Latest Features In Cars

Interfaces that recognize and automatically respond to your voice.

It's Cool: While we're not really there in terms of a completely talkative car like KITT from Knight Rider, the likes of Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and more have implemented UConnect voice recognition systems in their 2015 models that respond to your voice for any number of tasks. Asking your automobile things like "Where is the closest gas station? " or "How do I get home? " are eventually possible and quite convenient.

GPS that automatically analyzes traffic and locates the very best way round it.

It's Cool: We can all agree that visitors stinks. Acura's innovative Real-Time Traffic feature on the 2016 MDX works with the built-in GPS method to find the perfect way to go around traffic, while spotting accidents, weather events, and construction on the road. It's a great deal less of a hassle (and safer) than pulling out your phone.

Crash detection sensors that get you the help that you need, fast.

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 use mobile connectivity and sensors to dial 911 and send assistance to wherever you are. Every second counts.

Windows that clean themselves and deflect fluid mechanically.

It's Cool: Kia and other auto makers are actively featuring "hydrophobic" windows for its 2015 and 2016 car models, which is coated glass that prevents stuff such as rain, dirt, and other debris out of touching your precious windows. It's like built-in Rain-X to your ride, without the need to apply it yourself.

Built-in night vision and radar detection for avoiding objects and wilderness.

Why It's Cool: We've experienced nighttime drives when even your high beams aren't sufficient to cause you to feel secure. But since we live in the future, car manufacturers such as BMW and Audi have taken it on themselves to create real night vision dashboard systems which operate with detectors and allow you to view wildlife like deer or items such as trash cans at the complete dark.

Trunks that automatically open if your hands are full.

Why It's Cool: It's always a nightmare trying to open your trunk when your hands are full with groceries or beach stuff; you generally wind up trying to kick your trunk open or do some awkward hand dance movement to make it work. The 2015 Kia Sedona helps you out by mechanically opening your back when it detects your smart key in your pocket, and is programmable for safety and easy access.
