this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by the all new G flex 2 from LG life's good what's up everyone jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here CES 2015 is now just a fond memory from about a week and a half ago there was a ton of ridiculously awesome tech there and a lot of even awesomer car tech and i talked a lot about that awesome car tech in previous videos i talked about the mercedes-benz f0 15 the Volkswagen Golf R touched and Toyota Mirai they got all the glitz and the glamour but there was other ridiculously awesome tech the car show so I present to you friends the top 3 most badass pieces of car tech you missed at CES 2015 so as outtie has been for the past few years their booth is gorgeous at CES we had to look hard to find this piece of badassery it's a DS virtual cockpit an all-new mm I which stands for multimedia interface that little knob and touchpad they've had for quite a while but now it's getting a gigantic upgrade so while a lot of car tech is just crazy conceptual this one is for realsies and coming on the 2016 q7 so moms everywhere should be pretty excited the car will feature lifelike 3d graphics powered by Nvidia on to stupidly good-looking high res screens with one behind the steering wheel that is completely customizable a large touchpad with eight programmable buttons on the center console makes inputting addresses and accessing menus just way way easier google voice recognizes natural speech commands finally just use google speech that works so much better for placing calls choosing song titles and way bunch more the clincher though for me is an optional rear entertainment system that features two HD tablets both of which can be used outside the vehicles you just take them with you I never made sense to have things that flip down from the top or built into the headrest when your tablet can do all of that for not only way cheaper but also you can dig it with you again coming on the 2016 on the q7 number two BMW I cake and mobility this is a whole suite of tech so BMWs long been a thought leader in the auto world as you probably know some of the most beautiful cars most advanced engines in the entire freaking world but haven't always been the most tech forward though and they're quickly trying to change that and change that fast already seeing that with the i3 and the i8 at CES though BMW is taking that tech too just like here's this level they're going to like this level off camera so it's I kick in mobility suite of products already allows owners of the i3 electric to incorporate poet transportations their itinerary which is nice you can see how long to take you to get places as you get dragged to the train station it will work with you to do that BMW's i remote app for android gets even awesomer users can now access the best route be it by car bus train or SmartWatch or of course on their smartphone so pretty nice but what's new this year is a car find your app that you can find your car in a parking lot or garage so that's awesome I get lost easily be really helpful for me but most impressive addition is your corporation of smart TV functionality this allows users to plan trips at home using digital calendar from a smartphone or personal computer or from a freaking smart TV itself a BMWs cloud-based service calculate the best routes to take including be on foot to the nearest parking lot or bus stop system will also reconcile travel time between two appointments at different locations so you have no excuse to be late anymore it even learns what type of transport user prefers everything is synced to the cloud so users can access itineraries and directions via the Internet connected smart TV vehicle dashboard screen smartphone or SmartWatch slowly builds a likely scenario for you for a minute let's say you just picked up an i3 and you're all proud of yourself because you're like boom mock cars electric and it's all connected and it looks pretty sweet at least I think so and you're like hey you know what it's electric I can go the carpool lane I don't have to be I don't have to rush to get myself to work you're sitting on the couch playing with your phones they just picked up new G flex 2 and you're like oh the Snapdragon 810 plays games so fast oh no I'm gonna be late for work so you go when see Allen's can take you to drive to the train station your phone tells you it's all you're gonna take it 14 minutes like that's be it work for 45 minutes I got more time to play some more shooting games and you're like oh crap then there's gonna be traffic getting from the parking garage to the train station which is weird but let's say there is your phone can tell you how to do that so they really interact make it super easy for you integrate into your phone all my jokes aside are gonna make life just that much easier for you and last but not least number three Ford SYNC three you'll notice what I didn't say I didn't say myford touch we've reviewed a ton of four vehicles for the most part really like the cars but the myford touch interface with those four quadrants and a lot of different touch places you gotta strike we're convoluted to use difficult to understand and be powered by Microsoft for years but Ford listen to it's User that was a big reason that I know a lot of folks you might not have wanted to get a Ford they've ditched Microsoft now in favor of blackberry and blackberry owns qnx which is pretty stellar we've seen the demonstrator for the past few years so double units on the show floor it's es were really snappy and operation and way more intuitive and layout with simple tile similar those on a cell phone or tablet for key functions that you do all the time things like climate control stereo and navigation graphics aren't a sophisticated looking though as before but overall sync three appears to be a huge improvement you get something to use to and your cell phone and tablet like pinch-to-zoom pinch-to-zoom making just a much easier to use and simpler and most importantly easy-to-understand interface so what'd you guys think I know some of the big car tech got all the glitz and glamour but there were three really awesome things that happened on the car was at CES 2015 15 it didn't get the attention they deserved I wanted to help enlighten you what you guys was excited
