In the latest installment of “What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda,” we get to meet Naoki "Nick" Sugimoto. As a liaison between the technology and automotive industries at Honda Silicon Valley Lab (HSVL), Nick is at the forefront of the integration of automobiles and technology. HSVL is located in Silicon Valley, possibly the most innovative place on the planet. Part of Nick’s job is not only to find new technology and business ideas, but to show off new technology to people who work in other divisions of Honda. "A lot of change is happening in the technology and automotive industries, and going forward it is more important now than ever for Honda to work with innovators of all types to remain competitive," said Sugimoto. Listen to Nick talk about what lead him to his current position and how he hopes that one day in the future, Honda will be so advanced that they won’t need his position.

The Honda brand has certainly withstood the test of time and remained relevant throughout the last 44 years. They took that time to perfect the small, affordable car and made sporty versions and hybrid versions for more personalization. A perfect example of this is the Honda Civic. The latest generation of the Civic would be considered the “tech” version. This model is so packed with cool features, reporter Nick Jaynes of Mashable didn’t know what to try out first! His first impression was obviously about the exterior of the vehicle. The unit that Jaynes drove around was the eye-catching Energy Green Pearl color, was “chromed-out”, and featured a cool LED tail light bar. Once he got inside, he was equally impressed. The Honda Sensing suite of safety features caught his attention first. The Civic he was driving included Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation Braking. Jaynes suggested these advanced safety features have their names changed to semi-autonomous features. He also points out that Honda’s inclusion of these features on such an affordable sedan is a step in the right direction for the auto industry. Why make these life-saving features available only to people who can afford a car that’s over $50,000? Jaynes also remarked on the 7” touchscreen infotainment system, navigation system, and its super crisp handling on the road. To experience all these features and more come into DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh today and we’ll be happy to put you in the driver’s seat! Jaynes, Nick.
