ALL-NEW 2023 Honda Pilot
Three-row midsize SUVs are excellent choices for growing families, and the Honda Pilot was the go-to choice until the Kia Telluride arrived in 2020. The redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot looks to recapture the top spot with a host of changes and upgrades. The new Pilot is 3.4 inches longer than its predecessor, resulting in more legroom for second and third-row passengers. It also increases cargo capacity to class-leading dimensions.
On the outside, the new Pilot has a more upright, utilitarian shape, giving it a strong presence that suits the updated TrailSport off-road model. The previous TrailSport was more of an appearance package, but the new model has legitimate off-road capabilities. Inside, a new removable second-row center seat provides unparalleled versatility, too.
Given the numerous enhancements and improvements, the 2023 Honda Pilot has the right stuff to better challenge the Telluride and related Hyundai Palisade.
Fuel economy estimates have not yet been released by the Environmental Protection Agency, but we expect the 2023 Honda Pilot to return similar or slightly better figures than the 2022 Pilot, which was rated at 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg for highway driving. All-wheel-drive models earn 19/25 mpg city/highway.

2023 Hyundai Palisade | Review & Road Test
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For the latest Hyundai Palisade pricing and information: This is the Hyundai Palisade and as you can see, it’s gotten some work done. With a revised front fascia, interior, and the introduction of a new rugged trim, it’s received, all together now, a mid-cycle refresh. Here’s some quick details. Introduced in 2020, this is Hyundai’s biggest vehicle. It’s a 7 or 8 seat mid-size SUV that shook up the car market when it arrived, presenting a practical and stylish alternative to its competition. Propelling Hyundai’s big boy is still a 3.8L V6 making 291 hp (291 hp/ 262 lb-ft) linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard and AWD is available on all trims for an extra $1,900. Fuel economy on par with the segment (FWD 19 city / 27 hwy, graphic: AWD 19 city/ 25 hwy) but a hybrid option would be nice right about now, and if you plan on towing the Palisade has a Max tow capacity of 5000 lbs. In the cargo area there’s (18 cu-ft) behind the 3rd row, fold down the 3rd row seats for (45.8 cu-ft), and for maximum volume, the second and 3rd row folded yields (86.4 cu-ft). And on the subject of seats, 8 passenger seating is only available on the lowest 2 SE and SEL trims. Higher trims feature captains chairs. Applied to the pavement, the Palisade drives well. It has predictable handling and provides a graceful and confident ride. Honestly the Palisade has some easy road manners, which is good because if you’re using this to haul around family, you want the easiest ride you can get. Visibility is good in the but if you do need it, there’s standard blind spot monitoring. Some other standard safety features will include forward collision assist with pedestrian detection, Lane follow and lane keep assist, and navigation based smart cruise control with stop & go and curve control. Power delivery in the Palisade is adequate, put your foot down and it gets you moving. I like that the V6 has a pretty linear power delivery that you won’t really feel on a lot of turbo powered SUVS. Base MSRP is $34,950 not including destination charges for an SE trim which includes the standard features mentioned earlier, AC vents in all 3 rows, paddle shifters, LED headlights, and highway driving assist. Wanna stand out? Check out that new XRT trim starting at $40,250 that’ll give you rugged aesthetics like a dark grille, black lower bumpers in front and black, and skid plate accents, 20” black alloy wheels, Black roof Rails, a lower door garnish, and the XRT badge. And if you’re considering taking the luxury route, the Calligraphy trim starting at $48,900 includes these 20 inch alloy wheels, Chrome exterior accents, digital rear view mirror, ambient lighting, and nappa leather seats with Hyundai’s “driver’s ergo motion seat”, which is basically a seat massager. Competitors include so many SUVS like the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Volkswagen Atlas, Nissan Pathfinder, and can’t forget its platform-mate the Kia Telluride. The Palisade is a satisfying SUV that continues to stand out in a world of midsize SUVS. And now with its new facelift, rugged trim, and upscale interior, you really can’t deny yourself a second look at what Hyundai is offering. 00:00 2023 Hyundai Palisade 0:43 Engine 1:10 Interior 4:04 Driving Impressions 6:17 Pricing 8:08 Competitors

 VR and AR equipment are showing significant promise in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here experts share how companies are benefiting from the technologies in three major areas.
Alternative reality platforms such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and extended reality were touted as the next generation of computing platforms for years -- an idea which has not materialized despite billions of investments, until now.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there recently has been a big push for more adoption of the technology. The sudden need for virtual meetings, remote collaboration, more efficient workflows and reduced IT costs is working in favor of VR and AR in the enterprise.
Here, experts share their experience on the innovative use of VR and AR technology during the pandemic and what the future holds for the industry.
Training and education
One of the most profound impacts of VR is in the training and education space, and for several good reasons, including its speed.
According to Derek Belch, CEO and co-founder of Strivr, an immersive learning solutions provider, VR equipment has enabled Walmart to reduce the time spent training associates -- from eight hours to 15 minutes. Additionally, when Walmart rolls out new equipment, the training can take place even before the machinery arrives.
