The different technological advances in the automotive industry have improved the experience by delivering quality driving, since they are present, at present, even in work vehicles, such as in the double cab vansFor example.
Sensors and security systems, among other innovative resources, are increasingly common in cars on the Chilean market. In addition, the integration with mobile devices and the Internet are features that have transformed the way we drive, from the information we have about the route and traffic, to the music we listen to.
New technologies that we find in trucks
Next, we will see the 7 features that cannot be missing in your car if you are a technology lover.
1. Android Auto and Apple Carplay
It’s a smart co-pilot, usually sitting in the radio compartment and featuring a tablet-like interface.
In it you can see your cell phone notifications, answer calls and access a map with GPS to reach your destination.
2. Cruise speed
most of new pick up trucks they allow us to maintain a constant speed without the need for us to put our foot on the pedal.
In addition, thanks to its sensors, it can detect cars in front of us, slowing down to take a prudent distance. What gives us greater comfort when driving, without endangering our safety behind the wheel.
3. Fatigue detectors
The systems that detect the fatigue of the most advanced drivers study their behavior to assess if there is anything out of the ordinary.
For example, they alert the driver through visual alerts on the control panel, through alarms or vibrations in the seats.
This detector is crucial for when we make long trips or at night, since it warns us when we must take a break to continue with the journey in an optimal way.
4. Adaptive headlights
Thanks to its sensors and algorithms, these types of headlights can adjust their intensity and direction, which allows us to see the road better at night. The lights adapt to illuminate the road, preventing us from bothering other drivers.
5. Parking attendant
On the one hand, there are cameras and sensors that provide us with more information about the spaces, allowing us to better calculate the maneuvers we want to carry out.
On the other hand, the information provided by the cameras and sensors allows the car to be able to direct itself. We just have to step on the pedals to park it.
6. Preventive maintenance
Due to the latest technologies, cars and new pick up trucks They have sensors that provide us with data on the state of their mechanical components, such as the engine or the wheels.
Thanks to the vehicle’s algorithms and the history they collect on engine temperature and oil quality, as well as tire pressure, we will receive alerts to perform preventive maintenance.
7. Blind spot detection
This type of detection informs us if we are facing a spatial point that we cannot see through the rear-view mirror. It is a very good tool to avoid crashes, but that is not why we should relax and let our guard down while driving.
How Artificial Intelligence will shape the automotive future?
Currently, the AI that we find in the double cab vans allow the operation of the advances mentioned above.
But this technology continues to increase its processing capacity every day, so it will not only provide us with more accurate information on the state of the vehicle, but it is also expected that in the future it will give us the possibility of autonomous driving in a more affordable way. and accessible to users.
For now, we can enjoy these advances and be part of the path towards the car that drives itself.
