Planes have them and cars will too, and why not the Black box on planes have be literally invaluable for a lot of years with its ability to get detail records of trips and logs of what happens to a plane in flight or when accidents occur. It's still being debated like most things that come to personal privacy and many people will no doubt object to the idea of the black box being implemented into their personal vehicles. The fact is that both Ford and General Motors already are using black Box technology in around two-thirds of the models geared up, but they are called "recorders". Drivers can expect the advancement of these "recorders" to be able to tell police officers and insurance companies about car accidents, how fast you were driving, where you had driven that day and quite a bit more.
The near future is indeed an exciting time.
Let the Car do the Driving
Yes, a car that actually will do the parking is already in production today. There is already one kind of system where the motive force keeps his foot on the brake while the car amazingly enough parallel parks it's self. Its future looks bright, as this kind of application could be very useful in the future not just in parking but also use in other tight places like garages.
Crash Detection
Cars That Park for You
While we bear in mind that most of us drivers are set in their techniques and odds are we will never make the necessary changes to conserve on fuel. One example of such would be, we know that by simply not using our AC raises our fuel economy when we drive, but rather than just rolling down our window when we could to save fuel we opt to use the air conditioner to keep us cool. We are simply set in our techniques when it comes to operating our AC even when we could be just as comfortable at this time with a window down. With the new idea and innovation of the Economy Mode the car it's going to be able to examine what systems in your car are non-essential at the time and turn them off to save on fuel for the motive force; examples could be the AC, Cruise Controls and others. The car would start making these adjustments for the motive force automatically. It's not just an idea in fact; some Hybrids feature an economy mode that limits A/C use on several models right now.
Is already a reality with the Acura RL and it's called the Collision Mitigation System. Hopefully, one day all cars will include this kind of safety feature. Where the cars decides on its own that a wreck is unavoidable and will warn the motive force to brace for impacts as it automatically takes action for the motive force by deploying the airbags hitting the brakes and tightens up seatbelts etc. all own its own.
Car technology is advancing at amazing speed so its no surprise that at least a couple cool things turn up each variation yr. Here are some of the newest innovations that will be popping out sometime in the near future that new car buyers can look forward to seeing.
