As I get older, I could use 4 of them. Long before the autonomous parking feature, there were these accessories that appear to be patented for the first time in the 1930s. 


From Wiki:

Curb feelers or curb finders are springs or wires installed on a vehicle which act as "whiskers" to alert drivers when they are at the right distance from the curb while parking. 

The devices are fitted low on the body, close to the wheels. As the vehicle approaches the curb, the protruding feelers scrape against the curb, making a noise and alerting the driver in time to avoid damaging the wheels or hubcaps. The feelers are manufactured to be flexible and do not break easily.

Silahkan membaca berita terbaru tentang otomotif berjudul Las Imágenes: Mercedes Presenta el "W13" di website Batlax Auto.




La escudería reinante de la Fórmula 1 presenta el "W13" el monoplaza que manejaran Hamilton y Russell para la presente temporada y siguiendo las nuevas regulaciones técnicas, recordemos que Mercedes viene de ganar el campeonato de Constructores en los últimos 8 años seguidos, aunque no han faltado las controversias, y por ende quieren seguir haciéndolo en esta nueva era. 
 
Mercedes y Hamilton han estado en los focos últimamente por que parece que no olvidan el hecho de haber perdido el título de pilotos por culpa de Masi según ellos, incluso Hamilton amenazó que se iba si no cambiaban las cosas y listo, Masi ya no estará al frente de las carreras para alegrarle las cosas a este mentiroso y escudería mal perdedora, y ahora afirman que con este pelearan sin problemas contra Red Bull y Verstappen.

Hay cambios como la llegada de Russell, un buen piloto que esperemos lo dejen correr y no lo usen como una nueva versión de Bottas, en detrimento de favorecer al otro, en cuanto al monoplaza, pues ahora vuelve a ser gris con pinceladas de turquesa, un toque de rojo, negro y con el logo colocado en el cuerpo del monoplaza que lejos de ser vistoso para mi, se ve un poco horrible, aunque el staff afirma haber creado una obra de arte. 

El W13 tomará la pista por primera vez, el viernes por la tarde en horario local y completara las vueltas permitidas para la filmación en Silverstone con un limite de 100kms., y luego saldrán rumbo a Barcelona por tres días para tomar parte de las pruebas de pre-temporada la próxima semana.

La Noticia: El Grand Prix De Estados Unidos Renovado Hasta el 2026

Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:31 PM PST

Silahkan membaca berita terbaru tentang otomotif berjudul La Noticia: El Grand Prix De Estados Unidos Renovado Hasta el 2026 di website Batlax Auto.
La Fórmula 1 acaba de anunciar una extensión de cinco años hasta el 2026 con el COTA (Circuit Of The Americas) en Austin, Texas, en donde se lleva acabo el Grand Prix de Estados Unidos. El anuncio viene luego de un momento en que la F1 esta gozando de un resurgimiento e interés en los Estados Unidos, tras un dura época de encierro debido a la pandemia global. 
 
Con un record de 400,000 personas que asistieron al último celebrado en el 2021, en donde Verstappen logró su primera victoria en suelo Estadounidense, recordemos que la primera carrera en el moderno COTA tuvo lugar en el 2012, con un total de 100,000 asistentes.  

Stefano Domenicali Presidente & CEO de la Fórmula 1 dijo: Estamos muy encantados de anunciar la extensión en el COTA antes del inicio de una nueva temporada, a lo que agradecemos a los promotores por su determinación y coraje de hacer continuar el entusiasmo por la F1, cosa que hay que aprovechar en estos momentos en que el publico en Estados Unidos esta entendiendo y gozando con las ediciones que Netflix el ha dedicado a la categoría, el trabajo de ESPN y por supuesto a la gran temporada que acabamos de tener.

En los últimos años, El Grand Prix de los Estados Unidos se ha convertido en un magno evento, la pista es hermosa, y el auge que ha estado teniendo en los últimos años, le ha dado un valor en oro a toda la logística, aunque deseamos ver un Grand Prix en los escenarios tradicionales como Watkins Glen, o quizás Laguna Seca por ser pistas de antaño que pueden ofrecer un desafió extra a los pilotos y no tanto circuito callejero.

A 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300 as a Mobile Laboratory

Silahkan membaca berita terbaru tentang otomotif berjudul A 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300 as a Mobile Laboratory di website Batlax Auto.

