2017 automotive technology will be revolutionary. The biggest new technology will be the advancement of self-driving cars. Faraday premiered it’s new electronic car at CES 2016. It is most likely to go into production in 2017. Hyundai premiered it’s self-driving car during CES. Anton Goodwin, a judge at the roadshow, said the car is “programmed to drive conservatively, making for a boring but safe experience.” Car enthusiasts are excited for 2017.
The specifications of the updated 2016 Cadillac ELR range-extended electric car were released this morning, and one big question has been answered. The luxury coupe will not use the revised Voltec powertrain that propels the new second-generation 2016 Chevrolet Volt on sale later this year. But it boasts better performance, slightly higher electric range, more standard equipment, and a price cut of $10,000. Instead, the 2016 ELR will continue with its existing 17.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack and 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Nonetheless, it gets a notable boost in powertrain output, which has risen to 233 horsepower and 373 pound-feet of torque from the 207 hp and 295 lb-ft of the 2014 ELR.
The Dubai police force teamed up with tech company HoverSurf to produce a new police drone-motorcycle hybrid designed for rapid deployment in emergency situations. Four propellers and can lift a driver up to 16 feet off the ground and travel nearly 4 miles for up to 25 minutes. The hoverbike has a max weight of 660 pounds and can rocket through the sky at 43 mph. The flying motorcycle can take pictures with eight cameras and transmit them directly to a police station.
An all-new hybrid 'universal transport' prototype was showcased at the MAKS airshow in Russia on Wednesday, called the BORTS Triton, a wheeled offroad vehicle which has also has hovercraft capabilities as well an aerochute, which means that this one of a kind auto can conquer the land, water, and skies. The two-seater SUV is adept on land as an electrical car, uses an aerochute when converted into a plane and becomes a hovercraft once on water all thanks to a low-noise, ten-blade propellor.

This strange, alien-looking craft combines aircraft wings with drone rotors to form an entirely new class of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. A tech company from Siberia called Optiplane Unmanned Systems started developing these hybrid drones, which they call convertiplanes, because they combine the best features of quadcopters and airplanes. The craft, which is called the Colibri S1, can take off and land vertically but has the ability to fly as far as an aircraft while also being able to hover over a target area.
