Similar to phones that improve and become smarter every year, cars are also changing. They become more and more automated due to modern technology. Current trends change the way we use cars and innovations will help to make them more helpful to drivers. Nowadays, the automotive sphere is already becoming more and more digitized. There are various apps that allow consumers to control, finance, sell or purchase cars just with the help of a smartphone. Here are some of the newest technologies that are coming in the near future to change this industry even more.
Fuel-Efficient Cars
Everybody knows that Tesla has become a groundbreaker in the movement of fuel efficiency that has taken over the automotive world recently. Their hybrid or electric cars aren’t worse than regular cars and may drive for several hundred miles with one charge. More and more Tesla autos are sold in the world every year, and experts suggest this number will continue to grow. At first, such cars were much more expensive so that not every consumer could afford to purchase them.
However, now they have more reasonable prices. Such major companies as Kia, Hyundai, and Toyota on Jacars are revealing hybrid autos for less than $30,000. These companies strongly believe that soon the whole world will invest in these fuel-efficient cars.
Built-In Apps in the Cars
More than that, there is a growing number of in-car applications designed to provide extra services to the drivers. The newest models of autos are booming with technology and various types of software. For instance, you may use real-time data for the navigation apps to warn you about traffic jams, road conditions, or places of interest close to you. More apps and software is being tested and will soon be revealed to the world.
Digital Factories
As we see a growing demand for cars in many countries, there is a growing need to standardize the way these cars are manufactured. Digital factories will be built to become an essential part of the car production. They will perform the tasks with no mistakes, automate car manufacturing, digitize the whole process and make it even more flexible. There will be more robots used to manufacture the cars in this digital factory so that such areas as maintenance, quality control, or logistics will be better managed with fewer errors.
Partnerships
The 2019 WAC Conference in Istanbul has shown how the modern car industry is rapidly developing and transforming. The new keyword for the innovations is “partnering”. It means that the major leaders in this industry decided that it’s significant to make new partners with other companies, governmental organizations, and even startups. Technology is constantly changing, so partnering may help to keep track of the transformations and collaborate with each other to present even better solutions to consumers.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Modern technology allows us to receive, digest, research and analyze a large amount of data with the help of IoT. This technique is currently tested and already used to brake, steer and drive the auto more effectively. IoT is designed to boost the driving capabilities of cars. In general, artificial intelligence plays a significant role in the future of this industry. More and more car manufacturers start using data to improve the driving experience and transform vehicles into IoT cars that can be easily connected to phones and act driver’s commands. This method may also tell the driver about the need to repair the vehicle or tell about its current condition.
All in all, here are some of the top future technology trends that are already changing the automotive industry.
