Replace the new engine and test drive the Volkswagen Magotan 1.8TSI [Figure]

  Following the development of the new 1.8 TSI engine by Volkswagen, Taikoo Bida Automobile, the general agent in Taiwan Province, also quickly launched Passat 1.8 TSI equipped with this engine, which is the third model equipped with TSI gasoline engine introduced in Taiwan Province after Golf 1.4 TSI and Eos 2.0 TSI.



  The 1.8 TSI engine newly added to the Volkswagen lineup can be said to have three characteristics of "small engine, high horsepower and fuel saving". Although the exhaust vehicle is only 1.8 liters, its power output cannot be underestimated. In addition, under the rising global oil price and the niche of tax classification in Taiwan Province, I believe Passat 1.8 TSI will surely attract more consumers’ attention and make a red disk in the automobile market in Taiwan Province.



VW creates a young face with its U-shaped chrome-plated water tank shield.

A pair of tearful headlights further improve the recognition of Passat cars.

  Passat 1.8 TSI basically maintains the same appearance and luxurious characteristics as Passat, especially the U-shaped chrome-plated water tank shield with a wide area and the shape of four horizontal grids, which has become one of the most recognizable features. The upper edge is cut with the tear-eyed headlights on the left and right sides to simulate the watery eyes of the inner double eyelids. The lower air dam uses a consistent shape from both sides to the middle, giving Passat a steady face. The waistline on the side of the car is tall, and the chrome trim on the bottom adds a lot of points. A broken line is drawn from the front fender to the rear fender, which balances the appearance of the side, while the four six-spoke double-ribbed rims present a sense of dynamic branding in the texture. Looking at the rear of the car, the change of sheet metal parts replaces broken lines with curved surfaces, which also adds roundness and integration to Passat’s buttocks.



16-inch six-frame double rib patternThe rim adds a sense of fashion,

With practical oriented 205/55R16 tires,

It also adds a lot of points to fuel consumption and comfort performance.

  In the interior part, Passat 1.8 TSI is paved with aluminum/wood grain, which presents a unique cockpit texture under the mix of two materials. The front and rear seats are covered by genuine leather/suede (Napa, Alcantara), which not only has first-class visual effect, but also gives drivers and passengers a considerable degree of courtesy in touch and riding. In particular, the suede chair surface can improve the skid resistance of drivers and passengers in riding, so as not to cause disturbing sliding action when the vehicle turns or accelerates or decelerates. In addition, the driver’s seat is equipped with six-way electric adjustment and lumbar support function, which can give the driver the most convenient and comfortable driving environment. However, the three steering wheels do not integrate multi-function buttons, which is a pity of Passat 1.8 TSI.



The rear of Passat 1.8 TSI is rounded.

Modified the stiff feeling of the buttocks of the four-door RV.

Google I/O conference content summary: there are foxes in the map to show you the way

  On May 9, according to foreign media reports, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, Google’s annual I/O developer conference officially kicked off. In a brief keynote speech, the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, talked about how Google approaches product development with a "high sense of responsibility." After that, he handed the stage to his subordinates to showcase the company’s latest products and technologies.

  Google calls its latest operating system an "AI vision with the operating system at its core." Here are some of the new features it has previewed for the operating system, which could be released later this year.

  Simpler design. The new version of Android is going to be even simpler. At the bottom of the operating system, Android P replaces the three buttons with a single Home button. With this Home button, you can use shortcuts to open the five apps the operating system thinks you might want to open the most. Swipe up the screen again to reveal all the apps on your phone. Swipe left and right on the Home button to scroll through all the open apps.

  "shush "Quiet mode. Android P will have a new "shush" mode that turns off all notifications, vibrations and beeps when the phone is not in use. The goal is to allow users to focus more on the task at hand when they shouldn’t be checking the phone, such as when attending a meeting. Calls from important people (such as family members) will still be released.

  Calm mode. The new mode will turn your phone’s screen gray after an hour, which Google says will help stop you from using your phone in bed. But if you don’t want to sleep now, you can turn it off.

  Monitor application usage frequency. The Android app tool will show you how often you use certain apps. In the past, it only let you know how much battery those apps were consuming, but now it will also let you know how often you check your phone. You can also set up apps to remind yourself to stop using them.

