'I Work as a Valet Driver and Brooo:' Man Starts His New Chevrolet Colorado. Then He Notices An Unprecedented New Feature
Content creator @chevycolorado25 reveals the cinematic new startup screen for the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado. Yes, it feels like a movie studio introduction before a film starts.
The post has gone viral, generating 5.4 million views as of this writing.
Do Chevrolet Colorados Have the Best Start Screen?
The Chevrolet Colorado is certainly making a strong case to be considered as having one of the best start screens in the game. It feels like a Warner Bros., Marvel, or MGM film is about to start with the epic intro.
When firing up the Chevy Colorado, a seven-second animated film is played smoothly across the dashboard. The clean reformation of the Chevy logo appears on the infotainment system and driver dashboard seamlessly.
The
infotainment system
definitely catches attention with an 11.3″ diagonal advanced color LCD display. With Google Built-In, all Google apps can be accessed seamlessly, keeping drivers' phones in their pockets. Multi-touch capability makes the dashboard feel like a smartphone is being used. The system goes beyond just entertainment and features fine-tuned comfort preferences, built-in voice recognition, and an intuitive interface for driving.
Chevrolet didn't just stop there with the advanced technology. According to DePaula Chevrolet, the new Colorado is jammed with new tech features. These features include a wireless phone charging pad, a Bose speaker sound system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, remote start, and keyless entry.
Which Car Infotainment Systems Are the Best?
Chevrolet is making a strong case for having one of the best infotainment systems in the game with the movie intro start-up. However, there is some strong competition, and commenters put a few names into the race.
'I work as a valet driver and brooo from all the cars I have drove the Mercedes GLE 63 AMG is crazy when you turn on the car. All the subwoofers go crazy,' one TikTok commenter said.
Car enthusiasts on
added BMW's iDrive 8.5, Teslas, and anything with Apple CarPlay.
According to
Kelley Blue Book (KBB)
, these car brands have the best infotainment screens and operating systems.
MBUX: Mercedes-Benz
iDrive 8.5: BMW
Tesla
Lucid UX: Lucid
ccNC: Kia and Hyundai
Ford Digital Experience: Ford and Lincoln
Uconnect 5: Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Alfa Romeo
CUE: Cadillac and Chevrolet
Viewers Aren't Buying It
Chevrolet's social media team hyped up the car's intro and commented on the viral post, 'Warner bros who?'
However, while the elaborate start screen is visually pleasing, not all commenters were entertained. To them, the feature is a distraction from the fact that Chevrolet has had recalls and transmission issues recently.
'Maybe they should spend more money on their transmissions,' one TikTok commenter said.
'It hides the electrical failures,' a second commenter replied.
'Chevy engineer here, if I'm honest we did this so you have something cool to do when your 6.2 locks up,' one viewer admitted.
'Gotta have something to look at while you are on the side of the road waiting on a tow truck,' another replied.
'This will soon start glitching and lagging,' a further predicted.
Several Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs have been subject to recalls over the past five years,

reports. These recalls included issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, and faulty airbags, to name a few.

Trump pauses export controls to bolster China trade deal, FT says
(Reuters) -The U.S. has paused curbs on tech exports to China to avoid disrupting trade talks with Beijing and support President Donald Trump's efforts to secure a meeting with President Xi Jinping this year, the Financial Times said on Monday. The industry and security bureau of the Commerce Department, which oversees export controls, has been told in recent months to avoid tough moves on China, the newspaper said, citing current and former officials. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House and the department did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment outside business hours. Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials are set to resume talks in Stockholm on Monday to tackle longstanding economic disputes at the centre of a trade war between the world's top two economies. Tech giant Nvidia said this month it would resume sales of its H20 graphics processing units (GPU) to China, reversing an export curb the Trump administration imposed in April to keep advanced AI chips out of Chinese hands over national security concerns. The planned resumption was part of U.S. negotiations on rare earths and magnets, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said. The paper said 20 security experts and former officials, including former deputy US national security adviser Matt Pottinger, will write on Monday to Lutnick to voice concern, however. "This move represents a strategic misstep that endangers the United States' economic and military edge in artificial intelligence," they write in the letter, it added.

