How Technology Has Changed Driving for the Better

It’s hard to believe that only a century ago, cars had more in common with carriages of old than they do with the sleek modern vehicles rolling off the assembly line today. However, even in the early days of cars, wide-eyed dreamers used their imagination to paint a picture of what the future of automobiles could hold. If you’ve ever seen pictures of “future” cars from the fifties, you can appreciate how wild that vision could be. But today, we are living in the future, and although we don’t have flying cars, driving has changed in countless ways for the better.

At Mobile Installation in Brooklyn Park, we love helping Minnesota drivers get the most out of their time on the road. In this blog entry, we’ll talk about how technology has improved over the years and what may be coming up on the horizon.

Here are some of the biggest innovations to hit the auto industry:

1.      The Rise of the Smart Car - Smart technologies have proliferated over the past decade, and the future looks bright for the role of AI and computer assistance in vehicles. Many young drivers can’t remember a time before GPS navigation made every drive easier. Now with smart technologies, like collision avoidance and self-driving vehicles, great things continue to be on the horizon. In the very near future, expect self-parking technology and self-correcting vehicles to play a much bigger role.

2.      Better Vehicle Security - Cars are more resistant to thieves than they’ve ever been before. Today’s car alarms help prevent stereo theft and car window breakage. Cameras with streaming video are a great way to get a picture of your surroundings and keep a record of car accidents that take place. And power locks and windows can help you enjoy a safer walk to your car. In the future, retinal scanners and biometric alternatives to keys are expected to make cars virtually impenetrable to thieves.

3.      More Sustainability - Cars of the past were gas guzzlers, but those days are soon to be a thing of the past, judging by the gradual move to hybrid and electric vehicles. Gone are the days of shelling out big bucks every time the fuel prices change. Instead, better-charging innovations will make electric propulsion the standard.
