~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~
Tracking well on the highway is just one of many noteworthy features that Tech Talk host Rick DeMeis experienced this week in the luxurious 2021 Acura TLX Advance performance sedan. Have a listen as he goes through his observations of this top-of-the-line all-wheel drive model that offers some interesting technological innovations to keep the driver engaged while embraced in comfort and convenience.
In other news, there’s a study from iseecars.com that evaluates whether it is better to go new or pre-owned for your next vehicle, followed by the weekly Musk Minute. Then it’s onward to reports on an adaptive learning program for self-driving vehicles, wireless recharging for reconnoissance drones, and a programmable odor sensor that’s 200 times more sensitive than a dog’s nose and fits in your smartphone.
A weekly feature on KOWS 92.5 FM radio Newtopian Dream program hosted by RT Newt.