  Rotation control. You will be able to control when the phone screen rotates: you don’t have to turn on or off the rotary lock switch specifically, the operating system will automatically display a small icon when you rotate the phone, allowing you to choose whether to turn off or open the rotary lock for a specific interface, but the general rotary lock will remain in its original state.

  On Android P For a specific screen, you can choose whether to rotate the screen.

  Better battery management capabilities. Android P knows which apps you use frequently and will try to burn power only on those apps. Google says that in testing Android P, the processor wakes up – how often the device turns on the processor – 30 percent less. It will also introduce adaptive brightness settings, where Android learns your brightness preferences.

  Apply action. Over time, Android will learn more about how you use your phone. If you always call your sister at night or go for a run after work, you’ll see those activity alerts on the launch screen. If you connect a headset, Android will suggest that you continue listening to the album you last listened to on Spotify. The Google search bar will now also support deep links for apps. For example, if you search for "Avengers: Infinity War" in the search bar, it will show you options to book tickets on Fandango or watch trailers on YouTube in search results suggestions.

  Fragment information. Developers will be able to add their own information to the Google search bar: for example, if you type "Lyft" to open the app, to get a taxi somewhere, you will see the time the car picked you up and the time it took to get to your home or office.

  ML Kit Machine learning toolkit. Various machine learning tools will be made available to developers to make their applications smarter. The ML Kit includes tools for image tagging, text recognition, facial recognition and other artificial intelligence tools developed by Google.

  Android P Beta version. Google will today launch a beta version of its next operating system, which will be available on select devices including the Pixel 2 and phones from Essential, OnePlus, Nokia, Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo and Sony.

  Google has not said when Android P will be fully released or what it stands for, but judging from the past few years, we are likely to learn more about it in the fall.

  Artificial intelligence update

  Google Assistant The natural dialogue. You don’t have to keep saying "Hey Google" to talk to your Google Assistant. Once you get the Assistant’s attention, you can naturally ask it follow-up questions. For example, you can have a conversation like this:

  "Hey Google, tell me about the Warriors’ game."

  "Okay."

  "Oh, can you turn off the lights?"

  Google will listen to and execute your orders.

  Ask multiple questions at once. Now, you’ll be able to give several questions and instructions at once, and Google Assistant will be able to deduce what you want to know when you ask several questions at once. On stage, Google asked: "Kevin, who was the governor of California when Kevin Durant was picked in the NBA draft? Who chose him?" Google Assistant successfully determined that these were independent questions, replying that Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor in 2007, the year Seattle elected Durant.

  Strengthen children’s polite behavior. Like its main rival in the virtual assistant market, Google announced that it was building a feature to enforce polite behavior when children ask Google Assistant questions. When people add the word "please" to the assistant’s request, it will say something like "Thank you for the polite inquiry" before replying.

  Natural sounds. Google has built a new sound structure called "Wavenet" into its virtual assistant, introducing six more natural sounds, including the melodious voice of the famous singer John Legend.

  Singer John, legendary as Google Assistant Record his voice.

  Other Google Assistant Update. Google is teaming up with Starbucks, Dunkin ‘Donuts, Dominos and others to introduce voice ordering for Google Assistant. You will soon be able to order your usual beverages directly from the app. Users will also be able to share their arrival time when navigating using Google Maps. Other forms of Google Assistant will also be updated, such as the upcoming Lenovo touch screen and other products that support Google Assistant, as well as cars with Google Auto, Google’s in-car system.

  Lens update. Google Lens, the computer vision technology built into Google Camera, now scans the real world in real time. Point your phone around you and it should be able to figure out what you’re looking at, whether it’s the name of a book, how tall a building is, or the breed of dog in front of you.

  Google says all of these features will be available later this year.

  TPU 3.0 Chip. Google also announced the third version of its Tensor Processing Unit, a chip designed for high-performance artificial intelligence devices. Pichai said the new version is eight times more functional than the version launched last year.

  Artificial intelligence phone

  Google announced a new feature for its Assistant called Duplex. In the future, users will be able to ask the Assistant to make various appointments, such as table reservations. The Assistant will call the merchant itself and make an appointment by talking to them.

