Ten car Smart technology: five years to become a reality?

Two weeks before the CES show with the recent Detroit motor show, there was a lot of futuristic concept cars. At CES, Mercedes-Benz F015 concept cars grab eyeballs, design technology is full, and at the Detroit Auto Show, Buick, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Infiniti and Volkswagen brands also launched concept cars.

The technology of these concept cars is mostly a concept, but there are some technologies that will be implemented in the near future and some can be used immediately. Technology changes the way people travel every year, so we can see the evolution of future automotive technology from these changes. It is worth mentioning that the U.S. authoritative car value evaluation Network Kelley Blue Book is also gradually valuing these technologies. Here are the top ten automotive technologies from concept to reality in the next five years.

1. Automatic Driving technology

Note that the autopilot here does not mean completely automatic driving. Because it takes more than 5 years for a full automatic drive to be universal, it can be on any unsupervised path. By the year 20, although there will be a car with full automatic driving function, only a small number of roads will support full automatic driving, for example, the Interstate highway with less environmental impact factors. In most cases, the car will have two driving modes: Autopilot and manual driving. Consider the cruise control system, which keeps the car at a fixed speed based on the speed set by the driver.

2. Driver Priority system

Driver Priority Systems (Driver Override BAE) are related to self-driving technology but are different because the system makes decisions and ignores any of your commands. Now, if you don't have time to brake manually, it will stop on its own. And in 20 years, it will control the brakes on its own, even if you step on the accelerator. Simply put, the car is the boss, and you're cool.

3. Use biometric technology to start a car

Over the years, we have witnessed the evolution of car keys, from keys to remote keys. Next we will see the keyless starter car. Easily unlock and start your car by fingerprint identification or iris recognition. Sounds like the latest mobile-phone security model. Yes, that's exactly the same trend as the concept.

4. Vehicle Tracking Technology

Now some governments and insurers have begun to discuss road costs based on the distance travelled by each person. By the year 20, the insurance company will be able to track the vehicle's path and provide different car insurance costs according to the driving path. I hope that the tracking is the owner of the voluntary. But in fact, in the near future, the insurance company will ask the owner to carry on the comprehensive traveling tracking.

5. HUD Technology

HUD (head-up display) is a feature that allows important driving information such as routes and speeds to be displayed on the windshield of the car, so that the driver does not have to look down at the screen. HUD technology has come a long way, it is time to play its role. By the year 20, the windshield would have turned into a vibrant screen. You can imagine that in the future when you navigate, the front windshield is no longer a constant road scene.

6. Remote Car Lock Technology

In fact, this technology has been around for a long time, such as automotive Safety Information system service provider OnStar will often use it. In recent years, remote information technology companies to retrieve stolen vehicles through remote technology, save a lot of police time. By the year 20, the remote lock technology will fly into ordinary people's homes, become the standard for every car, and the evening news of car theft will disappear.

7. Health Monitoring Technology

Ford Motor Company first conveyed the concept to the public: monitoring the health data of drivers or passengers by means of sensors built into the seat belts or steering wheel. With the rapid development of wearable equipment technology, cars will also support these devices, just as smartphones will support these wearable devices. If this health monitoring technique is combined with automatic driving, the health care center will be alerted when a driver has a heart attack or in other emergency situations, and a series of ambulance actions will be carried out.

8. Four-cylinder super-run

Recently, Ford unveiled a new Ford GT concept car with a V6 twin turbocharged engine that generates more than 600 horsepower, providing world-class performance, especially the cool exterior design and the carbon-fiber-reinforced cab, which is incredibly exciting. By the year 20, we will see the first super sports car with a steady, 200-mile-per-hour run and a four-cylinder engine.

9. Intelligent Marketing in vehicle

Now, you can see Facebook, Twitter and Google based on your browsing record for advertising push services. And in the 20, almost all cars will be networked, which means your car is also the object of commercial advertising. Of course, these marketers will be based on your travel records for intelligent push. I sincerely hope that this kind of advertising push is a choice of projects. Yes, you'll have to see if there's a barrage of ad attacks on your windshield.

10. "Change" car

If the demand for a small SUV, a sport-utility vehicle, increases, the truck's sales will increase linearly. But would you like it if you had a car that could be transformed into different types of cars? A car that blends SUV and truck and can change, yes, it will be realized in 20!

What do you look forward to so many automotive smart technologies?
