The Future of Automotive Technology: What NSW Drivers Need to Know

The automotive industry is changing at a rate that we’ve never seen before. Customers are more demanding, industry regulations are becoming stricter and companies are doing everything it takes to get ahead of their competitors. So what does all this mean for the future of the automotive industry? What do NSW drivers need to know? Is your mechanic that does your car service in Kingsgrove up to date with all these changes? Let’s find out what advancements in technology you should know about;

Driverless Cars

Self-driving cars are not yet commercially available in Australia but they are being trialled here and overseas so we could see them on public roads in the near future. The models we are trialling here have driving assistant features but a human driver is still in control so they’re not completely automated. That said; the Australian government has said that fully-autonomous cars will become a reality for NSW drivers in the next 10 years.

Connectivity

The future of cars and their connectivity capability is filled with promise as billions of dollars is being invested in research and development. NSW drivers can look forward to an improved experience with features such as eye tracking, facial recognition, and improved connections to satellite systems.

Augmented Reality (AR) in Vehicle Interfaces

It may seem like we’re not quite there yet but the day is soon coming when drivers can look to their windshields for information on traffic update and navigation. This info will be projected onto the glass so drivers don’t have to take their eyes off the road to look at other devices. Experts are saying that this new technology will improve driver safety and overall driver experience and, with big tech giants like Google and Amazon coming on board, this is one area where we can expect to see other huge developments.

Advanced Materials

Weight reduction is currently a major goal for automotive manufacturers and major advancements are being made. Carbon fibre is replacing aluminum and lightweight materials such as magnesium and titanium are becoming more commonplace. And with the adaptation of electric cars on the rise, using advanced materials to make frames and components more lightweight is a huge demand that manufacturers all over the world are working on.

Shared Mobility Features

Would you like to hire out your car when you’re not using it? Or maybe you think car sharing with a family member would save you money? If so, you’ll be happy to know that manufacturers all over the world are working to reduce the overall number of vehicles on the road and they’re committed to addressing urban transportation challenges. What this means for NSW drivers is improved shared mobility features that will allow for improved ride and car sharing.

So with all that to look forward to, the next time you book in for a car service in Kingsgrove, ask your mechanic for advice on what features you need to look out for in the short-term.