A bittersweet weekend for IndyCar's Arrow McLaren at Laguna Seca
On paper, it was a solid weekend for the papaya squad, Arrow McLaren. Christian Lundgaard scored a podium, Pato O'Ward was a solid fourth and Nolan Siegel led his first laps of the 2025 season. But it came with a disappointing conclusion for Siegel and a championship likely lost for O'Ward. Lundgaard was the star of the day for the group. O'Ward rolled off second, but the Dane finished there from seventh after pitting earlier than his rivals to gain ground with an undercut. That led him to third, where he used a bold overtake to sneak past Colton Herta for the runner-up spot. He didn't have the pace to challenge frontrunner Alex Palou after a couple late cautions, but held onto second to give the organization its 11th podium on the year - a new high mark for the squad. 'I knew that the pit sequences are really key here,' Lundgaard said of his run. 'We went into this race not knowing if it was going to be a red (tire) race or a prime race. It ended up being a red race and I just can't thank this team enough.' O'Ward put together a complete weekend, qualifying second and finishing fourth on a day where the strategy and speed didn't fall his way. It was a solid result that continued a streak of success for the Mexican star. He's finished seventh or better in nine of the past 10 races, with two wins and five podiums. In many years, that would be enough to challenge for his first IndyCar title. But the consistency has come in a dominant year for Palou. The Chip Ganassi Racing star's seven (now eight) wins left O'Ward in need of major gains in Laguna Seca to have a chance to close within reach for the championship. But after Palou's win, he now holds a 120-point championship advantage with just three races remaining. The Spaniard could clinch the title next time out at Portland International Raceway. Barring an absolute meltdown - and despite O'Ward's best efforts - the championship battle likely ended Sunday under the California sun. Nolan Siegel, Arrow McLaren Then, there was Siegel. Running in his home state, the Palo Alto native was the only driver not named Palou to lead laps on Sunday. An alternate strategy put him out front for 11 laps early on before Palou surged past him in turn 3. Even after that, Siegel was still positioned to make the most of a race he'd started 16th in. But that all fell apart in the closing stages, when Siegel went for a spin at the Corkscrew. He attempted to make a pass on Louis Foster, but made contact and briefly looped around before rolling on. Siegel ultimately took the checkered flag in 18th, continuing a streak of four-straight races with an average finish of 21.75 after he'd scored results of eighth and 11th at Road America and Mid-Ohio. In the end, every driver at Arrow McLaren showed promise in Laguna Seca. Two of the team's drivers finished in the top-four spots and the other led laps. But with Siegel showing his inexperience and Palou continuing to dominate, there was little else on offer to be joyous about in the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey.

Remember Ingenuity? NASA's proposed Skyfall mission takes it further in stunning video
NASA's incredible Ingenuity helicopter spent nearly three flying across the surface of Mars, becoming the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on a planet other than Earth. After suffering damage to one of its blades in early 2024, Ingenuity was grounded for good, and now rests on the martian surface as a testament to technological innovation and the triumph of autonomous flight on another planet. In an exciting development, the plucky helicopter has now inspired Skyfall, a mission concept recently unveiled by Virginia-based AeroVironment (AV) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who worked together to develop the Ingenuity aircraft. As you can see in the video at the top of this page, the Skyfall mission is designed to deploy not one but six helicopters on Mars, each of which would fly off to explore various locations selected by NASA as potential landing spots for the first crewed mission to the red planet, which could take place in the 2030s. The gathered data could also help scientists learn more about Mars, contributing to the expanding database of information collected by other Mars vehicles such as the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers. The video shows the dramatic Skyfall Maneuver, described by AV as 'an innovative entry, descent, and landing technique whereby the six rotorcraft deploy from their entry capsule during its descent through the martian atmosphere.' With the helicopters flying down to the Mars surface under their own power, the Skyfall system would do away with the need for a landing platform, which is one of the most expensive parts of any Mars mission and also carries huge risk. Just like Ingenuity, each helicopter would be capable of operating autonomously, and beam high-resolution imagery back to Earth for analysis, allowing mission planners to select the best possible landing location for the first human mission. 'Skyfall offers a revolutionary new approach to Mars exploration that is faster and more affordable than anything that's come before it,' said William Pomerantz, head of space ventures at AV. 'Thanks to a true partnership between industry and government, we're expanding the unprecedented success of Ingenuity.' Pomerantz added that with six helicopters, 'Skyfall offers a low-cost solution that multiplies the range we would cover, the data we would collect, and the scientific research we would conduct, making humanity's first footprints on Mars meaningfully closer.' With NASA's first human missions in mind and the need to identify an ideal landing area, AV is already working with NASA's JPL in the hope of getting the green light for the mission before working toward a potential 2028 launch.
