World's Most High-Tech Cars-1

Introduction

From cars that pay attention when you don't, to built-in stereos that can store music and photo collections, high-tech cars are now commonly available in nearly every segment

Blind Spots














Volvo S80
Using mirror-mounted cameras, Volvo's BLIS system, shorthand for Blindspot Information System, alerts drivers via a small blinking light of vehicles entering blind spots.

Night Vision














BMW 5 and 6 Series
BMW's night vision system uses a thermal imaging camera to detect human beings, animals, and inanimate objects out of the driver's range of vision or the headlights' reach.

Departure Warning System














Infiniti Q45, M, and FX
Infiniti's Lane Departure Warning System aims to keep vehicles from straying into the path of other vehicles by using a tiny camera mounted on the rear-view mirror to read the road ahead.

Hard Tops














Volkswagen EOS
Intricately designed and mechanically complex folding hard tops are nothing new on high-end convertibles. But Volkswagen is breaking new ground by offering such technology at a cut-rate cost of under $28,000.

Emissions














Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC
To make diesels burn cleaner and produce fewer emissions, Mercedes has introduced its BLUETEC system, which thoroughly processes particulate exhaust emission.
