2017 MAZDA CX-9 CONCEPT
SPECIFICATIONS:
Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring (ABSM): Employing a 24 GHz radar on each side of CX-9, ABSM can detect vehicles closing in from as much as 164 ft. (50m) away.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC): Operating at speeds between 30 km/h to 145 km/h (19 to 90 mph), MRCC uses millimeter wavelength radar to judge the relative speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. In accordance with the target speed set by the driver, the system automatically controls the engine and brakes to maintain the driver-selected vehicle speed and safer following distance, which is also adjustable by the driver. Because the driver does not need to operate the accelerator or brakes while using MRCC, the system relieves some of the burden on long drives. The radar sensor is capable of precise detection from a long distance, so its use allows the system to operate effectively in the rain, in backlit situations, and at night. It is also possible to turn off all of the system's automatic functions and revert to conventional cruise control should road conditions make this more desirable.
Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Rather than keeping CX-9 centered in a lane between two lines as some systems do, which can cause an unnatural-feeling tug on the steering wheel, LAS, which is available in a Mazda for the first time in the U.S., helps ease CX-9 into turns. Meanwhile, LDW vibrates the steering wheel to warn drivers if they begin to stray from the lane. LAS will employ a progressive approach to assisting users to drive within lanes, but the system will deactivate after warning the driver if it senses he or she has taken his or her hand off the wheel.
High Beam Control (HBC): HBC allows users to keep high beams on at all times, dipping them when necessary when a camera built into CX-9 detects headlights from oncoming vehicles or tail lights. The system automatically switches to low beams below 19 mph (30 km/h), when they are unnecessary.
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS): Using an near-infrared sensor mounted to the windshield, SCBS operates between 2 and 19 mph (4 and 30 km/h) to apply the brakes in order to lessen the severity of an impending and inescapable collision at up to 20 ft. (6m).
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW): Uses a millimeter wavelength radar to display the distance of CX-9 to the vehicle in front of it in a five-step display, encouraging the CX-9 driver to lessen his or her speed if necessary. If distance between vehicles decreases and evasive action is necessary, audible and visual Forward Obstruction Warning signals will indicate that evasive action is needed.
Smart Brake Support (SBS): Operates at speeds above 9 mph (15 km/h) to automatically brake in the case of an impending collision

THE 2016 McLAREN 570S
SPECIFICATIONS :
The 570S is the first car in McLaren's segment to combine rear-wheel drive, a mid-engine layout, and a carbon-fiber structure. Its “MonoCell II” tub weighs less than 180 pounds and is similar to that of the more powerful 650S. (Compared with the measurements of the 650S, the 570S is within a few millimeters in both width and height and is just 0.8-inch longer.) Cabin access is easier than in the firm’s more expensive offerings, McLaren says, thanks to lower, narrower sills and a recalibrated “door sweep” for the swing-up portals. Most of the body panels, including the doors, are rendered from aluminium. When outfitted with all of its lightweighting options, the 570S is claimed to come in at 2895 pounds (dry), with 58 percent of it over the rear wheels; verification will have to wait until we can roll one onto our scales.
And, of course, the 570S looks smashing, with its exotic, mid-engine proportions and a visage that’s clearly evocative of both the 650S and the P1, albeit with slightly more triangular headlamps. The blackout door graphic is distinct—a stylized McLaren kiwi?—and doubles as the air intake, while above the waistline are more intakes and a flying buttress that directs air over the engine-bay heat extractors. The rear end, with its black-tinted tail lamps and conspicuous absence of a rear bumper also brings to mind the incredible P1 range-topper. And the diffuser couldn’t be more intimidating even if it were forged in Hades.
