NISSAN BRAIN-TO-VEHICLE TECH AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly automotive news update covers a wide array of topics, from concept reveals like the Infiniti Q Inspiration to leaked images of the 2019 Mercedes G-Class and the AMG GT Sedan. Significant attention is given to the future of the Ford Fusion, with reports indicating a cancellation of its North American redesign and likely discontinuation by 2020. The video also touches on the potential return of the Nissan Xterra and a new Frontier, alongside Ford's upcoming Ranger. A key segment delves into Nissan's 'Brain-to-Vehicle' technology, which aims to anticipate driver actions, though the reviewer expresses skepticism about its practicality and complexity compared to traditional controls, suggesting it might be a precursor to autonomous driving integration. Other news includes Hyundai's Level 4 autonomous vehicle plans, a new panoramic sunroof airbag, and teased electric concepts from Kia and Byton. The Lexus RX 450h receives a notable price cut, and Alfa Romeo is reportedly planning a next-generation sporty product, potentially a successor to the 4C, which the reviewer finds encouraging amidst the industry's shift towards EVs.
