Volvo’s Pilot Assist Is Here Now And Is Awesome

Car Shipping Carriers has been blogging about the future of cars and autonomous driving car.  We have discussed how Google is perfecting it in their own branded egg-shaped vehicles and in nicer Lexus models fitted with cameras and sensors.  We have also discussed Apple’s path getting into the industry with a self-driving car perhaps.  We have discussed the testing of haulers getting licensing in Nevada to test out and perfect the software.  These types of cars and carriers are coming in the immediate future, but Volvo might have a leg up on the competition for the moment.  It is called Pilot Assist and it is currently available on the2016 XC90 which is in showrooms floors right now.

What is Pilot Assist?  Well, it is a system that will allow the Volvo to lock in on the car in front of it when driving less than 30 mph using a radar.  There is then a high-mounted camera that is reading the lane markings to ensure you are staying in your own lane.  Once this happens the Volvo will start driving itself.  It will take over the steering, the throttle, braking, etc..  It is not a hands-free driving device, though, because the Volvo will alert you if it feels you have zoned out.  It feels your hands on the steering wheel.  If your hands are not on the steering wheel for more than 15 seconds the chime will go off to remind you, “Hey, keep you hands on the wheel dummy.”.  haha

To our knowledge, this is the first “self-driving” car we have seen on the roads that is available for sale at this time. This Volvo self driving car feature is really cool because many Americans are on the highways or city streets during morning and afternoon rush hours hardly going any speed at all. This Volvo Pilot Assist is the perfect feature to have in your vehicle.  You could read a book or magazie leisurely, text, talk on the phone, etc. and not have to worry about an accident because the car is driving itself.  You still have to pay attention to the road because the car will only go up to 30 mph and nothing more so if traffic lightens up you’ll have to take over and keep up with the flow of traffic.

These self driving features are going to keep popping up and we feel it will save time to many people by not having as many accidents on the roads, not as much traffic because the computer systems in the cars will drive better than most humans can.  Have you seen people on the roads, they are horrible.  The Volvo Pilot Assist is a great feature and something people should think about when purchasing their next vehicle.  It might just be a Volvo.

Bentley Just Made A 600 HP SUV Named Bentayga

Bentley BentaygaIt is official, Bentley is entering the SUV market with a new 600 horsepower vehicle called Bentayga.  Car Shipping Carries ships many vehicles across the country and one that we love to transport are Bentleys.  They are a great quality car and one that the owners are extremely pleased with.  It is fast, stylish and extremely luxury.  These are not for the cheap at all, these are for the people who are members of the 1%; the wealthy.  Now the wealthy have an SUV that fits their luxury wallet and meets the needs they have not been able to achieve anywhere else.

The article we wrote yesterday is about the Toyota Prius and how fuel efficient and how great of a hybrid vehicle it is.  This is the exact opposite.  This gas hungry SUV is a mean 600 horsepower and faster than most cars on the road today.  It eats Prius vehicles for an appetizer. The new Bentley Benayga will have a twin-turbo V-12 engine that will get 600 horsepower at the rear wheels.  This luxury vehicle will also have a refrigerator, cutlery, fine china and crystal glasses that will come with the vehicle.  Imagine taking this vehicle for a tailgating party.  You’ll have all the necessary tools, but you may stick out by being the “rich” guy or gal on the parking lot.  It will surely attract attention because the vehicle looks amazing.  From he front it looks similar to a normal Bentley car, but it is beefier.  The front grille is familiar and the headlights look familiar, but the side profile brings this Bentley SUV 2015 to life with its added size.

The Bentayga Bentley will sit four comfortably and have 22-way power massaging seats and 18-way power seats.  You can sit at nearly any angle and get a massage while doing it.  The back of the “trunk area” of the Bentayga is not large, but it wasn’t meant to be.  Bentley is looking to make this a luxury off-road vehicle.  There are 8 different driver selectable off-road settings for driving modes.  Inside the vehicle will have the same hand crafted beauty and features it always has.  Wood veneer, hand polished, leather, tablets for rear seating passengers, etc..

This will be the SUV to beat all other SUV’s.  Bentley surely out did themselves by creating the Bentayga.  These vehicles will be arriving in England starting early 2016.  Americans will have to special order them and have them shipped to them.

The New Generation Toyota Prius Looks Cool

2016 Toyota PriusToyota unveiled the next generation Toyota Prius in Las Vegas on September 8th at The Linq hotel and Car Shipping Carriers has the scoop.  Toyota is a company that has really steeped up their game in recent years with their styling to meet their “great car” perception.  They did not disappoint with the new Prius.  Do you remember when the Prius was cool?  Neither did I until now.  After seeing the body style I was really happy for Prius enthusiasts to have a car that is better for the environment and also look pretty appealing.  Lets face it, the Prius never looked cool.  It was like a egg shape on wheel.  Now that cheap isn’t ridiculous like it was back in 2008 or so, the Prius just didn’t fit the minds and lifestyles of many Americans.  Why spend the extra money on a hybrid when gas was so cheap?

