    Our Future Road Map
    We thought long and hard about the change to a subscription model and believe it is in the best interest of Z1 and our customers moving forward. Not only does it make the Z1 more accessible, but it also allows us to be more agile with future updates and to place Z1 onto platforms that were not possible with our previous pricing model.

    The subscription models allows everyone to be on the same version of the software at all times. This will make support easier. It will also allow us to push out updates much more quickly. Instead of having to wait for a quarterly updates to get a new feature out, or to support a new sim, we will be able to push out such a change at a more precise moment. This does not mean we will be putting out updates every other day, as that would get annoying!

    So what are we looking to do in the near future? We want to expand the Driving Instructor with new voices, new features and better advice. And of course sometimes it rains when you are on track. Sometimes there are other cars on track and it isn't all about optimal speed, but racing.

    The Z1 Analyzer will continue to improve and is already helping The University of Hawaii's AI Racing Tech program develop and train their autonomous race car (Home). Our experience with them helps us provide you with the best possible software for training and telemetry analysis.

    There are many improvements to the Designer that need to be made. Once done we can remove some legacy graphics from the Dashboard, and that allows us to implement some very interesting features based solely around the Direct X engine.

    Interconnectivity is a big part of our future plans. We are looking to update and improve how drivers and engineers communicate and share data around the world.

    Oh, and over the past few months we have completely rewritten the Z1 back end code. Some of it was about 10 years old! So we can tick that off our to-do-list.

    Thank you for reading this. Thank you for being a Z1 customer. Thank you for all your support. Z1 would not exist without you.
