Continental

Continental has unveiled a new concept tire at the IAA Mobility show in Hanover, Germany. Called the Conti CityPlus, it takes an unusual approach to "tire efficiency," focusing on urban use rather than highway driving.

New modeling from researchers at Curtin University has simulated 300 million years of tectonic plate movement to predict the formation of a supercontinent called Amasia. The modeling estimates the Pacific Ocean closing and America colliding with Asia.

Geologists claim to have discovered a long-term cycle that may link the formation of Earth’s continents to our travels through the galaxy. The team claims a correlation between increased comet impacts and Earth crossing the galactic spiral arms.

Robotic EV charging might make topping off a battery easier, but it would be nice if it didn't terrify children in the process. Continental's new system drops snake-like appendages in favor of a floor plate that quickly connects to the vehicle.

Newly released maps of Zealandia, a massive sunken landmass, are revealing the topography of this underwater land in unprecedented detail. An interactive website has also been launched allowing users dynamic ways to explore the new data.

When did Earth's plate tectonics begin? A new study from Yale University claims to have found evidence that plate tectonics started about a billion years earlier than is currently thought, which places it very soon after the planet’s formation.

The instrument panel is about to start jumping out of car dashboards. Tier-one OEM supplier Continental has built a glasses-free, "auto-stereoscopic" 3D car display, and it's about to debut on the new Genesis GV80 SUV.

It’s hard to get a clear idea of the wild early days of Earth. But a new study by researchers from the University of Adelaide raises the possibility that continents may have risen out of the sea much earlier than is currently believed, before being destroyed once again by tectonic activity.​

As pretty as they look, automotive touchscreens can be less than ideal when driving. At CES 2018, Continental is showing a 3D automotive touchscreen that could offer more intuitive operation, using contours to better enable the user to find specific selections without having to glance over.

Continental AG has today announced that it will be bringing its induction charging pads for EVs along to CES next month, along with a new onboard charging system promised to give owners greater flexibility.

Continental's new head-up display (HUD) uses digital mirror device technology and advances HUD output a step closer to augmented reality, enhancing safety by better informing drivers and reducing driver distraction. It has been launched on the 2017 Lincoln Continental and the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Fresh from a dominant series of shootout victories in Europe, Continental's Road Attack 3 sports touring tires are beginning to make their presence felt in the rest of the world. New Atlas headed along to the Australian press launch to see what all the fuss is about.
