The competitive auto industry constantly upgrades itself with new
technologies. Be it for safety, entertainment, usefulness or
simply for pure innovation the industry provides something new for the customer on a regular basis.
The five technologies that have a potential to hugely impact the auto industry in the future are:
Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communication (V2V):
Car manufacturers and the U.S. government are seriously
looking into and researching two technologies that would enable future cars to
communicate with each other and with objects around them.
Self-Driving Cars:
In California and Nevada, Google engineers have already tested
self-driving cars on more than 200,000 miles (321,869 kilometers) of
public highways and roads. Google's cars not only record images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights before they're even visible to a person.
Augmented Reality Dashboards:
GPS and other in-car displays are great for getting us from
point A to point B, and some high-end vehicles even have displays on the
windshield, but in the near future cars will be able to identify external
objects in front of the driver and display information about them on the
windshield.
Proactive Airbags:
Car
manufacturers like Mercedes are experimenting with airbags that deploy from
underneath the car and help stop a vehicle before a crash. This is a new way to
use airbags that move them away from a passive safety measure and makes it part
of an active safety system.
Energy-storing Body Panels:
Exxon Mobil predicts that by 2040, half of all new cars coming off the production line will be hybrids.