  Pichai showed some conversations between the Google Assistant, which is tasked with making haircut appointments and determining whether a restaurant reservation is required, and a real person. While these conversations were relatively straightforward, in both cases they managed to make the human on the other end of the phone feel like he was talking to another person. Google Assistant even added modal words such as um and uh to the conversation.

  Pichai did not give a timeline for Duplex’s rollout to users. He said the company wants to get the technology ready before launching it around the world, but the demo was impressive and offered a glimpse into the company’s current AI research progress.

  Google Maps update

  Augmented reality in maps. Soon, when using Google Maps, you will be able to use your phone’s camera to ask the app to point you in the right direction to help you reach your destination. Floating arrows will appear on the map to guide you in the right direction. Google says it is also considering getting a cartoon fox to point you in the right direction. Turn on the camera on Google Maps and you will also get an augmented reality view of businesses and activities near you.

  Personalized Recommendations For You Google is introducing a new tab in Google Maps that shows what you should be interested in, including new businesses in your area, places you like (based on your past review history), and places the app knows you’ve visited. The latest information on the businesses you’ve visited will also be available in this tab, and soon you’ll be able to book directly on it too.

  Lists List. If you’re thinking about where to go for lunch with friends, instead of copying a bunch of links, you can make a simple list of potential restaurants on Google Maps and share it with your friends. Your friends can also add their own suggestions.

  These updates will be released later this summer.

    On Google Maps, a cartoon fox guides you.

    Gmail Help you write emails easily

  For many people, writing an email is an annoying task, and Google is going to make it easier for you. It’s about to launch an assistive technology called "smart compose" to help users complete the sentences they’re writing. When you start typing a common phrase or information Google knows about yourself, like your address, Gmail will now prompt you what to type. Press the tab key and it will write what it prompts.

  Google introduced "Smart Reply" to all users last month when it launched a new version of Gmail, and "smart compose" is arguably a super version of the feature. The new feature will be available to individual Gmail users in the coming weeks and to professional G Suite users in the coming months.

    Google Photos Update

  Google Photos will automatically identify users’ friends in photos and suggest they share them with those friends. Google has also introduced new special effects features, including the ability to colour old black-and-white photos. Users will also be able to convert photos of documents to PDF format, meaning there will be less need for scanners.

    The update of driverless cars

  Google gave Waymo, one of its Alphabet siblings, some stage time. John Krafcik, the company’s chief executive, announced that Waymo will launch a fully autonomous car-hailing service later this year. The service will initially launch in Phoenix, Arizona, one of Waymo’s recent test cities.

  Waymo CEO John Krafcik addressed Google I/O.

    Google News Update

  Google has rebuilt its news app around artificial intelligence. The app will continually show you five pieces of content it thinks will interest you. It will constantly search the web for local news and your search history to determine what you really want to know. It will also bring content from non-traditional news sources, including YouTube and podcasts. "Our artificial intelligence will constantly read the Internet’s news stream for you," Google said.

  It will also show you relevant information about the news, including headlines, tweets and other stories with more content, as well as a timeline of relevant coverage. This feature is called "full coverage." No matter what political leanings, no matter where you are, everyone will see the same information.

  You can also subscribe to newsletters through Google News. Instead of filling out a form on the news site and entering your credit card information, you can subscribe directly to the credit card stored in your Google account with the click of a button.

  The new version of Google News is available in 127 countries starting today and should be available to everyone by next week.          

Foreign media: The number of 5G patent applications in China is far ahead or exceeds that in the United States.

  Reference message networkReported on May 4 thAccording to foreign media, China accounts for 34% of the patent applications related to the new generation communication standard "5G", which is more than 1.5 times that of 4G. In the field of 4G, Europe and the United States have mastered the essential standard patents for manufacturing products, but in the field of 5G, which has attracted much attention as a new generation of industrial infrastructure, China’s presence has increased. The number of patents will also influence the cultivation of new industries such as driverless driving and the national strength of the new era.

  "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported on May 3 that standard essential patents are irreplaceable technology patents in promoting business, and about 2% of the ex-factory price of 4G smartphones is patent royalties. According to Japanese intellectual property sources, the total annual (4G patent royalties) is about 1 trillion yen (about 9 billion US dollars, and 100 yen is about 6 yuan RMB), and the enterprises with patents are the main participants.

