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.

BMW and Daimler to team up in push toward self-driving cars

Andrzej Wojcicki | Science Photo Library | Getty ImagesBMW and Mercedes-manufacturer Daimler announced a new partnership on Thursday to develop autonomous driving.
Some 1,200 technicians from the two German auto giants will team up in a bid to develop self-driving technology. The engineers will work toward driver-assistance systems, automated driving on highways as well as parking. The firms say the technology will be specified to what industry insiders call SAE level 4.
“Further talks are planned to extend the cooperation to higher levels of automation in urban areas and city centers,” BMW said in a joint statement.
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) levels determine the automation capabilities of vehicles, ranking from zero to five.
Level 4 vehicles can intervene if things go wrong or if there is a system failure. The car can perform all functions itself, although a manual override is available to a driver.
Daimler and BMW said they are targeting 2024 as a key date for installing the technology in cars available to the general public.
The automakers said the cooperation is “non-exclusive” and partner manufacturers and technology firms will take part in the work.
They added that the results won't be kept secret and other firms can see the conclusions “under license.”
Safer than a human?On Tuesday, the two German companies joined with nine other firms to publish a white paper on driverless technology, entitled “Safety First for Automated Driving.”
The report aims to draft worldwide industry standards for tackling the risks of self-driving cars and trucks.
Authors and experts from the firms involved say they aim to present the paper's principles and findings at auto industry and technology conferences over the next few months.
BMW said the main goal of the paper is to create a situation where an autonomously-driven vehicle is proven to be safer than one involving full human control.
Other participants in the document included Audi, Baidu, Continental, Fiat Chrysler, Here Technologies, Infineon, Intel, Volkswagen and Aptiv.
