Latest Features In Cars

Access to your Android or iPhone without having to grab them while driving.

Why It's Cool: Everyone (your daddy, your regional police officer, Demi Lovato) has told you to never, ever use your telephone while driving. But, Google and Apple have acknowledged that individuals will need to see information on their telephones while driving, and created Android Auto and CarPlay for easy, safe access. Both are being built-in by a ton of car makers into a number of dashboards, but you can also buy a hybrid system with both if you so want.

Cars that drive themselves.

It's Cool: The holy grail of contemporary automobile technology is having cars that drive themselves, and the most recent edition of Tesla's Model S is right about there using its Autopilot feature. The system utilizes a camera, radar, and 360 degree sonar sensors to control rate, change lanes, turns, and park automatically. Self-driving cars are going to be among the hottest things in the automotive sector over the upcoming few decades, with GM and even Apple rumored to get in on the action.

Automatic stop and begin engines to conserve gas during these traffic jams.

It's Cool: Your car goes through a lot of fuel as it's not moving in traffic, and some folks even go through the step of quitting their car when items come to a stop. The 2015 Chevy Malibu gets rid of all of the guesswork and automatically stops a vehicle if your foot is on the brake pedal in a shake, and then restarts the car as soon as your foot is off, saving your gasoline and saving the environment.

Crash detection sensors that provide you with the help you need, fast.

Why It's Cool: A car crash is among the funniest things anybody will go through, and if you've been in one, trying to signal for help becomes just one of the most difficult things to do. In today's age, companies like Ford and GM utilize cellular connectivity and sensors to dial 911 and deliver assistance to where you are. Every moment counts.

Trunks that mechanically open even if your hands are full.

Why It's Cool: It's always a nightmare trying to open your back as soon as your hands are full with groceries or beach stuff; you usually end up attempting to kick your trunk open or do some awkward hand dance movement to make it operate. The 2015 Kia Sedona helps you out by mechanically opening your back when it finds your smart key in your pocket, and can be programmable for security and effortless access.

A sunfroof that automatically blocks light and enables you to see what you would like to.

Why It's Cool: We've evolved beyond the point where sunroofs are just for looking trendy and sticking out your head. Mercedes-Benz's newer SLK models include a new "Magic Sky" sunroof which can be black to block outside sunroof and UV rays, or lightened to see more of that big, beautiful clear sky.