Mercedes-Benz 300 (W 189) as a measuring car. The one-off model was built in 1960. For vehicle development purposes, this unique vehicle was connected to the development vehicle via a cable, thus enabling it to record data from sensors providing dynamic measurements. Photo on the test track in Untertürkheim. These days, the vehicle can be seen in the Mercedes-Benz Museum, Legend Room 5: Visionaries – Safety and the Environment. (Photo index number in the Mercedes-Benz Classic Archives: 1995M169)

This Mercedes-Benz 300 in Legend Room 5 of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is doubly striking. Firstly because of the long cable connecting it to a Mercedes-Benz 220 S (W 111) – and then because only one half of the car looks like a normal "Adenauer" (as this representative vehicle is called due to the first German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's preference for the model). The difference begins behind the B-pillar: from that point back stretches an elegant, elongated rear end generously glazed with panoramic windows, reminiscent of an estate car. Beautifully shaped tail lights, along with exhaust tips integrated into the bumper, catch the eye. Then the surprise inside, where we find numerous measuring instruments as well as two individual seats with narrow, wickerwork backrests – rather like garden chairs.

Tailor-made: The very individually constructed and equipped vehicle is resolutely configured for its intended use. This is because this one-off model was built by Mercedes-Benz in 1960 as a measuring car for the development engineers in the testing department. The elegant Mercedes-Benz saloon in the W 189 series was chosen as its basis because of the need for a fast and large vehicle. After all, the measuring car not only had to follow other vehicles effortlessly, it also had to be able to transport the voluminous measuring equipment.

Mobile laboratory: For many years, the converted Mercedes-Benz 300 was used successfully as a rolling measurement laboratory. For this purpose, it was connected to another vehicle via a cable up to 30 metres long – a kind of early "local area network" (LAN). The line transmitted sensor data to sensitive measuring devices in the rear.

Continuous improvement: Using innovation to make ever better use of what is technically possible – this ideal has driven vehicle development at Mercedes-Benz since the invention of the automobile in 1886. From the middle of the 20th century onwards, sensor data became increasingly important. It provided engineers with valuable information about whether an invention worked as desired, or how it could still be improved. But there was a problem: the measuring instruments in the 1950s were large, heavy, and sensitive. In the development vehicle itself, they would influence the driving characteristics – and also be shaken around a lot, e.g. on the "boneshaker" track. No, that just wouldn't do.

Key role: The solution was ingeniously simple. Mercedes-Benz split the sensor technology and the acquisition of measurement data between two vehicles – and so the measuring car was born. While the development engineers guided the prototype through the desired dynamic handling tests, the more quietly rolling laboratory followed at a distance and received the measurement data, e.g. from the shock absorbers, via the cable. Telemetry is the name of this sort of data transmission, subsequently accomplished via radio signals. In most cases, the sensor data was recorded in the measuring car on magnetic tape and evaluated later in peace and quiet.

Rolling workplace: A look inside the measuring car shows that the engineers did not enjoy top comfort. Headroom is limited, and the two seats have simple garden chair backs in woven rattan. Plus the glazing probably not only let a lot of light into the interior on sunny days, but also created something of a greenhouse climate. At least the body has ventilation openings on the sides.

Special equipment: The prototype can transmit fourteen measured values simultaneously to the mobile laboratory – not a bad value at the time. Every bit of space in the rear of the 300 is utilised for the sensitive devices, always specifically selected for the respective measuring programme. To supply these with electricity, there is also a generator on board. And, of course, there is also a radio link between the two vehicles.

Fast: This special Mercedes-Benz 300 is powered by the injection engine from the later version of the W 189 (1957 to 1962), which develops 118 kW (160 hp). A contemporary description states 120 km/h as the maximum speed. A normal "Adenauer" with automatic transmission could reach 165 km/h. The measuring car was used until the 1970s, mainly on the test track in Untertürkheim. But it also has road approval, and thus a registration number: S-MH 867.

Pushing boundaries: Today, the entire data acquisition system travels with the prototype. Modern sensor and computer technology makes this possible, being lighter and smaller. The number of simultaneously recorded measuring channels has also increased considerably: the milestone figure of 1,000 has long been exceeded. Indeed, the developers' hunger for knowledge is greater than ever. But this also remains their motivation: to make the car of tomorrow even better. With every new Mercedes-Benz.
