The 2017 Audi A4 Is the Car of the Future

By Ann Binlot Published March 18, 2016

Being behind the wheel of a 2017 Audi A4 is like driving an automobile of the future. Once you’re behind the wheel, choose which view you want on your Audi virtual cockpit. Navigating the road has never been easier, considering that all you have to do to see where you’re going is to look directly in front of you instead to your left or to your right. “The navigation is extraordinary and the car is very precise,” said a recent test driver.

It’s never been easier to sync your mobile phone, thanks to the standard Audi smartphone integration, which supports Apple CarPlay™ and Google™ Android Auto. That way, you can listen to your own music on Pandora or Spotify while cruising down the road. The Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System and customizable ambient LED interior lighting enhance your experience even more, turning your car into a roving nightclub.

When you’re parking the 2017 Audi A4 makes sure you’re in line when you back out, thanks to its 3D satellite imagery from Google Earth, which allows you to see just how precise your parking job is from above.

If somebody needs wifi, that’s not a problem, the 2017 Audi A4 is fully connected, so you can view the local traffic, news, and anything you could possibly imagine — except for maybe GrubHub delivered to your door.

Also, you’re always safe in the newest Audi A4. The Audi pre sense city system detects stationary vehicles, and those that are coming around the corner at speeds of up to 52mph and pedestrians also. Once it detects a potential collision, it can start full braking. How’s that for ensuring your safety?

Now add the class-leading standard 252-horsepower2 TFSI® engine, available quattro® all-wheel drive and sleek design, what more could you ask for?

We’ve been searching for the car of the future and the 2017 Audi A4 certainly hits all the sweet spots.

Predator: Badlands is giving Predator fans the movie they’ve always wanted

The movie is set to hit theaters in November, years after the debut of Prey.

After the success of Prey, there's some new energy in the Predator franchise. What's even better for Predator fans, though, is that the next installment seems designed to give them something they've always wanted. Namely, a movie that follows a predator's POV.

In the first trailer for Predator: Badlands, a predator named Dek is exiled from his clan, only to meet a humanoid-looking life-form played by Elle Fanning. The two of them team up to take on something that "can't be killed," and a long the way, we get some pretty incredible looks at the homeworld of the predators.
