Aside from a strong visionary dedication to innovation, the April 2020 autos round-up spotlights some pf the very interesting side initiatives of automakers. For example, Lexus has created a six-part podcast series, featuring acclaimed author Malcolm Gladwell who visits the company's headquarters in Japan and interacts with executives and engineers. Nissan, on the other hand, focuses its attention on little ones by launching the Nissan LEAF Dream Drive--the world's first zero-emission lullaby that is expected to help parents lull inconsolable children to sleep.
The April 2020 autos category calls attention to the cutting-edge designs and technology that are being tapped in sports vehicles. For example, Apex launched an AR Race Coach that assists drivers in reducing lap times, while Czinger debuted a 3D-printed hypercar that is priced at a whopping $1.7 million.
