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.

Will Max’s new thriller Duster be your next must-watch show?

J.J. Abrams' newest thriller is coming soon

Max has become the home to some of the most fascinating and innovative shows on TV. Fans can trust that the HBO-affiliated streamer has tons of originals and plenty of old favorites from trusted creators, and that trend will continue with their newest offering titled Duster. This thriller comes from the mind of the esteemed J.J. Abrams and stars his fellow Lost alum, Josh Holloway, as a getaway driver who must use his skills for the good of the government when the first Black female FBI agent in American history asks him for her help (the agent will be played by Rachel Hilson). The show is a period piece taking place in the 1970s. It hasn't been revealed how any of the main events of the decade will be incorporated into the plot of the series.

Like a lot of shows that have been teased for the coming months, Duster doesn't have a lot of concrete details out in the open yet. The project has been ongoing for quite some time and was delayed during the Hollywood writers and actors strikes, but a recent teaser trailer has hinted that Duster should finally arrive at an unspecified point in 2025. Here is everything we know so far about Duster.
Who is starring in Duster on Max?

There may be an Oscar in Timothee Chalamet's future, at least if the first reactions to A Complete Unknown are to be believed. Chalamet plays a young Bob Dylan in the film, which is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day. First reactions to the movie suggest that while the movie is strong, Chalamet's performance is utterly transformative. Here's what they say:

Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist said that while he's "not a fan of folk music and A Complete Unknown is superb and shockingly moving. Timothee is fantastic. Monica Barbaro is incredible. We need a Joan Baez spin off movie.”
