The instrument cluster incorporates a central dial with a speedometer on the left and a lap timer on the right. Beyond aesthetic appeal, these designs leverage advanced technology, fulfilling Apple’s promise at the Worldwide Developers Conference to extract vehicle data for functionalities such as the speedometer, battery gauge, and fuel gauge. The overarching goal is to seamlessly integrate the iPhone experience into the vehicle, providing access to apps, contacts, and personalized settings through the infotainment system, while ensuring that car data remains private and is handled in a privacy-friendly manner.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal.
