Luxury is defined as a state of great comfort and a condition of abundance. For as long as cars have been around, the brand and model of a car has been a symbol of luxury and status. However, nowadays the car itself isn’t what makes it desirable, but rather what is inside it. According to the Director of Industry Analysis at AutoPacific, automotive technologies are becoming the new measure of quality. With so many technological improvements to a car’s capability, these applications are becoming the new thing to have. So, to flaunt your style, check out these futuristic technologies that absolutely need to be included in your next car.
Although autonomous cars have not fully hit the roads, self-parking capabilities are becoming more popular. Companies such as Tesla, BMW and Mercedes all have cars that can remotely park. You simply pull up the application on your phone, and you can park your car, or remove it from a tight parking spot without ever getting in the vehicle itself.
Once restricted to high-end cars, autonomous safety controls are now offered in many affordable brands and models. Some of these controls include lane-keep assistance, automatic forward-collision breaking, and adaptive cruise control. These technologies are not only cool and futuristic but also work to keep you safe while in the driver’s seat.
Car companies such as BMW, Ford, and Volkswagen are now advertising touch screens that you don’t even have to touch. Instead of pressing a button to turn up the radio, you can now do it with a simple hand motion. This increases the amount of functions that your car can perform as it provides no limit to the number of buttons and touch-options available. It can also make your drive safer, as you don’t have to be staring at a screen to change a radio station.
Your car is becoming more human than you know. Now your car can communicate with you about your surroundings. For example, you can receive information about traffic, climate conditions, and other road conditions through your dashboard. Your car can also search through mobile apps such as HWYPro, designed by Bill Busbice Jr. This allows you to integrate all the information you need to know while going on long journeys.
Because cars are becoming more digital, software updates are becoming very important to keep everything running. We used to have to take the car into the dealer to receive software updates or install the software through a thumb drive. However, now, some cars are allowing the ability to provide key software updates over the air. This is similar to how your mobile phone or computer receives updates and can save you time and money.
When searching for your next car, be sure to look for these technologies to ensure that you’re getting the most up-to-date and technologically advanced vehicle.
