Automatic parallel and vertical parking systems.
Why It's Cool: If you live in a big town or a metropolitan area in general, finding parking can get tough and generally direct you to the hassle of having to parallel park. Now, however, every firm from Toyota into Lexus and Ford to Volvo includes parking aids which find a space and execute a near flawless parallel park maneuver without screwing up anybody 's bumper. This year, car maker Bosch is even gearing up allowing drivers to escape a car and have vehicles park themselves with the support of an app.
Access to your own Android or iPhone without having to catch them while driving.
Why It's Cool: Everyone (your dad, your regional police officer, Demi Lovato) has told you to never, ever use your phone when driving. However, Google and Apple have recognized that individuals need to see information on their phones while driving, and generated Android Auto and CarPlay for easy, secure access. Both are being built by a whole lot of auto manufacturers into a number of dashboards, however, you can also buy a hybrid navigation system with both if you so want.
GPS that automatically analyzes traffic and locates the best way round it.
Why It's Cool: We can all agree that traffic stinks. Acura's innovative Real-Time Traffic feature on the 2016 MDX works with the built-in GPS system to obtain the best way to go around traffic, while viewing accidents, weather events, and construction on the street. It's a lot less of a hassle (and safer) than pulling your mobile phone.
Interfaces that recognize and automatically react to your voice.
Why It's Cool: While we're not quite there in relation to a fully talkative car like KITT from Knight Rider, the likes of Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and more have employed UConnect voice recognition systems in their 2015 models that react to your voice for a range of jobs. Asking your car things like "Where is the nearest gas station? " or "Just how do I get home? " are eventually possible and very convenient.
Cars that drive themselves.
It's Cool: The holy grail of contemporary car technology is having cars that drive themselves, and the newest version of Tesla's Model S is right about there with its Autopilot feature. The system utilizes a camera, radar, and 360 degree sonar detectors to control speed, change lanes, turns, and park automatically. Self-driving cars are going to be among the hottest things in the automotive industry during the next few decades, with GM and even Apple rumored to get in on the action.