Tumblr media
Derek Belch
VR not only saves the need for employees and trainers to travel, but also spares companies or manufacturers from shutting down an active line for the sake of training frontline workers on safety measures. "Immersive environments allow for mistakes and repetition," Belch said. "In VR, mistakes are free."
The use of VR also allows employees to receive training on critical situations, as is the case with Verizon, which is using the technology to train 22,000 employees on how to react to situations such as an armed robbery. "VR allows them to experientially go through the critical steps of de-escalating a high-risk moment and to make the right decisions under intense pressure," Belch pointed out.
Tumblr media
Ankur Aggarwal
Similarly, Veative Labs offers employees in the power, oil and gas industry a safe training environment where they can learn in a simulated world without being exposed to the hazards. "We are able to assess their performance and compare the employees and determine if they are ready for a certain task or not," said Ankur Aggarwal, CEO at the immersive technology solutions company.
Tumblr media
Dave Dolan
In addition, there are some trainings that just wouldn't be possible without the use of AR and VR technology. Healthcare practitioners rely on cadavers to learn the human anatomy, which is a mandatory practice for training doctors, dentists, as well as surgeons. Unfortunately, the donation of cadavers is at an all-time low, while demand is higher than ever. As demonstrated by MAI's BodyMap, which calls itself the Google Maps of the human body, physicians can train in VR without needing to dissect a real human body -- and without ever going short of supply.
Tumblr media
Mattney Beck
While training in VR also cuts costs considerably, there is a bigger reward, according to Dave Dolan, chief product officer at Veative Labs: People learn better when they do something, compared to when they read about it, he said. The distraction-free and judgment-free environment of VR training helps users focus on learning and enables them to understand a topic further.
Mattney Beck, senior manager of product marketing at Lenovo, backs up this assessment. "Case studies generally show VR offers better and faster learning, with some learning situations proving a 75% retention rate versus only 5% using traditional, lecture style methods," Beck said. "In addition, a 30%-40% increase in learning times and 30%-40% fewer mistakes compared to those conventionally trained can be achieved."
Remote collaboration
The benefits of AR and VR in the enterprise go beyond the training period, as the technologies can be used to offer field assistance. Veative Labs is using mixed reality to provide frontline workers information about the components they are working on, as well as real-time equipment performance data. By connecting the system to output data from IoT sensors, the safety of the frontline workers is greatly improved. For example, the workers are warned if a certain component is too hot for maintenance and should be revisited later.
The same system also allows users to remotely connect to an expert who can view what they are seeing and offer remote assistance. TeamViewer, a company known for remote connectivity solutions, has released an AR-based platform called Pilot, which lets enterprise technicians, as well as medical professionals, connect to a remote expert who can draw, add text or tag real-world objects to the video stream with 3D markers for reference.
Marketing
Speaking of travel, one popular trend within the VR industry is performing a virtual walkthrough. Because of travel restrictions, universities and companies across several industries found VR and AR as a better alternative to offer remote walkthroughs to their potential clients. Even exhibitions can be set up and attended remotely.
Tumblr media
Matthew Key
The added benefit, aside from social distancing, is the ability to alter the exhibited items on the go. For example, a car customer can view a vehicle in different colors before making a purchase. But the technology can also be used in a much more functional purpose. According to Matthew Key, founder and managing director at Engine Creative, the AR experience can make use of hotspots to highlight more information. "Visitors were able to interact with a Honda Civic car and delve into the different engine parts and specifications," he said.
The use of VR and AR enables customers to interact before purchasing and shops have found it as a way to reduce the staggering number of products ordered online that is currently hovering around 30%.
"With COVID-19, we've seen a surge of inquiries to transform retail shopping environments into augmented and virtual experiences that let shoppers navigate [the store] in their own homes," Key added.
The future of VR and AR in the enterprise
Tumblr media
Jon Cheney
In 2019, IDC predicted that spending on AR and VR will reach $160 million in 2023, while PwC predicted a $1.5 trillion market by 2030. Both assessments were conducted before the pandemic, which is already creating a significant boost in the industry. "Since the beginning of March [2020], when much of physical retail shut down, we've seen a 600% increase in AR usage through our customers' websites," said Jon Cheney, co-founder and CEO at Seek, a web-based AR solutions platform. "Our customer data shows conversion rates are increasing anywhere from 10% to as much as 200%."
We'll most likely see another boost come from 5G technology, which enables the use of more lightweight devices, making the headsets more suitable for long-term wearing.

Will ‘flying cars’ take off? Japan’s government hopes so
TOKYO — Electric drones booked through smartphones pick people up from office rooftops, shortening travel time by hours, reducing the need for parking and clearing smog from the air.
This vision of the future is driving the Japanese government’s “flying car” project. Major carrier All Nippon Airways, electronics company NEC Corp. and more than a dozen other companies and academic experts hope to have a road map ready by the year’s end.
