The Future of
Technology in Cars
Technological advancements are happening all around us, in
education, music, and even transportation. Cars are already parking themselves;
it won't be long before they're driving themselves! Here are five of the most
exciting advanced car technologies we'll see in the next few years:
Autonomous Cars: The
very definition of cars driving themselves! You'll likely find these in rural
areas first, but it shouldn't be long before manufacturers find a way to
assimilate onto all roadways.
Human Recognition Entrance:
Also known as biometric entrance, cars will be opened and started with a scan
of a fingerprint or the eye. The new iPhone 8 is using facial recognition to
unlock it, why shouldn't our vehicles?
Vehicle Tracking:
While the preliminary promise of tracking are slated to be completely
voluntary, we're hoping it remains that way. Regardless, those who agree to
full tracking of their driving will earn discounts on insurance.
Remote Shut Down:
A few vehicles have this now, but pretty soon it will be standard to buy a car with the
remote shut down feature. Great idea for stopping car thieves in their tracks,
and maybe a rogue teenage driver, too!
Smart Cars: Some
vehicles already allow you to send email messages via voice prompts, but in
less than five years, we can expect most cars to be fully connected to the
internet. This means personalized ads will pop up on your vehicle's display,
which is a great thing for advertising, but maybe not so great for the driver
who needs to focus on the road!
