Innovation is already behind the wheel of the modern automobiles. Yes, smart connectivity is now shaping the Puffco Glass sector in a never before way. While some of these technologies are already on the verge of becoming mainstream, there are other technologies that are just on their nascent state and are on the making. Most automotive management services predict that together these technologies will shape the future of the connected automobiles of the future.
Here are the 5 trends that will shape the future of the connectivity in automotive industry.
1. Self-driving cars
Self-driving cars that can run on the road without the intervention of the driver behind the wheel is already a reality with several automakers having come with their respective models of such cars. Already out through several successful test-runs Driverless cars truly holds the future of the automobile in the world. But according to expertise of leading automotive management services, driverless cars in spite of being already a reality, still a decade or so is required for such cars to become public and hit the road as regular vehicles.
2. AI-powered car infotainment systems
The infotainment systems of the modern cars are increasingly getting powerful and responsive and already they are all apt to respond to most regular commands including voice commands. The AI-powered virtual assistants will rule the future car infotainment systems of the cars to respond to passengers and driver in more responsive ways. AI is supposed to be introduced in the car infotainment systems of the future cars in just one or two years from now.
3. Blockchain-Powered Maintenance and Repair
We all are aware how the counterfeit car parts cause performance failure and in the long run damage vehicles. But as of now, in many countries to prevent such counterfeit parts entering the market there is no trusted system in place. In this respect, Blockchain based maintenance and repair mechanism can really play a revolutionary role in authenticating car parts. Blockchain which as a distributed ledger system allows no deletion or tampering of data while offering open and widespread access to data can actually help to authenticate car parts through an easily accessible distributed ledger of car parts.
4. Vehicle-to-Vehicle Connectivity
Vehicle to Vehicle connectivity commonly referred to as V2V technology allows cars on the road sharing information and keeping in touch with each other. On the road, a car can share information concerning speed, traffic, road conditions, any dangerous threats, etc. Automotive management services maintains that such V2V communication not only dramatically improves car safety and security it also actively helps cars avoiding routes that may take longer to reach the destination because of the heavy traffic. Already some cars are having a better in-car communication system and there are already highly equipped fleet management systems in place. All these together will shape the fully equipped Vehicle to Vehicle connectivity system of the future.
5. AR powered maintenance
Augmented Reality technology which already penetrated many industries and niches because of the unique capability of integrating the digital interaction to the real world around. Just like finding the digital game character of Pokemon in a popular AR game like Pokemon Go in an AR powered vehicle repair and maintenance environment the servicemen can render their services with guidance from a digital interface showing each and every part of the car.
A service engineer being able to see the entire car starting from the car seats to the interior features to the engine and bonnet can easily have a guided experience in repairing the entire car. This will help the car industry saving huge on maintenance and services. For customers also, this will ensure more precision, timely service and longer durability of the vehicle.
