Automotive Engineering Technology in the Future

The automotive industry is constantly introducing new technologies, from safety to convenience and entertainment. Some of the recent innovations in cars are truly exciting and could revolutionize not only the automotive industry but also transportation in general.

Automotive experts predict that there will be many improvements in automotive technology in the next 10 years. No one can be sure, but based on the tests and the actual things that are happening, some ideas about new technologies are very likely to be applied in the future. And some of them will be systems that ensure human safety, some will allow us to enjoy the comfort of every trip.

The European NCAP safety agency is leading the way with its Vision Zero system to prevent road accidents. In 2020, it began testing autonomous emergency steering, driver monitoring systems, and autonomous emergency braking systems that work at intersections and when you’re reversing out of parking spaces. You can find many of these technologies in today’s most modern cars.

But in the near future, cars won’t just be able to protect you from harm. They’ll also be able to provide you with a lot of useful information in real time, so you can ask your car to find you a restaurant, reserve a parking spot for you nearby, and then give you directions to get there. And if your car is driving itself, it might even project a holographic digital avatar that makes you feel like you’re with someone.

More than half of the world’s cars are already connected to the Internet, and future vehicles will also communicate with each other, road infrastructure, smart intersections, and smart street lights in a network known as the Internet of Things. Your car will be able to use all the information it has installed to warn you in advance of any potential hazards or problems on your chosen route. In short, driving will become smarter and safer than ever, with less time stuck in traffic.
