Announced
Continental Automotive Systems Division to Host Press Conference
WHAT: Continental Automotive Systems will host a press conference to
announce the winners of Machine Design Magazine's "Smart Car"
Ride and Drive event.
Contested for the seventh year by Machine Design, the Ride and
Drive competition recognizes the ever-changing technology in
today's automotive market. This year, sixteen vehicles followed
standard driving and parking procedures that allowed the drivers
to evaluate the quality, comfort and "driver friendliness" of the
emerging technologies. The two key components measured were
comfort and safety.
Winners from the four categories: Safety and Security; Highest IQ;
Best Value; and Judge's Award have been selected and will be
announced.
Immediately following the press conference, Continental will hold
a brief cake cutting ceremony in celebration of the company's
100th anniversary.
