Cadillac is launching a car subscription service for $1,500 a month

-


Cadillac is launching a subscription service that will allow customers to drive and swap out whatever vehicle they want — be it an Escalade or a CTS-V — whenever they want, for a flat monthly fee. Book by Cadillac is a $1,500-a-month contract-free service that the manufacturer says will eliminate the hassle that comes with owning a vehicle.


The service will grant users access to an app which will let you request to swap between current year Cadlillacs including the XT5, CT6, Escalade, and V Series at will, without having to pay extra for registration, insurance, or maintenance, all of which are included in the monthly fee. Subscribers can swap cars up to 18 times per year, as often once per day. Reservations for next-day swaps must be made by 3PM.


Vehicles will be delivered to your preferred location by white-glove concierge service, and Cadillac says you can swap out vehicles as often as you like, in case you want a coupe for a weekend trip. Drivers must keep a car at all times, but because there’s no contract commitment, it’s possible to cancel the service for a month and start it up again at a later time. There are no mileage restrictions either, although Cadillac told The Verge in an email that driving for ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft is not allowed. That last bit is something of a bummer because a $1,500 per month service that lets you swap between Cadillacs with included insurance and maintenance (and detailing when swapping cars!) would be a pretty stellar deal for a professional Uber driver.

Given that most of the higher-end Cadillacs start leasing at around $750 a month before insurance, maintenance, and signing costs, the subscription service could almost be a good deal for people who love Cadillac and like to have options. Book by Cadillac will launch first in the New York metro area, before it expands to other markets.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.

Nintendo announces 2DS XL for $150

Nintendo has dropped a new handheld console, the 2DS XL. The 2DS XL is big step up from the toast-shaped 2DS and is essentially the 3DS XL but without the 3D display. That's really all there is to be said about this. The 2DS XL includes the faster processor, C-stick and NFC reader for Amiibos from the 3DS XL but lacks the 3D display and has a more compact and lighter design. The 2DS XL will still be compatible with all the 3DS games, just that you can't play them in 3D.
