Audi Unveils 2nd Generation A7: TFLnews Weekly Roundup [Video]

Nik Miles is back to give us the TFLnews Weekly Roundup. Here are this week’s top stories:

Nissan

Nissan have announced that the Rogue SUV will receive semi-autonomous driving capabilities. Called ProPilot Assist, this technology will help drivers maintain lane control, navigate stop and go traffic, maintain set vehicle speed, and maintain a set distance from other vehicles in front. Buyers can spec this option on the 2018 Nissan Rogue SL Platinum Package.

Polestar will be delivering the Polestar 1 on a subscription-only basis. Effectively, this is a lease of the car, plus some amenities such as concierge service, equipment rentals and even day to day vehicle swaps if you find yourself in need of something with a little extra room.
