New Car Technology Advancements

By: Dennis James

Car technology is advancing at amazing speed so its no surprise
that at least a couple cool things turn up each model year. Here
are some of the latest innovations that will be coming out
sometime in the near future that new car buyers can look forward
to seeing.

Economy Mode

While we consider that most of us drivers are set in their ways
and odds are we will never make the necessary changes to
conserve on fuel. One example of such would be, we know that by
simply not using our AC increases our fuel economy when we
drive, but rather than just rolling down our window when we
could to save fuel we opt to use the air conditioner to keep us
cool. We are simply set in our ways when it comes to running our
AC even when we could be just as comfortable at this time with a
window down. With the new idea and innovation of the Economy
Mode the car it will be able to determine what systems in your
car are non-essential at the time and turn them off to save on
fuel for the driver; examples could be the AC, Cruise Controls
and others. The car would begin making these adjustments for the
driver automatically. It's not just an idea in fact; some
Hybrids feature an economy mode that limits A/C use on several
models right now. Black Box Technology

Planes have them and cars will too, and why not the Black box on
planes have be literally invaluable for many years with its
ability to get detail records of trips and logs of what happens
to a plane in flight or when accidents occur. It's still being
debated like most things that come to personal privacy and many
people will no doubt object to the idea of the black box being
implemented into their personal vehicles. The fact is that both
Ford and General Motors already are using black Box technology
in around two-thirds of the models built, but they are referred
to as "recorders". Drivers can expect the advancement of these
"recorders" to be able to tell police officers and insurance
companies about car accidents, how fast you were driving, where
you had driven that day and much more. Cars That Park for You

Yes, a car that actually will do the parking is already in
production today. There is already one type of system where the
driver keeps his foot on the brake while the car amazingly
enough parallel parks it's self. Its future looks bright, as
this type of application could be very useful in the future not
just in parking but also use in other tight places like garages.
Let the Car do the Driving

It's no longer just a dream or something we have seen in the
movies, with the advancement of GPS and robotic technology
setting your car on Auto Pilot where the navigation system
guides the car to its destination while the driver sits back and
relaxes will become a reality sooner than many people could
imagine. Experimentation and planning is underway with the use
of magnets and GPS to make this dream become a reality.

Crash Detection

Is already a reality with the Acura RL and it's called the
Collision Mitigation System. Hopefully, one day all cars will
include this type of safety feature. Where the cars decides on
its own that a wreck is unavoidable and will warn the driver to
brace for impacts as it automatically takes action for the
driver by deploying the airbags hitting the brakes and tightens
up seatbelts etc. all own its own.

The near future is indeed an exciting time.
