The Future of Automotive Technology: What NSW Drivers Need to Know
by Roselands Auto Lakemba MechanicThe 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.
