Being behind the wheel of a 2017 Audi A4 is like driving an automobile of the future. Once you’re behind the wheel, choose which view you want on your Audi virtual cockpit. Navigating the road has never been easier, considering that all you have to do to see where you’re going is to look directly in front of you instead to your left or to your right. “The navigation is extraordinary and the car is very precise,” said a recent test driver.

It’s never been easier to sync your mobile phone, thanks to the standard Audi smartphone integration, which supports Apple CarPlay™ and Google™ Android Auto. That way, you can listen to your own music on Pandora or Spotify while cruising down the road. The Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System and customizable ambient LED interior lighting enhance your experience even more, turning your car into a roving nightclub.

When you’re parking the 2017 Audi A4 makes sure you’re in line when you back out, thanks to its 3D satellite imagery from Google Earth, which allows you to see just how precise your parking job is from above.

If somebody needs wifi, that’s not a problem, the 2017 Audi A4 is fully connected, so you can view the local traffic, news, and anything you could possibly imagine — except for maybe GrubHub delivered to your door.

Also, you’re always safe in the newest Audi A4. The Audi pre sense city system detects stationary vehicles, and those that are coming around the corner at speeds of up to 52mph and pedestrians also. Once it detects a potential collision, it can start full braking. How’s that for ensuring your safety?

Now add the class-leading standard 252-horsepower2 TFSI® engine, available quattro® all-wheel drive and sleek design, what more could you ask for?

We’ve been searching for the car of the future and the 2017 Audi A4 certainly hits all the sweet spots.

The Manual's Must-Haves Cigars
The first sampler you can pick up is the Olivia. These folks are a pretty big staple of the cigar world and have been making cigars since the 1800s. The 10-cigar sampler usually goes for $97 and includes a nice selection from Connecticut Reserve Toro to Serie O Maduro Robusto. Another bundle from an old-school Cigar maker is the La Aurora pack, which comes with a lot of classic flavors like La Aurora Preferidos 1903 and La Aurora 115 Anniversario. The 10-pack usually goes for $105, so it's pretty high-end, but this deal knocks it down to $20, so it's perfect if you've been wanting to try it out.

Netflix is planning to continue investing in gaming, including new co-op games

The company has had games on its service since 2023.

Even as Netflix is raising prices on consumers, the company has also announced that it will be introducing couch co-op and party games for subscribers. The company has offered cloud gaming as a "beta" to a subset of its subscribers since 2023, and the move into co-op games suggests that the streamer will continue to invest in this area.

Co-CEO Greg Peters made the announcement as part of the company's Q4 earnings report, but he didn't detail what games might be available through this new platform. “We think of this as a successor to family board game night or an evolution of what the game show on TV used to be," he explained.

The best adventure movies: The films that keep you on the edge of your seat

These adventure movies will take you to new parts of the world

Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark

The idea of an adventure movie is pretty specialized. These are movies that exist broadly within the world of action cinema, but they are just one small corner of that world. These movies typically involve exotic locations, traps, and tunnels. Sometimes, they're set in the jungle or the desert, and sometimes they're set on the high seas.

Personally, I'm partial to sea-faring movies, maybe in part because I have no desire to live my life on the water. In my own life, these movies have often represented a chance to understand the world, and to appreciate its vastness, splendor, and danger.
