What is traction control? Well, before we get into that, let’s talk about traction itself.

Blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and low-speed collision prevention are but a handful of the advanced driver-assistance systems that are flourishing in the new vehicle market today. Helping enable next-generation safety and convenience features is supplier company Continental.

Contrary to widely held beliefs millennials think driving is important. Additionally, motorists do not see electric vehicles as viable transportation options in the medium term. These are just a couple of the findings from the 2015 Continental Mobility Study

Continental is a German supplier that provides all kinds of components to automakers, from turbochargers and transmission-control units to radar sensors and instrument clusters.

For millennia man has tried to see into the future.

Supplier company Continental may hold the “keys” to future driving thanks to two different technologies under development.

German supply giant Continental is working on a lot of cutting-edge technology, much of which is aimed at making things easier for drivers. But that’s not the limit of what they’re developing.

Automatic transmissions are HUGELY popular in North America. Europe is still a strong hold for the manual gearbox but on this side of the Atlantic self-shifters account for at least 90 percent of new-vehicle sales; the standard trans lost the market-share race decades ago and in spectacular fashion.

Every day across America 10 people die and more than 1,100 are injured because of distracted driving, according to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). But these tragedies don’t have to happen.

Like it or not,  self-driving cars are the future of personal transportation. A diverse group of global companies ranging from Volvo to Google are feverishly developing systems to enable autonomous autos.
