Role of technology in evolving the automobile industry

Technological innovation has always been a part of the industry since vehicles were introduced to major world markets. The automotive industry has witnessed some incredible technological advancements in just the past decade. Automotive technology is constantly evolving with a focus on increasing the safety and efficiency of vehicles.

Like any other industry, the automotive industry is currently developing rapidly. Many new markets and segments have emerged in this area, intensifying the race to develop advanced technologies that will decide the future of the automotive industry.

The incorporation of technological advancements into automobiles makes them safer, and more user-friendly, and it has introduced a number of features that increase the value and utility of the vehicles for their owners. Technologies such as autonomous driving and accident prevention are among the other functions that have been successfully implemented in modern cars.

Some of the innovations that have changed the driving experience are:

  1. Self-driving systems

Autonomous driving is set to change the face of the automotive industry by eliminating the need for a human behind the wheel. The self driving system can automatically adjust your cruising speed from 0 to 155 miles per hour. The system uses two radar sensors in the front of the vehicle that allow the control system to manoeuvre the vehicles. Autonomous driving systems can also be used to automatically park vehicles without driver intervention. This system uses sensors to detect the available space and calculate the exact way to park the car. 

  1. Predictive technology

Automakers are using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to understand driver operating patterns and trends and increase the vehicle’s safety factor. This technology is able to provide users with a highly personalised driving experience. You can set your vehicle’s app and infotainment system preferences using algorithms. Your car will also soon be able to understand voice commands and connect to smart devices 

Another popular application of predictive analytics is predictive maintenance, which detects vehicle maintenance issues before they occur. Predictive collision avoidance systems are also gaining popularity in modern cars, as they perform the function of suppressing the activation of emergency braking to prevent accidents. 

  1. Augmented reality panel

Moving on to even more futuristic advancements, automakers have long considered the use of augmented reality. This technology allows you to turn your windscreen into a screen to display information to the user. Using this technology, cars will be able to identify external elements and display related information on the windscreen to help drivers make informed driving decisions. The system can display relevant information through the HUD, such as current weather, speed, mileage, RPM, speed, and much more.

 An existing technology that has started using augmented reality on the car dashboard is GPS technology, which makes driving easier and safer. Navigation technology using holographic symbols allows drivers to follow directions without taking their eyes off the road.

  1. Safety

Safety is a key part of driving, and safety technology systems are increasingly important to car manufacturers. Safety features are no longer limited to just the number of airbags you have in your car but rather include the addition of new features such as traction and stability control and a standard multi-angle rearview camera. In principle, car manufacturers ensure that there is a set of driver support and accident prevention features. Lane departure warning and lane keeping assist are two of the safety features that can help drivers focus on the road.The Collision Mitigation Braking System is also a last ditch effort to avoid an accident; if it senses that you haven’t reacted to a possible collision, it can apply the brakes and slow down or even stop your vehicle.

 With the convergence of customer demands, electrification, and connectivity, there is now a revolution in automobiles as technology advances. In the coming decades, innovation and creativity will be top priorities for car manufacturers to improve customer satisfaction.
