Industry News: March 2015

The Chicago Auto Show brought a bevy of new connected technology to the marketplace, along with a slew of high-end hybrids like the Porsche 918 Spyder (pictured below), which gets 67 miles per gallon and accelerates from 0-60 in 2.2 seconds (the fastest Car and Driver has ever tested). 

BMW also had a hybrid super car on display, the BMW i8. This speedy performer is a battery-powered vehicle that has the ability to go 0-60 mph in four seconds, yet still get 76 miles to the gallon.



One of the coolest applications of connectivity came from MedEx, an ambulance provider. The company has integrated Google Glass to enable advanced telemedicine and improve communications between paramedics and emergency room doctors. “At MedEx, we work hard to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to equipping our ambulances with the latest innovations,” said MedEx CEO Lauren Rubinson-Morris. “Google Glass is particularly helpful in medical situations involving health risks that require visual assessment for treatment, such as trauma, burns, cardiac arrest, strokes and seizures.”
