Hey guys this is Austin and today I’m taking a look at some of the coolest car tech sponsored
by AT&T. The first thing I got to check out is the new Audi TT. On top of being one seriously
good looking car it’s rocking some cool tech. The gauges are actually a twelve inch
display that’s customizable, you can use it to get info on the car, check weather along
with having your navigation right up front. It’s powered by an Nvidia Tegra processor
and the animations keep up a consistent 60 frames per second which is helpful. The last
thing I want are my gauges lagging. It’s all controlled on the steering wheel or the
MMI touch on the console which is a lot quicker to navigate through the system. If you’re
looking for something a little cheaper than a brand new car there’s the ZTE Mobley.
This is a tiny Wi-Fi hotspot that’s powered by your car, it houses a SIM for the LTE connection
and it installs right into the OBD port in basically any car made after 1996. Once installed
you’ve got a Wi-Fi connection that uses your mobile data. While it might not quite
count as car tech AT&T had a Gear VR setup that showed a series of increasingly dangerous
things to do behind the wheel like texting. Crashing a car in virtual reality is definitely
an experience. Car tech is awesome but the best part is actually driving it. We got to
borrow a brand new Volvo XC90 for the road trip to CTIA this year and this thing is straight
tech on wheels. It has cameras all around which can give you a bird's eye view of your
surroundings which is seriously cool. Having a giant touchscreen in the dash is nice to
serve as a big navigation screen but you can also customize things like the ride and steering
and fine tune the awesome sound system. Like the Audi the gauges are completely digital
which can display most menus and the navigation but one of my favorite features was the holographic
heads up display that shows things like the speed limit and directions just for the driver.
The trippiest part is actually driving though. Pilot Assist will help to steer the car to
keep it in the lane and can even handle accelerating and braking on the highway. On the long drive
to Las Vegas this was awesome, it might not be a driverless car but it’s not far off
which is crazy. I love tech so to see cool stuff like this really just gets the nerd
in me excited. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this short little video taking a look at some
of the car tech of CTIA, I have a feeling this won’t be the last video like this I do.
