The technological revolution in the automotive industry began more than a century ago. Nowadays, the innovative developments of car companies are striking in their development and progress. Since the advent of the first cars, our life has become more diverse and interesting.
The advent of automatic transmission made it easier for us to change gears. Cruise control gives the opportunity to relax our feet and Stripe on the brake pad surface is make you comfortable. There are many other technologies that make driving a car a true vacation.
1. Auto Parking Assistant
Many of us on weekends or holidays go to various shopping centres and shops, where, as you know, there is simply some kind of quiet horror at the parking lot. Finding a parking space for your car often turns into a headache.
Even if you find a place to park, then you spend a lot of time on it, which is usually always lacking. Do you know this friend? We have no doubt. To do this, today there is the latest modern technology from Audi, which offers the motorist his new system of automatic parking without a driver.
2. WiFi Hotspot
A few years ago, the Internet in our lives played a not so important role. Today, everything has changed. We cannot imagine life without an Internet network, whether we are at work or at home.
True, we still have such moments in life when we very rarely use the Internet. For example, in a car. Of course, we can log into the network from our smartphone and then check our email or go to some website
3. Airless Tires
After several years of research, rubber manufacturers have created conceptual airless tires. Instead of air inside these tires, there is a microgrid of hard rubber. Which essentially retains its shape and wheel shape even under extreme loads. Since the tire does not need air, when the tire is punctured, the car can freely continue on its way without any danger.
The thermoplastic material used in the manufacture of airless tires is made from recycled materials, as a result of which these conceptual tires are environmentally friendly and significant compared to conventional traditional rubber.
4. Smart Lights
Driving a car at night in the rain or when it snows is difficult and very stressful, since visibility on the road under such conditions is very poor and wants to be better. And the thing is that our car headlights illuminate not only the road itself but also raindrops or snow particles. Which creates a big significant obstacle for our eyes for a clear view of the road.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a specific headlight system that can improve your visibility in bad weather conditions. This system consists of – a video camera, a projector, a laser beam splitter and a computer unit based on an Intel processor.
5. Hydrophobic Coating
For the first time, the manufacturer equipped some of the new 2014 Kia Cadenza cars with hydrophobic side windows. What it is? An ordinary glass of a car is covered with a special hydrophobic coating that protects the glass from chips or damage.
That is, it prevents the glass from becoming dirty and dirty with the same drops of water. The coating repels water and all collecting condensate. This coating sufficiently improves visibility in rainy weather and facilitates the drying process of glasses after washing.
To our regret, we don’t yet know anything about which automakers are equipping their cars with these hydrophobic windows.
Final Thoughts
Automotive technologies that have been developing at a doubled pace recently have often begun to appear on inexpensive brands and models of cars. And this is due primarily to the fact that many new technologies are becoming at their own cost today not so expensive and do not require manufacturers of multibillion investments.
