LADA XRAY Cross with new automatic transmission

LADA, demonstrating attention to the needs of potential customers and striving to provide maximum pleasure from driving, started producing LADA XRAY Cross with a new continuously variable type of automatic transmission.
Continuously variable transmission is specially designed for cars and crossovers of small class, and its settings were fine-tuned given operation features in Russia. Similar transmissions of the Jatco company have already proved the reliability and have been applied in a number of models of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance already for some years.
The main feature of the unit is the additional use of two-step geared sector in the design. This solution allowed to make the transmission more compact and by 13% lighter. This solution increases traction performance, and moreover the transmission does not afraid of low temperatures, slipping and heavy loads, and, in addition, provides high fuel efficiency. If necessary, this type of transmission makes it possible to imitate manual gearshift mode, which facilitates overtaking, uphill movement, towing the trailer, engine braking, and also increases the acoustic comfort in the car.
The new transmission on the LADA XRAY Cross is installed with the Alliance HR-16 1.6 l engine, which is produced in Togliatti. It should be noted that the curb weight of the car and the record ground clearance (215 mm) have not changed. LADA XRAY Cross with continuously variable transmission passed a full cycle of tests, the total mileage of which was about a million kilometers.
All the details about the sales date, prices and trim levels of LADA XRAY Cross with automatic transmission will be announced later.

Waymo makes autonomous vehicles available to Lyft riders

VIDEO5:2505:25Self-driving Waymo minivans are now available on Lyft in ArizonaSquawk BoxWaymo, a subsidiary of Google-parent Alphabet which is developing autonomous vehicles and related services, has officially expanded its reach and is now making some of its self-driving minivans available for customers of ride-share firm Lyft.
The rides are restricted to a small area just outside of Phoenix, Arizona, where Waymo has been testing self-driving vehicles and has started its own autonomous ride-share service called Waymo One.
Waymo's limited partnership with Lyft is the latest example of the company branching out to work with more companies as it develops autonomous vehicles and services. Earlier this month, Waymo struck a deal with Nissan and Renault to build self-driving vehicles for those automakers.
By partnering with Lyft, Waymo CEO John Krafcik believes the relationship gives both companies “the opportunity to collect valuable feedback.” For Waymo it will be able to better gauge how the public interacts with a self-driving vehicle. Until now, those getting rides in Waymo vehicles in the Phoenix area have been pre-screened and accepted into the Waymo early rider program.
Waymo's steady expansion comes as competitors are making their own plans to roll autonomous ride-share services. Later this year, General Motors subsidiary Cruise, is expected to unveil an autonomous ride-share service in a small area in or near San Francisco.
Uber, which dominates the ride-share industry in the U.S., is also working on its own fleet of self-driving vehicles. Earlier this month, Eric Meyhofer, the head of Uber's Advanced Technologies Group, told CNBC his company is working to deploy self-driving cars without safety drivers in limited areas. But he said Uber wants to be in “the good graces of public trust and regulatory trust” before deciding when to roll out Uber vehicles without someone behind the wheel.
Michelle Krebs, an analyst for Autotrader, believes widespread deployment of self-driving vehicles, whether in a ride-share program or elsewhere, is still years from happening.
VIDEO6:1806:18Tesla could surprise to the upside with autonomous driving: AnalystTrading Nation “Nobody knows the right answers technically, and certainly, nobody knows the right answer for building a business model,” she said. “So I think there is going to be a lot of partnering up, changing partners, and figuring out strategies before this settles out, and I think that's a way down the road.”
For now, Waymo is making just a handful of its vehicles available in the Phoenix area and eventually, up to 10 Waymo self-driving minivans will be eligible for Lyft rides. The service will be limited to those Lyft customers planning to start and complete a ride within the geofenced area where Waymo vehicles have been operating.
When Lyft customers in certain suburbs of Phoenix call up the app on the phone and look for a ride, they will be offered the chance to be shuttled in a Waymo autonomous-drive minivan or a traditional Lyft vehicle with a human driver. The Waymo minivans in the Lyft program will all have a safety driver behind the wheel.
