Pakistani Robotic Car


Pakistan's 1st completely automated & robotic car created by a local engineer Inayat Khan. The car can be controlled in different ways such as controlling Verbally, through Keyboard, Joystick or Screen Buttons & even via Satellite. To highlight further the challenge & accomplishment kindly note the vehicle is not one with an automatic transmission but have manual gear system involving a clutch. In words of the person himself:

Project: I have converted an ordinary Suzuki car to a robotic-car. Wrote 185 pages masters thesis in which I have described that how an ordinary Suzuki car is converted into a robotic-car. It is a self controlled as well as remote controlled car. It was tested and demonstrated in University ground, on ordinary congested roads & in car parks running at a speed of 80 km/h. This demonstration was recorded by different TV Channels and Print Medias. It can be controlled verbally in an ordinary spoken English language as well as through keyboard, joystick and through screen buttons etc. It can also be controlled globally through Satellite where the Satellite access is available. Basically I was a medical group student but I came towards the computer engineering side to see that how the human brain is working. Now I wish to use this AI/Robotics Technology to develop disabled peoples hands, legs, eyes etc.

2011 Lexus LFA

The waiting is finally over, and Lexus has taken the wraps off the production version of its eagerly-anticipated LFA supercar in Tokyo. A visual amalgam of the various LF-A Concept vehicles that started appearing in 2005 and the GT racers that have been entered in the "near-production" category at various European endurance events since 2008, the street version of the hyphen-less LFA matches high profile looks with even higher-profile performance credentials as it prepares to go head-to-head with cars like the Audi R8 and Mercedes AMG SLS. The mechanical good stuff starts with its titanium-intensive 4.8-liter V10 that makes 552 horsepower at a stratospheric 8,700 rpm. It sends those ponies to the rear wheels via a six-speed paddle-shifted sequential manual transaxle teamed with a TORSEN limited-slip differential. Lexus says that's sufficient to send the LFA streaking from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and propel it on to a top speed of 202 mph.

Dynamic assists for the LFA's competition proven all-alloy suspension include a specially-tuned, tri-mode version of Toyota's VDIM integrated stability/traction control systems, electrically assisted power steering and Carbon Ceramic Material (CCM) anti-lock brakes complemented by ultra-grippy 20-inch Bridgestone Potenza ZR20 tires wrapped around BBS alloy wheels. Construction that matches 65 percent Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) with lightweight alloys keeps the LFA's curb weight to a mere 3,263 pounds, which is distributed in a near-ideal 48/52-percent split.

Intermixing supple leather, Alcantara and aluminum trim, the LFA's driver-centric cabin features deeply bolstered power-adjustable bucket seats, a flat-bottomed multifunction steering wheel and liquid crystal displays teamed with a full range of creature features including dual-zone auto climate control, HDD Navigation with rear-view camera and a Mark Levinson premium sound system.

Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager, summed up the status of the division's "F-line" enthusiast-grade flagship by noting that its development was unlike any other car in the portfolio. "Minute details were engineered to provide an engaging and serious supercar that delivers impressive performance on and off the race track. Only 500 will ever be built worldwide, and each will be assembled to customer order, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of a small, exclusive group of individuals." Construction of the first of LFAs will start in December 2010 and the run will be completed within 24 months. The price of admission for an LFA opens at a heady $350,000-$375,000, not including any of the myriad available "personalization" options.

Volvo Xc90

Volvo XC90 was by far the biggest news ever from Volvo when it was unveiled at the Detriot Auto Show in the beginning of 2002. The Volvo XC90 is a relatively compact SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle)

Volvo XC90 is the most flexible car ever built by Volvo. It seats up to seven passengers, all with equal safety, regardless of where in the car they are riding. Volvo XC90 drives lika car, but loads like a wagon, thanks to generous inner height and the easily accessible boot with the split folding tailgate, rather like the tailgate of the classic Volvo P220 Amazon Estate from 1962.

The Volvo XC90 was launched in early 2002 as the first purpose-built SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) to come from Volvo Cars. It is also Volvo’s first seven-seat car since the 1940s. The Volvo XC90 has electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive. It has the capacity to forge ahead on very poor roads, but is primarily intended as a spacious passenger car with excellent driving manners, immense safety and intelligent versatility.

Five-door SUV – a crossover model that combines the passenger car’s comfort and comfort with excellent get-you-there ability and flexibility. The Volvo XC90 is designed to give a robust yet at the same time compact and elegant impression. It is built as a passenger car, with a unitary body and the same type of chassis as that found in Volvo’s sedan models – unlike some other SUV models that are built on a truck chassis. The Volvo XC90 comes with five or seven seats, depending on specification. The passenger compartment is very spacious, thanks not least to Volvo’s modern powertrain concept with transverse engine installation. The seats are placed high to give the driver a commanding view over the traffic and the passengers a comfortable seating position. All the passenger seats can be folded. The tailgate is divided into an upper and a lower section. This makes the Volvo XC90 a very flexible and versatile car. The top model in the range is the exclusive Volvo XC90 Executive, which features equipment and comfort of exceptional quality.
