Audi Q7 Predictive Efficiency Assistance with Cruise Control System

Lighter,

more efficient and full of high-tech - The new Audi Q7 In collaboration with adaptive cruise

 control (ACC) and traffic sign recognition,the predictive efficiency assistant adapts the

 pre-selected speed to the routeand the speed limits. The adaptive cruise control system
accelerates and brakesto keep the Q7 at the desired distance from the vehicle ahead.
The predictive efficiency assistant is a groundbreaking innovation from Audi. It uses the

route data from the navigation system to alert the driver of situations in which it would make
 sense to reduce speed, such as before curves, towns or speed limit signs that are not yet visible.

Luxurious

comfort, the largest interior in the segment and a weight saving of up to 325

utilizes high-resolution navigation maps for its driver assistance systems.

Highly precise data leads to greater convenience and better fuel economy

Predictive efficiency assistant in the Audi Q7 achieves up to ten percent fuel

savings.It utilizes information about the topography to get the car to its

destination with greater efficiency and convenience. High-resolution maps will

also play a key role in piloted driving. Audi is working on the navigation map

of the future with strategic partners such as Dutch map and navigation supplier

TomTom – utilizing various technology platforms in the process. The next

generation of the Audi A8 will be a front-runner in piloted driving technology

and the use of high-resolution maps.

Audi

customers can already realize significant benefits from precise map materials.

The predictive efficiency assistant in the new Audi Q7 uses highly precise

route data that includes information on elevation profiles – it works with this

data even while the driver is not actively using navigation. If desired, the

system can also be used to help economize on fuel. It offers practical

fuel-saving tips to drivers in situations in which reducing speed makes sense.

The predictive efficiency assistant recognizes curves, roundabouts and

intersections, descents and ascents, as well as municipality border signs and

speed limit signs – often before the driver even sees them. Drivers who fully

utilize this features can reduce fuel consumption by up to ten percent
