GPS, automatic driving and even internet in the car. These are just some of the features that make life easier for drivers around the world, but also for passengers. Although all features are excellent, 35% of drivers do not use or understand all the technologies that exist in their own car. This lack of knowledge is often due to the lack of explanation on the part of sellers. Although some features go unnoticed, many are part of everyday life for drivers around the world. Do you know which technologies we are talking about?
1. Driving support systems
Many drivers are no longer concerned with changing between low and high beams when approaching vehicles, as some cars already do the whole process automatically. When approaching another car, the high beams are automatically switched to low beams. When the car passes, the high beams are switched on in the car again. Detecting other vehicles is an excellent feature that supports you in driving and manoeuvring; parking is much simpler with this support. Another example is the blind spot detector which warns the driver when a car is approaching; this technological support prevents many accidents. Autonomous emergency braking also stands out for automatically braking the car in unexpected situations. This system warns the driver while controlling the brake to avoid a collision. If the accident cannot be avoided, the system tries to minimize the impact. Cruise control is great for motorway travel as the car maintains speed and the driver can rest their right foot. That way, the only concern is braking. However, another technology is already being created that allows the car to automatically slow down when the car in front does the same. One last interesting aspect that we are going to comment on at this point is the support in starting the car. With this support, your car will not turn off again when starting the first time; undoubtedly a huge help on climbs.
2. Ease and comfort
Having your mobile device paired in your car is always a great idea. Calling someone or answering calls is much easier because if they call you, you can answer the call from the screen located in the center of the car, next to the steering wheel. GPS is also a much easier to use feature due to new technologies and, of course, excellent for those who are going to drive because of the bigger screen and closer to the steering wheel. You can save destinations – for example, save your home or work destination – and access them quickly, even while driving. In terms of comfort, we have automatic air conditioning, which despite not being a novelty, is a fashion that is here to stay and that will possibly be part of all cars in the future. This intelligent system reads the temperature the driver wants to feel inside the car and stabilizes it as quickly as possible. Due to its quick action, fuel consumption is much lower, making it an economical system. Air conditioning parts are also cheap at carpecashparts.co.uk</ u>, so any fault can be fixed without problems.
3. Entertainment during the trip
Due to the existence of internet in many cars, entertainment is now possible, especially for passengers. Currently, you can access YouTube videos in your car, as well as Netflix series. Connecting your mobile device to the car's own system is also simple, via Bluetooth, and allows the driver to listen to the music on their mobile phone. If you prefer, you can listen to music on Spotify and Youtube, or even take the opportunity to catch up on podcasts. The ease of access to in-car entertainment, however, should be used responsibly. Remember that your distraction can cause an accident. Therefore, avoid videos, series or other forms of content that may distract you from driving. New technologies are here to stay, even in the automotive world. These greatly facilitate the lives of drivers and allow for safer driving. Tell us: does your car already have all these unique technologies?