“This is such a totally new sector Japan has a good chance for not falling behind,” said Fumiaki Ebihara, the government official in charge of the project.
Nobody believes people are going to be zipping around in flying cars any time soon. Many hurdles remain, such as battery life, the need for regulations and, of course, safety concerns. But dozens of similar projects are popping up around the world.
A flying car is defined as an aircraft that’s electric, or hybrid electric, with driverless capabilities, that can land and takeoff vertically.
They are often called EVtol, which stands for “electric vertical takeoff and landing” aircraft.
All the flying car concepts, which are like drones big enough to hold humans, promise to be better than helicopters, which are expensive to maintain, noisy to fly and require trained pilots, Ebihara and other proponents say.
“You may think of ‘Back to the Future,’ ‘Gundam,’ or ‘Doraemon,”‘ Ebihara said, referring to vehicles of flight in a Hollywood film and in Japanese cartoons featuring robots. “Up to now, it was just a dream, but with innovations in motors and batteries, it’s time for it to become real.”
Google, drone company Ehang and car manufacturer Geely in China, and Volkswagen AG of Germany have invested in flying car technology.
Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. said they had nothing to say about flying cars, but Toyota Motor Corp. recently invested $500 million in working with Uber on self-driving technology for the ride-hailing service. Toyota group companies have also invested 42.5 million yen ($375,000) in a Japanese startup, Cartivator, that is working on a flying car.
The hope is to fly up and light the torch at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but it’s unclear it will meet that goal: at a demonstration last year the device crashed after it rose to slightly higher than eye level. A video of a more recent demonstration suggests it’s now flying more stably, though it’s being tested indoors, unmanned and chained so it won’t fly away.
There are plenty of skeptics.
Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Inc., says even toy drones are noisy and blow a lot of air, which means anything that would be “1,000 times heavier” isn’t practical.
“If you want a flying car, just put wheels on a helicopter,” he said in a recent interview with podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan on YouTube. “Your neighbours are not going to be happy if you land a flying car in your backyard or on your rooftop.”
Though the Japanese government has resisted Uber’s efforts to offer ride-hailing services in Japan, limiting it to partnerships with taxi companies, it has eagerly embraced the U.S. company’s work on EVtol machines.
Uber says it is considering Tokyo as its first launch city for affordable flights via its UberAir service. It says Los Angeles and Dallas, Texas, and locations in Australia, Brazil, France and India are other possible locations.
Unlike regular airplanes, with their aerodynamic design and two wings, Uber’s “Elevate” structures look like small jets with several propellers on top. The company says it plans flight demonstrations as soon as 2020 and a commercial service by 2023.
Uber’s vision calls for using heliports on rooftops, but new multi-floored construction similar to parking lots for cars will likely be needed to accommodate so many more EVtol aircraft, if the service takes off.
Unmanned drones are legal in Japan, the U.S. and other countries, but there are restrictions on where they can be flown and requirements for getting approval in advance. In Japan, drone flyers can be licensed if they take classes. There is no requirement like drivers licenses for cars.
Flying passengers over populated areas would take a quantum leap in technology, overhauling aviation regulations and air traffic safety controls, along with major efforts both to ensure safety and convince people it’s safe.
Uber said at a recent presentation in Tokyo that it envisions a route between the city’s two international airports, among others.
“This is not a rich person’s toy. This is a mass market solution,” said Adam Warmoth, product manager at Uber Elevate.
Concepts for flying cars vary greatly. Some resemble vehicles with several propellers on top while others look more like a boat with a seat over the propellers.
Ebihara, the flying-car chief at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, says Japan is on board for “Blade Runner” style travel — despite its plentiful, efficient and well developed public transportation.
Japan’s auto and electronics industries have the technology and ability to produce super-light materials that could give the nation an edge in the flying car business, he said.
Just as the automobile vanquished horse-drawn carriages, moving short-distance transport into the air could in theory bring a sea change in how people live, Ebihara said, pointing to the sky outside the ministry building to stress how empty it was compared to the streets below.
Flying also has the allure of a bird’s eye view, the stuff of drone videos increasingly used in filmmaking, tourism promotion and journalism.
Atsushi Taguchi, a “drone grapher,” as specialists in drone video are called, expects test flights can be carried out even if flying cars won’t become a reality for years since the basic technology for stable flying already exists with recent advances in sensors, robotics and digital cameras.
A growing labour shortage in deliveries in Japan is adding to the pressures to realize such technology, though there are risks, said Taguchi, who teaches at the Tokyo film school Digital Hollywood.
The propellers on commercially sold drones today are dangerous, and some of his students have lost fingers with improper flying. The bigger propellers needed for vertical flight would increase the hazards and might need to be covered.
The devices might need parachutes to soften crash landings, or might have to explode into small bits to ensure pieces hitting the ground would be smaller.
“I think one of the biggest hurdles is safety,” said Taguchi. “And anything that flies will by definition crash.”
