In the automobile industry of the science and technology world, over the recent decades, there is an ongoing rise in unprecedented multifunctional, super-technological and high performing vehicles.
Let us quickly scan through these selected fews.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Automatic Emergency Braking or AEB uses a variety of sensors to determine if a forward collision crash is imminent and automatically applies the brakes to diminish the severity or avoid a crash entirely.
The automobile industry agreed to make AEB standard in cars by 2022, although it's already available in many vehicles today. The systems are extremely good, though you absolutely shouldn't rely on it to stop you—it's meant as a last resort for when the driver isn't paying attention, and it's extremely alarming when the system does engage. While USB ports and smartphone apps are important, this one could save your life, so it's worth making this one a high priority on your shopping list.
Media/CarPlay and Android Auto
Infotainment systems — the do-it-all screens that control stereos, navigation, and climate control. Now Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto. Plug in your smart phone and it takes over that big screen, replacing it with something that looks a lot more familiar and easy to use.
You'll get a simplified control scheme to access your music, maps, and your phone's built-in voice-control features while avoiding the unnecessarily complicated system that comes with the car.
Highly Tech LED windscreens/Headlights
So manufacturers have created some models that could make the windscreen change into a monitor-like LED which gives better view of what's ahead and around you. With ultraviolet lights distinguishing separate objects.
Headlights are the only thing between you and a crash when driving at night. Whether it's LED bulbs that never need replacing or older but still-excellent xenon systems, illuminating the road is the best way to avoid nighttime collisions.
Many luxury cars now have "swiveling" bulbs that turn with the road to illuminate around corners, while auto-high beam systems will keep you from blinding other drivers but maximizing your view of your surroundings. A nighttime test-drive to check out the headlights may be worth considering before you make final buying decision.
Now you can start to picture the new species of vehicle that will soon start to dominate our streetways and major roads.
