As shocking as it may be at first, modern cars will be able to save fuel predicting the route will go. That is, not enough to read the road, traffic signs, the presence of other vehicles, and optimize the use of the engine, or on-board systems such as climate control. The anticipation has become one of the best assets of the new Audi A4 and Audi Q7 to save fuel, ten percent by Audi predicting the situations that we face, as the terrain, speed limits and traffic.

talked about the new predictive efficiency assistant Audi , a device that goes beyond the outstretched ads with gearshift recommendation, or throttle settings, electromechanical power steering, cruise control The automatic transmission and climate control.
to save 10% fuel , Audi uses the information stored in your navigation system that suits us down the path and optimize the most of our consumption. This technology and first used in 2011 in the Audi A8, and has been perfected coinciding with the premiere of Audi A4 and Audi Q7 .

And what is the predictive efficiency assistant Audi? By activating the adaptive cruise control, Audi will adapt our speed not only to the presence of other vehicles on the road but also to the terrain and speed limits. So the car is able to anticipate “obstacles” that require slow, making that reduction occurs gradually and as far as possible without using the brakes, even before they are visible to the driver.
When we talk about obstacles we mean curves, roundabouts, intersections, entrances and exits of locations and speed limits. Obstacles also condition the entry into operation of conduction system Sail , which automatically disconnects the transmission (with tiptronic units) to avoid drag losses and let the vehicle retains less to maintain your speed. This automatic disconnection is only activated if the wizard detects that efficiency will remain active for at least five seconds.
Audi also announced that this predictive system will inform the driver of the percentage of outstanding, the proximity of corners, roundabouts, intersections and new speed limits in virtual Audi cockpit instrumentation and Head-Up Display , if the vehicle is equipped with this option. And that’s another interesting to help us make a more intuitive and secure, especially mountain roads or bypass roads driving point.
