5 Smart Car Technologies That We Want To See in Near Future

With the rapid advancement of technology, the car technology seems to have fallen backward. Comparing auto industry to the computer industry seems like comparing two different generations of technology. We have latest technology of mobiles, tablets, and smartphones but clunky GPS device attached to our automobiles. Since a long time, the one and only purpose of the car is transportation, which doesn't meet the new technology demands. Now we want more entertainment, comfort and functionality in our car than ever before.

Let us take an analogy of phone. A phone has evolved into different routes and finally reached to the smartphone. Now it's time for the car to take the same route. So, here are the 5 smart technologies we want to see in a car soon:

i.) Wifi
Wifi is the basic feature that future car should possess. Without it, all the other technologies will be useless. Several manufacturers have already started working to make the car a rolling hotspot. Ideally, the car wifi system will have the ability to directly connect your laptop/computer to your car.

ii.) Communication between vehicles
Communication between vehicles will be like two machines communicating with each other for smooth traffic and less congested road. This technology will increase road safety and less collision between vehicles. For eg: you can warn another car coming in your direction aggressively through car communication. According to one of the famous Toronto limo service provider -' The communication between vehicle is possible very soon and it will change the way we travel. '

iii.) Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition is still new even in the smartphones. But it's a must feature for the automobiles now. The voice input control of smartphones, mp3 players, tablets or any device used within the car can decrease the accident in a tremendous amount. Till now, only Apple's Siri is voice recognition system that has been highly praised along with some positive sign of Google Now.

iv.) Health Monitoring
Soon we will see the technology that monitors the health of the driver through a seat belt or steering wheel. Due to the rapid development of wearables this feature might not look significant but in future, the wearables and car health monitoring can combine to give you complete health monitoring and emergency rescue package. For eg: You may see a feature of pulling the car over and calling the paramedics in case of heart attack.

v.) Autonomous Vehicle
We can categorize autonomous vehicle in two categories. One is driving the vehicle by human voice command and another one is fully autonomous where the car is driven safely to the destination without human intervention. The fully autonomous car system might take some time to be live. We can probably expect by 2020 it is available to general public.
