The basic tenets of driving will always remain the same: Driving is a way to get from one place to another. However, with the advent and the continuous onslaught of technological innovations, driving may change in your future. Consider these key points.
Autonomous Vehicles Will Take the Wheel
Autonomous vehicles that drive without a driver used to be part of the makings of a great science fiction movie. Well, no more. They are here and already being used to help make your commute or grocery run easier than ever. That being said, they are also still in their early stages and do not operate without occasional issues and safety concerns. And while most people might think of these vehicles as moving across roads and streets on their own, it can actually take a large data center to collect and process information to keep everything running smoothly. The incorporation of data sets and algorithms, along with automotive functionality, is truly amazing. It will be interesting to watch the industry evolve.
Electric Vehicles for Maximum Efficiency
If you have not paid too much attention to electric vehicles, you can still get on board. Regardless of any government’s potential hand in reducing discounts or refunds on an energy-efficient vehicle, you can still reap its benefits when you are ready to purchase a car or truck. And, once again, with advances in science, their technology and battery life will only continue to get better. Charging time has already come a long way since the electric vehicle’s inception and will certainly speed up even more in the future. Look for newer, longer-lasting batteries that continue to reduce in size and are easier to recycle, and a growing infrastructure to accommodate eco-conscious drivers.
GPS Navigation Improvements
You definitely already incorporate GPS into your daily lives. From finding a local coffee shop within walking distance to tracking your friend’s rideshare to ensure she gets home safely to keeping tabs on your mom when she’s late to pick you up, GPS is part of your life. Unfortunately, you have probably noticed that there are limitations. As time passes, these problems will surely be rectified; and, GPS will become more reliable without dropping you a few blocks from your destination only to fend for yourself in uncertain traffic, or it will quickly be able to reroute you at a moment’s notice instead of receiving the rerouting suggestion when you are already stuck in traffic on the interstate with no off-ramp in site.