Well, now with the fourth generation Prius things can finally change.  This vehicle will attract buyers that are looking for fuel economy AND people looking to drive something that looks cool.  The Prius is more angular and more sleek and has LED lighting elements that make a more more sharp edges that just make the Prius look much better than ever before.The vehicle is actually 2.4 inches longer and .6 inches wider which isn’t that noticeable, but it is .8 inches lower to the ground which does make it look more sporty than before.  Toyota also revealed that the Prius will gain 10 percent more fuel economy with the fourth generation models.  It will be the best fuel economy in its class without any plug for electricity.  That is a great thing to tout about and to boast about.  Having nearly 55 mpg is awesome.  Toyota also revealed that they plan on having a more Eco version coming out in the future and it will have even better gas mileage.

Toyota was very mum about other features, pricing, engine and horsepower that the new Prius will have.  With the gain in fuel economy we are guessing that the torque and horsepower will not go up.  The engine will likely be different than the previous generations to go along with the improvements.  Pricing is unknown and that is something that is always on peoples minds.  We are guessing that the price will rise slightly due to inflation and due to the improvements Toyota has made with the vehicle.  Normally when a new version of a vehicle comes out it is usually a tad more expensive than its predecessor.

The new Prius will set new standards in the hybrid automotive market.  It is normally a leader in technology and forward thinking.  Which this looks as good as it does and have the improvements that it has we can only guess that other auto makers will be searching to find new and creative ways to make their hybrids better as well. We love great competition and the new Toyota Prius 2016 just stepped up their game to another level.

Looks Like The Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck Is Happening

Jeep Wrangler TruckThe Jeep Wrangler is one of the most sought after vehicles in history.  The Wrangler has a cult-like following with Jeep enthusiasts purchasing and continuing to purchase their favorite vehicle over and over again.  Car Shipping Carriers wrote about the need and want for a Jeep Pickup Truck and it looks like it may happen with the next generation Wrangler is refreshed.

My wife owns a Jeep Cherokee that I purchased for her back in April 2015.  She was looking at the Wranglers, but wanted more room in the rear for storage of groceries, her makeup and hair kits (she is a professional makeup artist for weddings and photoshoots).  If the Wrangler had a Pickup Truck it may have been the option she would have choose.  It would be a cheaper route to take instead of buying a Ford F150 or Chevrolet Silverado.

Jeep Wrangler Pickup TruckAnyway, a report from Automotive News is suggesting that Fiat Chrysler will be updating the Jeep Wrangler for a 2017 or 2018 model year and a Pickup Truck is in the works as an options of rat new Jeep Wrangler.  This is really BIG news because if a person wanted a Jeep Pickup Truck they would have had to modify the Wrangler with a good amount of aftermarket products to achieve the pickup truck that they have been yearning for.

The production of the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Pickup will stay based in Toledo, Ohio.  For this to work out, however, the Jeep Cherokee will have to moved plants and be produced in the FCA’s Michigan plant.  Auto makers have to change plants for production vehicles every so often so this will not be a huge deal, but it may shorten the amount of Cherokee vehicles will be available in 2017 or 2018.  That will be 3 or 4 years old for that model so building a few less will actually help the cause because vehicles usually sell less numbers as a generation model gets older.

The Jeep Pickup Truck will be a smaller pick up in the range of the Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier’s.  It is not looking like they will have anything bigger than that which is okay because we don’t think Jeep enthusiasts are looking for an insanely beefy truck.  A smaller Wrangler Pickup Truck will do just fine for their needs on the road and off the road as well.

Our eyes will be glues to our monitors in search for more news about the Jeep Wrangler Truck, but until then this is the information that is available.

Check Out The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo

Bugatti VGTVideo games have been in families living rooms for over 30 years.  It is a staple for any kid or adult to want to have a play.  Imagine playing a race car game and creating these supercars or even choosing one that is already a playable vehicle in the game.  It is awesome to play with the vehicle in the game, but what if that vehicle that is super badass was available for purchase.  Most of the time the vehicles are available for purchase, but there are a select few that were only thoughts.  We can now say that the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is going into production and will be a car you can purchase.  Car Shipping Carriers loves Buagtti vehicles because they are for the ultra elite and they are a supercar that is in a class by themselves.  We have transported a few of these from one state to another and they are a sweet ride.  Not only to drive, but just listen to them roar is amazing.  When we transport cars like this it is always on an enclosed service, but we usually have the dealer or seller load the vehicle because of the insane amount of power the vehicle has, it is best that someone who knows the vehicle first hand load it because they know how to drive the vehicle better than a trucker who will see a handful of these in their lifetime.

Bugatti is building this Vision Gran Turismo for the upcoming Frankfurt auto show.  They wanted to take a car that the fans loved and bring it to life. For this Bugatti new car, they took the cues from the playstation game to build the vehicle.  They even gave it a two tone paint job in tribute to the Bugatti “Tank” that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in 1937.

When a company is going to build a vehicle for a special event they make sure they have their ducks in a row and have things strategically planned out.  Nothing happens “just because”.  The reason this Bugatti VGT is so special is because their will be a new Veyron coming out in the near future and people are speculating that the VGT will have many features and looks that the new Veyron will have.  The new Veyron is expected to cost $2.7 million when it finally goes on sale in just a few short years.  Take a look at the Frankfurt show and make sure you take pictures and compare them to the new Veyron when it is unveiled.  You’ll see many similarities.
