New Technology in Cars - What We Can Look Forward to in 2010
The technology used in cars has greatly changed over time. Car technology upgrades enhance the safety comfort levels of car owners. So, every year, new car models come with (sometimes pricey) upgrades. 2010 is no exception. Here are some of the new car upgrades we can look forward to in the next few months.
While GPS devices have been standard on luxury cars for some time, now they are going down market and even mid-size cars have global navigation systems. Drivers will just have to enter their destination and they will be guided there through voice and visual directions.
Because gas prices are at an all time high, fuel economy is a concern for many drivers. New technology allows the car to switch off non-essential systems like the air conditioning in cooler times automatically.
Airbags have been standard features on cars for a couple of decades. But, in recent models, curtain airbags have become a new car safety feature. These reduce the likelihood of head injury to people in both the front and back seats.
The "black box" technology that has been used in airplanes for many decades has now come to the new car. These can record all sorts of data including the speed at which you were driving and the location of the car. This can be useful for insurance claims and can also be introduced as evidence in case of a lawsuit.
Many hybrid cars now feature run flat tires. This means that you can drive for up to 50 miles with no air pressure. This gives drivers the chance to get to the tire shop without having to pull over to the side of the road and change a tire.
Car technologies are becoming increasingly advanced. And we haven't seen the end yet! Cars that park themselves and even drive themselves are on the drawing boards.
