Video: 2007 Audi RS 4 vs. 2007 BMW M5 Comparison Test
2008-06-10 06:28:00
The 2007 Audi RS 4 and 2007 BMW M5 are practical four-door sedans, yet they are also dedicated high-performance machines. They are sports cars disguised as everyday transportation. This is a cool video from Inside Line, but I find the comparison to be way out of balance. For one, an M5 has a V10 500 hp ...

Improved Night-Vision for next 2009 BMW 7-series
2008-06-05 18:34:00
  The German website alle-autos-in.de gives us some more information concerning the next-generation 7-series (F01, F02). They talked to Arthur Ruß, responsible for all the camera-assistence-systems at BMW, who has shared some interesting things about the Night -Vision -System in the next 7. The system will be able to detect humans and to display a flashing warning triangle in the dashboard if any humans should appear in front of the car. The article says that the system will not cause false alerts if there are pedestrians on the sidewalk, but it does not get into details about how that task will be accomplished.  The camera found in the Night-Vision-system will be improved as well, featuring a better resolution and improved object-recognition. The system will warn the driver if he is in danger of a collision with any detected object or human. To test this technique they test drove over 250.000 kilometers at night, so the error margins are pretty slim. That's prett...
