It seems that the sequences of sci-fi movies, when the driver enter the destination and the car runs only, are very close to be reality. VW introduces a new generation of automatic pilot.

How will be that during the “journey” to work, read news, drink coffee or do your “homework” for the big meeting? It seems a picture torn from SF movies, isn’t it? But still, it seems that car manufacturers want to make autopilot function in its true meaning. Once you activated the system, the car really run single.

In these way VW manufacturers such as Toyota or Audi, this is trying to develop it. VW has a technology that is called “Temporary Auto Pilot”. It works by combining two systems, Cruise Control and Lane Assist. The combination of the two allows the car to run at least on highways with speeds up to 129 km/h without driver intervention. Of course it must supervize smooth running of things; however the system is in its infancy.

The system keeps distance from the car in front, it slows down when approaching, “read” road signs on the highway and “act” accordingly. In case of traffic jam, the system is able to stop the car, all automatically.

The bright side of things, compared to other experimental systems offered by Audi and Toyota, is that of the VW system is based on sensors and radars that already are on the car. This allows us to believe that in the next few years will see some of VW cars with these systems implemented and fully functional.

Germans from Volkswagen has taken by the end of the year the program of non-stop production of the factory near Bratislava to meet the demand for SUVs, growing.

German manufacturer Volkswagen continues to fight to become the leading producer in the world. Last decision by German officials was to extend the working hours of permanent factory in Slovakia by the end.

Employees from the factory next Bratislva began working as a non-stop program in September 2010 and the deadline when the Germans return to provide a program normally in June. This decision was taken because of the European car market begins to recover from the economic crisis, and the Germans do not want to cut this opportunity.

Currently, the factory in Slovakia are produced bodies for Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne. Last year the factory next door came Bratislava 144 500 cars, 36 percent more than in 2009. Of the total vehicles assembled in Slovakia, 99.3% are exported, most being sent to Germany, a country where demand for SUVs has grown by 36 percent.