  According to the statistics of Puliti Company, a German patent data company, as of March, China accounted for 34.02% of the applications for essential patents of 5G communication standards, with Huawei Technologies as the company with the largest number of applications, accounting for 15.05%, ZTE Corporation as the fifth and China Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology as the ninth.

  According to the report, the United States and Europe have taken the lead in communication technology and mastered the main patents of 3G and 4G. Therefore, China has to pay huge royalties to European and American enterprises.

  Therefore, China listed the new generation information technology industry as a key development project, and promoted the research and development of 5G related technologies throughout the country. Including Huawei’s 5G, the R&D expenditure reaches more than 10 billion US dollars every year (1 US dollar is equivalent to 6.7 yuan RMB).

  According to the report, Huawei has applied for more patents related to base station development, surpassing Ericsson in Sweden and Nokia in Finland. ZTE’s share in base stations is also expanding. Samsung galaxy and LG Electronics ranked third and fourth respectively, and South Korea’s overall share was 25.23%, which was more than two percentage points higher than that of 4G.

  The share of the United States is 14%, which is two percentage points lower than that of 4G. Qualcomm, which holds patents such as smart phone semiconductors, is a major participant in 4G, and its share in the 5G field has declined, ranking sixth.

  According to the report, in the field of communication, technology patents are cumulative, and even if they are developed to 5G, 3G and 4G patents, they will continue to be used. Qualcomm’s advantages will not disappear suddenly. The company’s patent licensing business sales in the first quarter reached 1.122 billion US dollars. Japan’s share is about 5%, which is about 4 percentage points lower than that of 4G. According to the share of enterprises, Fujitsu ranks 12th. It is said that Fujitsu holds a number of 5G related technologies, including sending radio waves to target locations.

  Great changes have taken place in Dashuigou Village, Kang County. Regarding the past, they always like to say that "sunny days are covered with soil, rainy days are covered with mud." Grandma Liu said that the front of the house was originally a vegetable field, and people were walking in muddy ditches.

  Now the stinking ditch has become a clear stream, and the stone road next to it goes straight to the entrance of the village.

  At first, they didn’t expect that waves of tourists would come to the countryside to experience life, and it was always incredible to hear that others envied their lives.

  Nowadays, when they talk about the changes in their hometown, they always laugh.

  Respecting tradition and history makes the countryside more local.

  The construction of beautiful countryside is by no means a big demolition, but a respect for history and tradition, making the countryside more local.

  In Zhujiagou Village, Anmenkou Town, Kang County, the Zhujiagou Courtyard, which has a history of more than 200 years, has been renovated and attracted many tourists. Hou Caiying, 65, lives in her old house, and sometimes tells the history of the old house for tourists.

  Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the village has become beautiful. Now, efforts are being made to develop a rich industry that can retain talented people, get rich people and remember homesickness.

  In Huaqiao Village, a tourist reception center and a country hotel have been built by attracting investment, including go on road trip RV campsite and more than a dozen homestays.

  Villager Xu Dehua transformed his house into a farmhouse inn, with less than 10 rooms, almost full every weekend, with an average monthly income of 10 thousand yuan. Nowadays, there are more and more people running homestays in the village.

  Here, we have explored and improved three modes of poverty alleviation: "Association+Enterprise+Poor Households", "Leading Enterprise+Industry+Poor Households" and "Branch+Association+Poor Households", and received a total of 480,000 tourists (times), achieving a comprehensive tourism income of more than 13.1 million yuan, driving the income of 680 poor households in the village and surrounding villages.

  Beautiful countryside also has a secret "other world"

  Under the Millennium Bodhi tree in Huaqiao Village, there is a red ribbon tied with people praying for a happy marriage.

  The Millennium willow tree in Zhujiagou Village has become a witness to the development history of Kang County.

  Under the sister ginkgo tree in Dashuigou Village, rich intangible cultural remains are staged here … …

  The best judgment of whether the environment of a place is good or not is to look at the plants here and let the animals talk. During the construction of beautiful countryside, while improving the living environment, all localities also pay attention to their living environment and protect the "other world" from being disturbed.

  Villagers in Dashuigou are familiar with wild boar. Villager Xiao Jiuqian said that in the past, sometimes wild boar could destroy all crops in one night. Later, when building a new countryside, the village simply returned the land in the deep mountains to forests to make way for wild boar.

