The L.A. Auto Show is about to kick off and will put the latest car technologies front and center. Cheddar got an early look at Lincoln's brand new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. Our own Alyssa Julya Smith was with Robert Parker, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Lincoln Motor Company, to chat about some of the innovation behind the new SUV. Parker says SUVs are one of the hottest segments. He gives us a first-hand look at some of the new features. The car has wireless charging, and says goodbye to the traditional gear stick. The Lincoln director also fills us in on the technologies that add an extra layer of safety, such as lane centering. The radar-based cruise control will monitor where you are on the highway, and pre-condition the brakes if it senses the driver is getting off-track. The car even has a feature called evasive steering, which pre-conditions steering away from danger if the driver does not take control.
