hey guys Mike Froman here for TechnoBuffalo I'm checking out Cadillacs new queue it's basically taking a tablet putting it in a car and seamless - with the Linux based operating system now that is pretty awesome has a pretty fast processor and it can do a lot of the things that your tablet or your smartphone are capable of doing I'm going to take a little demo so stick around and check it out we got a we have a three core arm11 processor in here that's 100 mils per core having this thing is extremely capable its Linux based software okay so kind of a nice and open best of the open the best of the best software developers in the open architecture world taking what they've done and incorporating it into our our system here the list is beautiful because what you have is the ability to kind of drag yourself down the side of a list here okay and you can kind of similarly iPhone context exactly exactly so what we've done a couple things here right we've created the ability to flip in the system just like in an iPad and it's not tuned yet that's why it's flaking very far I can grab it I can drag it up and down I have a great interface in the middle that shows me kind of where I am okay I'm on 101.5 and I wanted to I want to be up around 89 I can just touch 89 over here and it puts me right at 9 well let's jump over to NAB so okay let's get a video just get one of our favorite artists play and see what see what I got here for you that we can play the Queen Freddie Mercury I do all right that's the foster the people maybe I'd rather go for Britney Spears you want to lift you let's do Britton all right so we'll get we'll get Britney playing on here okay it's pretty quick I'm impressed it is name again we're at a beta level software there's little bugs our album art didn't come up it should come up but it will come up in the system and your six months six months out of yeah okay so there's so much so many software releases left I'm not funny so as we're talking about the reveal on the throat so I went to a very clean screen as I approach the system you start to see the system come up what I can interact with yep we talk about an apps right I want switch over to nav nav is sitting right up in my app tray sorry we didn't okay so that's your main application straight right on exactly okay very cool so now I'm in my nav and it's uh again we're beta we're coming up here we're just taking our good time doing it so one thing that's cool about the app tray we'll go back to the home page just like on your consumer device today I can press and hold I can go into an edit mode there my apps right SMS text is important to me I can take SMS text I can drag it up into my app tray and replace something that's up there kinda looks like a little Android going on there and a little iOS too absolutely very very idea of hue was - we heard a lot from our customers we don't want to relearn how to use something we want to we know how to use these consumer devices get those consumer devices in the car and let us be familiar with what you're putting in our vehicles we have a great lighted storage bin inside here with the USB port so I can plug in my ipod I can stick my iPhone in there I can stick my android in there okay connect the system via bluetooth I can connected the 10 Bluetooth devices on this - can be active at once the system will support all your major Bluetooth profiles for phone connections audio streaming text messaging even the newest audio streaming where I can browse my music and get all that information up there as well so the idea is get in the car get your phone in the storage bin or your device in the store has been put it away don't touch it and use the great interface that we have on the screen here to access what's on your phone in a safe manner our steering wheel controls are really focused on the right hand side the steering wheel for infotainment we have a five-way control or kind of up left right and center select and what that is supposed to be a very intuitive interface that I can go through here I'm going up I want to go in settings I want to change my layout I went down to press it pick the layout looks cool to me I'm a performance guy I'll choose my performance layout the system will come back build me a performance layout and give me a different different experience but still all the same information so what do I have available to me I have vehicle information my vehicle information in a very cool you know almost video game-like atmosphere with 3d 3d graphics rendering on screen there now speaking of video games can you play video games you aren't gonna be able to play video games in the COPE you're a passenger so the idea again the idea with Q is not to not to bring technology for the sake of Technology in the car is to have a very safe driving experience but we're all connected we don't want to get in our car and not be connected so the idea is get in the car keep your connected life but in a safe and usable fashion while you're driving I admire that I do I think because I don't want people running around playing Super Mario Brothers like ROM so yes carry your car that'd be really powerful no travel no longer be safe if you do no know so and just to finish out we can do on the screen here we have all of our phone connections on the screen if I get an upcoming phone call can you get a picture of the person I get text message I mean it notified that I have one so it's all migrated into the front exactly so every I can do here I can do here
