Five car lotions of the future that have already been invented

Technological progress is now flying forward, only the heels are sparkling. As soon as we got used to mobile phones without buttons, wristwatches learned how to send SMS. It was worth ceasing to be surprised by wireless headphones, as these headphones are presented at the exhibition of achievements of the IT economy, but with a built-in system that independently selects the appropriate music.

A separate topic is cars. There is such competition in this market that if the company stops regularly inventing something like that, it will instantly lose all customers. Put a provincial person in any supercar now, so he will not immediately understand whether he is in a car or on a spaceship. Iron horses are stuffed with all sorts of bells and whistles up to their ears. And there is no doubt that the most advanced technologies for today will be installed on the most ordinary cars in a certain number of years.

1. Autopilot

The main hit, about which car magazines have been scribbling a note a week for a year. Many auto giants and Google, which has joined them, are engaged in the development and improvement of the system that controls the car without assistance. Moreover, even KAMAZ intended to launch an unmanned version of the truck into mass production in ten years! Taxi drivers all over the world are concerned: the prospect of being out of work looms on the horizon.

Today, as we understand it, the American company Tesla is in the lead in the autopilot race. Their self-sufficient car is officially in the testing stage, but dozens of videos are already walking on the Internet, in which stunned passers-by stare at a car that is driving without a driver. In the spring, however, there was an extremely unpleasant episode. In Florida, a Tesla Model S, which was in automatic mode, was involved in a fatal accident. As a result of the investigation, however, it was found that the driver himself was to blame — he did not follow the road.

2. Circular overview

It is unclear whether parking becomes more difficult or easier? On the one hand, the density with which yards, lawns and playgrounds are forced by cars increases every year. Accordingly, it's getting harder to fit in between them. However, parking sensors are now found in basic configurations more often than a cigarette lighter. And their efficiency is growing by leaps and bounds.

Nissan, for example, has equipped its new Qashqai City 360 with an all-round view system. The display shows a view of the car from above, which allows you to always keep the situation under control. If a moving object appears dangerously close, a characteristic signal is heard. In addition, by installing a self-cleaning system, the engineers made sure that the rear-view camera functioned in any weather.

3. Four-zone climate control

The more people there are in the car, the higher the probability that someone will be dissatisfied with the temperature on board. Fathers who deliver their wife and children in the morning will not let you lie. A struggle is unfolding for the right to control climate control. Compromise leaves everyone angry.

Owners of luxury SUVs are spared from this problem. The interior of the Infiniti QX80 or, say, Lexus LX 570 is divided into four separate climatic zones. Each passenger has the opportunity to adjust the temperature for themselves. In addition, the air is being cleaned from the main allergens, microbes, unpleasant odors and other rubbish.

4. Maneuvering system with trailer

If you set a suitable temperature in the cabin, in principle, it is possible without the use of clever technology, then it is normal to park, having a trailer on the towbar or, worse, a trailer, not everyone can, to put it mildly. This is a very special art, not inferior in complexity to playing the organ. It's easier to detach the trailer and push it into the garage yourself.

Range Rover Sport 2017 model year is proud of its towing assistance system. The company's engineers assure that thanks to this innovation, even a beginner will be able to maneuver with a trailer with ease. Using the rear-view camera image displayed on the central screen, the driver sets the desired course, and the car, in accordance with the instructions, directs the trailer itself where it should. The person will only have to control the speed of the SUV.

5. Apple Car Play and Android Auto

Apple and Google deprive traffic cops of an important income item — fines for talking on the phone while driving. In 2014, Apple introduced a system that allows you to connect an iPhone to a multimedia-adapted car. Andriod, as usual, got his bearings a little later. An application that supports voice control displays all the phone functions that the driver needs on the car display. So, without distracting from the road, you can not only make calls, but also plot routes, choose music, send and receive messages. Support for Apple Car Play and Android Auto has already been implemented by almost all major automakers. In total, there are more than 200 models, and their number is constantly growing.
