Self Driving Cars

The single biggest technology that will hit the automobile industry .

It might seem like an idea from an old sci-fi movie or some Japanese anime, but google is already in the process of testing out the prototypes .

Currently the design has drawn a lot of flak but tieups with major automobile giants can push thisTechnology into the main stream .

V2V Car Communication

V2V stands for vehicle to vehicle communication . Cars will be equipped with sensors and communication

mechanisms that will enable them to transfer data to each other, This will help avoid accidents .

Also V2I “vehicle to infrastructure “seems another possible avenue which can prove useful .

Augmented Reality Windshields

These will be similar to the Nokia City Lens features but on the windshield. Here, all the places being viewed through the screen have basic details shown beside them and you can use gestures to select and obtain more details about the place.

BMW is already testing this out with basic data of places being displayed on the windshield of its prototype .

Energy Storing Body Panels

These panels are fashioned out of thin yet tough materials used in satellites. They have tremendous energy storing capacity and are much more efficient as compared to the lithium ion batteries in cars today.

These panels can be integrated with solar panels to store energy, the dynamo in the wheels to store energy generated when driving and also through the friction generated during breaking.

Personal Preference Pre-sets

Cars to have intuitive bots that record every drivers’ preferences and habits and thus offers a better and personal driving experience to each driver.

For e.g. the temperature settings, pre checking daily routes for jams and accidents etc.
