Porsche cars now 'see' 1.8-miles down the road
Porsche is looking to become the envy of the green conscious with its latest electric lineup. Nathan Rousseau Smith (@fantasticmrnate) has the details. Porsche's InnoDrive driver-assist tech leverages data from topographical maps and traffic services to look 1.8 miles down the road and prepare the car's suspension and engine for the road ahead. Porsche drivers will soon have cars that can electronically see 1.8-miles down the road, thanks to the German automaker's formerly European-only InnoDrive system that will make its appearance on 2019 U.S. models. The driver-assist feature, which the company announced during an event at its Zuffenhausen, Germany, headquarters this week, is yet another salvo in the ongoing war between automakers to provide motorists with a growing suite of technological minders that making driving safer while stopping well short of offering as-yet unproven self-driving vehicles.
