Car Technology of the Future – What to Expect
(Image Courtesy: Art of Gears)
Natalia Cole famously articulated, “Challenge what the future holds”. And
humanity has been precisely doing that since time immemorial.
Who would have thought that we might hold a device in our hand, which
would connect us with anyone across the world by clicking a few buttons?
Moreover, act as our communication device, organizer, time keeper, alarm, camera,
video-conferencing, etc.
The future would present exciting surprises and that applies to the car
technology without any uncertainty. In the following lines, we explore two
technologies which are under development and may be available in the near future.
And specific other Technological advancements. Which an enterprising inventor or
research team, might accept & explore and bring it to reality.
TECHNOLOGY ALREADY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
V2V – Vehicle to Vehicle
This future technology for cars is already under development and believed to be
in the trial phase at Ford.
This future car technology
falls under the bigger umbrella
of Traffic Management System.
This car technology of the future
would
enable
the
cars
to
communicate with each other. A
typical scenario would be that
you commenced on a blind turn

and as an oversight miss the
oncoming traffic. No sweat! The future car technology of V2V comes to your rescue. As
it was continuously communicating with other technology enabled vehicles. And both
the vehicles apply their brakes to avoid any collision.
Augmented Reality (AR) enabled tutorial.
This future technology for cars is already getting implemented. BMW is deploying
it on the dashboards of a few of their cars.
We might have faced difficulty, let us say, in checking the engine oil levels in our
cars. And instructions manuals of the car, as elaborate they are, seldom come to your
rescue. The cars of the future would have Augmented Reality. All you need to do is
point your cell phone in the direction of the section you need help. The AR enabled car
of the future would play an instructional video of the section.
CAR TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE
Cars that Levitate
Magnetic Levitation is already deployed on the Rail Road on various parts of the
world. The levitation might be a Car technology of the future where one would not run
the car on the road. But cars of the future may levitate and run a few inches above the
ground on a magnetic field.
Ready to fly with this car technology of the future!
Fission Fuel Cells
The field of Nano technology is growing by leaps and bounds. The cars of the
future may be able to run on the car Technology of the future – Nano Fuel Cells.
Imagine the Nano Fuel cell – The car technology of the future where the green
“fission reaction” albeit controlled. Moreover, at the Nano levels only, provides fuel and
energy to run your car of the future. This car technology of the future would not only
ensure the efficiency, but would also a source of never ending Green Energy for your
car of the future.
Biometrically Bonded Cars of the future
Remember the Tsaheylu of the Na’vi’s in the blockbuster Avatar?
We may find a way with a car-technology of the future to actually formulate a
biometric bond with the car. And this car of the future would only run with the persons
it was bonded. Once it gets enabled with this car technology of the future.
