Hans Noordsij, the owner of the Tesla Model X, has it to thank for the fact that it is still in one piece today. When he was driving on the highway, Tesla's sensors - Tesla's autopilot has the ability to automatically detect danger - predicted a traffic accident in front of him and consequently slowed down the vehicle before it actually happened.

He recently unveiled his 800-horsepower four-wheeled missile, the Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4, which he equipped with, among other things, an Akrapovic exhaust system.

Mercedes introduced digital headlights, which are actually a projector. This doesn't mean you'll be able to turn the garage door into a projection surface and play a movie on it (but that would be nice!), but the headlights will be able to project messages, signage and other information onto the roadway, including a crosswalk. The new technology will make driving even safer, and the high-resolution light beam will not cause blinding of other participants.
