More than just a drive
Technology and convenience on wheels
Much like the modern cellphone, cars on offer today are slowly turning into computers on wheels. No longer just a means of transportation, they too are becoming indespensible productivity partners. Many are now gaining connectivity features that allow you to synchronize your phone and its abilities, stream your favorite music, have you schedule and text messages dictated to you, and perform simple tasks for you via voice command.
When it comes to driving, many now includes systems capable of alerting you when you’ve been driving too long, collision detection systems that inform you when the car ahead is decelerating too quickly, or lane keeping assists that sound an alarm when it detects your car is slowly leaving its lane. The more advanced systems actually take control of the car itself, reacting more quickly than the driver possibly could. These systems automatically brake to avoid collision, or automatically nudge the car back into the lane when it detects the driver drifting out of it.
There are improvements to how the power is produced and delivered as well. Engines are becoming far more efficient with the use of computerized valve control that adjusts to the varying conditions of the load as well the pressure on the throttle pedal. Hybrids are no longer a niche vehicle but on offer in various forms from hatchbacks to sedans and SUVs. And soon, we will be able to enjoy electric vehicles which can not only be charged at home but can even power our home during emergencies.
You don’t have to pay eightfigure prices for these features. Smart technology can be found in the most affordable segments to the most luxurious, with the main goal of increasing the safety and convenience of the occupants inside.
Join us as we take a glimpse at the best in-vehicle technology on offer today and see that the future truly is now.
