Car technology is advancing at amazing speed so its no surprise when something cool turns up on the next model when it comes out each year. Therefore, here are some of the latest innovations that will be coming out sometime in the near future that new car buyers can look forward to seeing in the up coming years.

What is Economy Mode?

While we consider that most of us drivers are set in their ways, the odds are we will never make the necessary changes to conserve on fuel. Good examples of such would be, we know that by simply not using our AC increases our fuel economy when we drive, but rather than just rolling down our window when we could to save fuel we opt to use the air conditioner to keep us cool. We are simply set in our ways when it comes to running our AC even when we could be just as comfortable at this time with a window down. With the new idea and innovation of the Economy Mode the car itself will be able to determine what systems in your car are non-essential at the time and turn them off to save on fuel for the driver , examples could be the AC, Cruise Controls and plenty more making these adjustments for the driver automatically . It’s not just an idea in fact; some Hybrids feature an economy mode that limits A/C use on several models right now.

Black Box Technology

Planes have them and cars will too, and why not the Black box on planes have be literally invaluable for discovering on air planes for many years with its ability to get detail records of trips and logs what happens to a plane in flight or when accidents occur. While it’s being debated like most things that come to personal privacy and many people, will no doubt object to the idea of the black box being implemented into cars of the future. The fact is that both Ford and General Motors already are using black Box technology in around two-thirds of the models built, but they are referred to as recorders. Drivers can expect the advancement of these recorders to be able to tell about car accidents, how fast you were driving and much more on the horizon.

Cars That Park for You

Yes, the Cars that actually will do the parking are being tested even today. In fact Toyota is working with such a system in Japan where the driver keeps his foot on the brake while the car amazingly enough parallel parks it’s self. Its future looks bright, as this type of application could be very useful in the future not just in parking but also use in other tight places like garages and other tight places.

Let the Car do the Driving

It’s no longer just a dream or something we have seen in the movies, with the advancement of GPS and robotic technology setting your car on Auto Pilot where the navigation system guides the car to its destination while the driver sits back and relaxes will become a reality sooner than people could imagine. Experimentation and planning is underway with planning the use of magnets and GPS to make this dream become a reality.

Crash Detection

Is already a reality with the Acura RL and it’s called the Collision Mitigation System. One day coming all cars will include this type of safety feature Where the cars decides on its on that a wreck is unavoidable and will warn the driver to brace for impacts as it automatically takes action for us by deploying the airbags hitting the brakes and tightens up seatbelts etc. all own its own.
