi also offers a suite of semi-autonomous active safety features that are always at work while you drive. The brand-exclusive Audi pre sense® suite uses input from the vehicle’s external cameras and an industry-first LIDAR laser scanner to virtually “see” the road and detect potential hazards in all directions. The vehicle’s onboard zFAS processor analyzes the input with an advanced algorithm and determines how to react in fractions of a second. Some of these will respond with audible and visual warnings, and some of these can even take control of the vehicle to avoid collisions before the driver has time to react. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Lane Assist, Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers, and Traffic Jam Assist all reduce driving fatigue on long journeys.
A Soundtrack for Your Journey
One of the most important aspects of any trip is the playlist. If you’re heading into work, you need motivating tunes. When you’re planning a long trip, you need songs that make you want to sing along. But how do you get them from your smartphone to your car’s speakers? Audi has the solution. The automaker created many solutions. From USB ports that connect and charge to auxiliary input, there are tons of ways to connect your devices. Bluetooth®, SiriusXM® Radio, Pandora®, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™ are all available on some models, so you can integrate your car into your busy life better than ever. The available Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System features up to 23 speakers, strategically placed throughout the cabin, engulfing you and your passengers in sound production you only thought possible in a music engineering studio.
Navigation to Take You There
Audi models not only make your road trip more entertaining but also more efficient. Thanks to Audi connect®, you can connect to services like Google Earth™ for navigation in 3D. With myAudi Navigation, the directions don’t stop when you get out of the car. The myAudi app can guide you the rest of the way on foot. With Google™ Points of Interest and Yelp Reviews available in your vehicle, you always have the best recommendations in the area. Audi can even help you find a parking spot near your destination and guide you directly to it. When equipped, these features can take the stress out of traveling.
Command Center
Turn your Audi vehicle cockpit into your command center with the MMI® touch response system. This user-friendly interface is inspired by the technology you use intuitively every day—your smartphone. Similar gestures are used to control the infotainment system, as well as the climate control. The result is an interior that looks as sleek and modern as the exterior of each Audi model and performs as seamlessly as the drivetrain.
No matter where the road takes you this year, Audi is here to make the trip as smooth as possible. The latest technology, the most comfortable interior appointments, and the innovative safety packed in every Audi model allow you to focus on making memories with your loved ones. The team here at Audi Silver Spring would love to show you these great features in person. To dive even deeper into the amazing features available in Audi vehicles, contact us today.
