How Is Smart Technology Set to Transform the Automotive Industry?

摘要

Whether it be for safety, entertainment, comfort, or innovation, you can be confident that manufacturers are working tirelessly to develop the latest bit of tech every single day. In recent years, the focus for automotive giants around the world has been automation. Manufacturing innovation has given us so much in the past - what the future holds is almost unimaginable. In a way, it is almost as if we are starting afresh, because the cars of the future will be so advanced we will barely be able to recognise them. With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the smart technologies we can expect to see making an appearance before the end of the decade. Vehicle to vehicle communication. In a perfect world, there would be no car crashes. Unfortunately, we cannot see into the future, and we cannot pre-empt what is around the next corner. But what if our cars could? Vehicle-to-vehicle communication, or V2V systems as they are known, will "use dedicated short-range communications (DSRC), which are two-way wireless channels that enable V2V-equipped cars to communicate with each other at roughly 300 meters, and whose broadcast updates 10 times per second."
