The document discusses several emerging automobile technologies in 2020, including self-driving cars, which Google is testing, and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication that enhances safety and navigation. Additional innovations include augmented reality windshields providing information about the environment, energy-storing body panels improving efficiency, and personal preference pre-sets for a customized driving experience. These advancements have the potential to significantly impact the future of the automobile industry.
Automobile technologies in 2020
- 1. Automobile Technologies in 2020 PRATIK KRISHNAN
- 2. Self Driving Cars This might be the single biggest technology that will hit the automobile industry. It might seem like an idea from an old sci-fi movie or some Japanese anime, but google is already in the process of testing out the prototypes. Currently the design has drawn a lot of flak but tie ups with major automobile giants can push this Technology into the main stream.
- 4. V2V Car Communication V2V stands for vehicle to vehicle communication. Cars will be equipped with sensors and communication mechanisms that will enable them to transfer data to each other. This will help avoid accidents, chalk out new routes in case of log jams. For example if the driver of one car were to jump he traffic lights other cars in the vicinity would be notified to slow down in order to avoid any accident. Also V2I i.e. vehicle to infrastructure seems another possible avenue which can prove useful. For e.g. slow down or stop signs can signal cars to slow down or stop in specific areas such as schools or hospitals.
- 6. Augmented Reality Windshields These will be similar to the Nokia City Lens features but on the windshield. Here, all the places being viewed through the screen have basic details shown beside them and you can use gestures to select and obtain more details about the place. BMW is already testing this out with basic data of places being displayed on the windshield of its prototype. But this technology has the potential to have the whole UI of the in-built computer to be displayed on the windshield.
- 8. Energy Storing Body Panels These panels are fashioned out of thin yet tough materials used in satellites. They have tremendous energy storing capacity and are much more efficient as compared to the lithium ion batteries in cars today. These panels can be integrated with solar panels to store energy, the dynamo in the wheels to store energy generated when driving and also through the friction generated during breaking.
- 10. Personal Preference Pre-sets Cars to have intuitive bots that record every drivers’ preferences and habits and thus offers a better and personal driving experience to each driver. For e.g. the temperature settings, pre checking daily routes for jams and accidents etc.
