FIAT TIPO Station Wagon Mothers in the car with Laurie Lubbe
Today we talk to the new generations, and we also give our mothers an idea for an exciting activity for their children to practice. All this together with Laurie Lubbe, athlete and young woman who makes safety and technology the priorities to follow when traveling by car.
Who is Laurie Lubbe - Laurie is a French national athlete, she is a skydiver and indoor flight instructor. Indoor flight is a particular type of flight that takes place in a free fall simulator. Here the parachutes train and the public can experience flying without having to jump out of a plane. Laurie has gained a lot of experience in the last five years: she took the course in Dubai where she lived for three years and two years ago she moved to Italy where she now works as an instructor.
Technology - What matters most in a car for the younger generation? Technology is certainly one of the aspects that are taken into greater consideration, and Laurie is no exception: for her, having a connected cockpit is essential. From the navigator, to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless integration, to Bluetooth to never take your hands off the wheel or be distracted by your mobile phone: the more complete the equipment, the more comfortable Laurie feels. Technology is certainly not lacking aboard the Fiat Tipo Station Wagon: the 7 "digital cluster is fully configurable and allows Laurie who is testing the car to monitor the status of the car, the multimedia part and the telephone during the journey. .
Safety - For a flight instructor it was pretty obvious that safety would be a fundamental issue. Laurie knows very well that if she does her job correctly, following the rules, there are no risks: indoor flying is a very safe sport, and - Laurie is keen to emphasize - “people shouldn't be afraid to try”. Although traveling by car is not considered an extreme sport, road safety is just as important as it is in skydiving, and the autonomous driving systems of the new Fiat Tipo Station Wagon allow you to travel with maximum protection for all occupants, large and little ones. Among the various devices the Cruise Control, the Lane Control for maintaining the lane, the Traffic Sign Recognition traffic sign recognition and Attention Assist which monitors the driver's attention by recommending a break when he realizes that he is tired or distracted
Laurie's TYPICAL day - Laurie arrives at work in the morning: her job is to train and fly people. Immediately after the briefing to explain the flight techniques and gestures to communicate when inside the simulator, you enter the cylinder. “What is beautiful - explains Laurie - is that everyone can fly, you can start from 4 years old. For the children - who are too young to go skydiving - it's a fantastic experience, they have a lot of fun and do it in total safety ". When the working day is over Laurie trains in freestyle flight, she is a national athlete in this discipline, and indoor flight allows her to have more time to practice than when jumping from the plane. the fall lasts only 50 seconds.
Practicality - And to carry all of Laurie's equipment around, whether it is for indoor flight or for a skydiving session, with its 550 dm3 trunk the new Tipo Station Wagon ensures enough space even for the luggage of a ' athlete with very bulky bags! In addition, thanks to the low stepless load, the luggage compartment capacity is maximized and the Flip & Fold rear seats ensure great flexibility.