  Zhu Yanjie, deputy secretary of the Party branch of Zhujiagou Village, told reporters that there are bears, wild boars, green deer, pheasants and golden pheasants living around, and their footprints will be seen in the mountains, and sometimes they will be met.

  Here, the secret "other world" is not disturbed because of the construction of beautiful countryside.

  In the city, the voices of human beings come and go, but the world of animals is silent. Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people like to experience life in the countryside.

US Vice President Harris was in a car accident on his way to work: Is the Secret Service still "reliable"?

According to the latest report on the 6th, US Vice President Harris suffered a car accident on his way to work on Monday, but he was not injured. However, this incident worried both Director united states secret service and the Vice President, and once again triggered doubts about the Secret Service.
According to two people familiar with the matter, a motorcade carrying Harris to work had a bicycle accident on a closed road in Washington on Monday morning local time. An SUV driven by Agent united states secret service drove Harris into the curb of a tunnel in the city center. Because the accident caused the vehicle to need to change tires, Secret Service agents had to transfer Harris to another car in the convoy before finally sending her to the White House safely.
According to reports, united states secret service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that the cause of the accident was that the driver swerved excessively while driving.
U.S. Vice President Harris
Unexplained accident
The head of the Secret Service was "kept in the dark" for the first time.
However, because the agents in charge of driving the president and vice president’s vehicles have received high-level training, accidents in routine work like this have puzzled many Secret Service personnel, even Harris himself.
According to the report, the Secret Service personnel did not mention the key details of the incident in the official email that reported the delay of Harris Team to their superiors. The agency’s protection intelligence department only wrote in the report that during the scheduled trip to the White House, the "mechanical failure" of the lead car forced the agent to transfer Harris to another car.
A person familiar with the matter said that it was not until Monday afternoon that Secret Service Director Kim Chettle received a message from other agents, saying that the email did not accurately convey the truth. In fact, many other Secret Service agents around Harris and the White House know that Harris’s driver hit the sidewalk of the tunnel.
Guglielmi confirmed the news, saying that the agents did not disclose all the details of the problems in the vice president’s motorcade in the formal written warning at first, but later reported the situation to their superiors in person. He explained: "The initial radio communication showed that this was a mechanical failure. After the protection operation was completed, the leadership was verbally updated with additional relevant facts, that is, the vehicle hit the curb. "
A witness photographed Harris’ motorcade stuck at the tunnel entrance.
There are many "black history"
The accident once again triggered public concern about the Secret Service.
It is reported that because united states secret service has a "long and troublesome history" in covering up his mistakes and misconduct, the accident has once again aroused people’s concerns about the agency. An official of the Secret Service revealed that Kim Chettle had told people around her that she was uneasy about the inaccuracy of the Harris accident warning, and "I was relieved when I learned more comprehensive information later that day."
According to the report, united states secret service’s top officials and managers often rely on the "presidential security cloak" to cover up their weaknesses and failures. In 2011, there was a shooting incident in the White House. Under the "misleading" of the Secret Service, the American public and the first family thought that "this is a group of gang members shooting at each other". But in fact, the real information obtained by the Secret Service is that the gunman tried to kill the then US President Barack Obama.
In 2014, a veteran with mental problems successfully jumped over the fence and broke into the White House. The Secret Service tried to cover up his mistakes and provided wrong information. According to the report of the Secret Service, the man was unarmed, but in fact he was armed. The report also claimed that the man was detained by Secret Service personnel at the main entrance of the White House, but in fact he broke into the main building of the White House after subduing a Secret Service official, and was finally caught in the East Wing of the White House.
In 2015, the Secret Service was caught in a public opinion dispute because of the bomb investigation that disturbed the White House. According to reports, after drinking all night, the top agent in charge of White House security affairs and another senior executive drove into the White House, crossed the cordon and entered a scene where a bomb investigation was going on. Subsequently, the vehicle driven by the two men hit a temporary roadblock and stopped directly next to the suspicious bomb package.
According to reports, although dozens of secret service staff knew about it, no one reported it to the director at that time. Five days after the incident, Joseph Clancy, then director of the Secret Service, learned about the safety accident from a former agent and friend.
