Which QNX concept car would you rather drive?

Paul Leroux

Last year, my QNX colleagues created a concept car out of a Chevy Corvette. This year, they created one out of a Porsche 911 Carrera. Both cars are tricked out with cool QNX-based infotainment systems, though the systems in the Porsche, being newer, are decidedly more sophisticated and forward looking.

But let's ignore the infotainment features for a moment. If you had an opportunity to drive both cars at full throttle, which do you think you'd prefer?

I've yet to drive the Porsche, and I haven't had a chance to red-line either car. So realistically, I couldn't begin to draw a comparison between the two. In any case, the old saw about comparing apples to oranges quickly comes to mind. But for anyone who likes shoot-outs between raw American power and refined European performance, here's a new Motor Trend video that pits a Corvette Grand Sport against a 911 Carrera S. These aren't the exact same models used by QNX, but it's a great head-to-head video nonetheless:



So, tell me, are you a Corvette man (or woman)? Or are you 911 the way? And did the video change your mind any?

When to Fuel?

In the majority of vehicle owners will do so refueling the fuel tank is empty alias exhausted. It is indeed true but there was just time to refuel recommended. Of course there's a reason that is your saving efforts. So, when is the best time to refuel?

A. Refueling should be done at night because:

* Each of the fuel vaporization process occurs, if the charging is done at night will reduce the evaporation process. Because at night the amount of evaporation would be less than during the day.

* Due to the amount of fuel that evaporates less at night it means reducing the risk of fuel burned in any given content which makes it much less exposed to heat quickly burned during the day.

2. Let's not wait for the fuel tank is completely empty to refuel. ¼ It is advisable to leave the fuel during charging. Because when the fuel tank is completely empty

there will be more water condensation in the tank. It affects the quality of fuel.

3. Do not forget to always check the fuel supply indicators at all times so that you can control the fuel injection and not run out on the road. [erf/cbrmn/oto]
