16 functions, essential to any new car
Autonomous cars may soon become a mass phenomenon, but in anticipation of this event, automakers are actively equip their models of the various technologies. Business Insider has compiled a list of 16 technologies that should have a modern car.Vehicle/vehicle and vehicle/infrastructure
On such systems, are major automakers. So the Audi should start to communicate with the lights. While technology from Volvo will allow cars to warn each other about road hazards.
Bluetooth connection
Cars Dwan allow you to listen to selected music via Bluetooth or hands-free operation of the phone. But here we are talking about more interesting application of technology. So the Chevrolet Bolt announced the ability to fully control the car via smartphone. As soon as the smartphone falls into the scope of a car, it allows you to get in the car, control the climate control and a whole range of functions of the car.
Wi-Fi and 4G connection
More and more car manufacturers provides the ability to connect the car to the network.
Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Already a vital function for many of today's drivers. Actually allows you to completely transfer the smartphone into the head unit of the car. To make calls to your contacts, write messages with Siri, use the usual navigation system is staff — all without the distraction of the phone.
Voice control
After CarPlay, with Siri on Board this function does not look so impressive, but the ability to control the vehicle systems without being distracted from the road has always been an important element for OEMs. Voice control with varying degrees of success to cope with this task.
Wireless charging of smartphone
The better the technology, the smaller the wire. This trend took hold and the car manufacturers, top models which have special places to charge compatible devices without wires. While it is basically a phone on the Android platform.
Rear view camera
Now they not only replace the rear view mirror, but also provide numerous tips on Parking and give information about the environment. The most severe drivers still believe in the covenants of driving instructors and parked in the blind, but the camera is gradually taking over everything to do with Parking.
The monitoring of blind spots
It is known that rearview mirrors have the disadvantages associated with the review. Until the movement does not become a fully Autonomous car manufacturers offer half-measures to minimize the consequences of these gaps. Monitoring system blind spot assists the driver when changing lanes. If the maneuver is not safe, she will signal about it.
Update over the air
Frequently change the car is not available to many, but nothing prevents a person to experience pleasant sensations from the updated software of his car. People are used to the annually updated iOS versions that extend the capabilities of their smartphones, the same story comes in auto industry. So Tesla after such cloud updates learned Autonomous driving, automatic opening doors and many other features that were not there before the updates.
Motors
Concern about the level of greenhouse gases, savings on hydrocarbon fuels, the desire to be different — the reasons can be many, but it is clear that today EV develops at an unprecedented pace. Electric mobility startups hit record of aggregated investments, and automakers competing in the ambitions. The electric vehicle is deprived of its main problems is slow charging and small reserve. So the Chevrolet Bolt, expected by the end of the year, promises to pass on a single charge more than 380 km. In the 2017-2018 Tesla releases their Model 3 for $35,000. For them to 2020, to catch up with Mercedes and Volkswagen.
Digital dashboard
The main advantage is the customizability. They migrated analog speedometer and tachometer, but everything else adapts to the needs of the driver temperature, oil, navigation, media system — need settings and functions before my eyes.
Night vision
Pedestrians in black clothing in the rain — not the best that can be found on the track. Come to the aid of technology. For example, Audi equips some models of the temperature sensors in order to alert the driver that a person or animal on the road. Such systems also offer BMW, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz.
The projection on the windshield (HUD)
Another attempt to attract the gaze of the driver to the road. All the most important information about the trip is projected directly onto the windshield. The technology is not new, but with each update of the vehicles it acquires the new chips. Added navigation, improved clarity, added information about moving objects ahead.
Semi-Autonomous driving system
Everything is simple — the car is driving itself, but the driver still needs to keep its place. After Tesla the idea to convey the car part of the routine management of the vehicle captured automakers. Completely distracted from driving so far, but the surprise of his comrades in the tube turn out exactly. Seriously, it is, for example, the system DrivePilot from Mercedes gives proautonomy cars at speeds up to 200 km/h. the main goal of such systems is security.
Automatic Parking
The track is not edinstennoe the place where the car can exercise their autonomy. In different formats automatic Parking systems began to appear long ago. The development of wireless sensors and mobile technologies have given such systems, again to show themselves. In particular we are talking about Tesla, BMW 7, Mercedes E-class — they allow owners to manage Parking your car remotely. Emergency brake
Such systems are activated when a collision is inevitable. As a result the consequences either reduced to zero or minimized. Emergency braking systems are becoming all the more commonplace. So in September 2015, the 10 largest automakers have agreed to make the technology standard. published
