The technology of car safety features has made fantastic strides over the last number of years, and we can all expect that vehicle safety infrastructures will continue developing as progress continues. This technology has not only made vehicles more comfortable and practical to use, but has made driving much safer for everyone. Here’s a guide to some of the vehicle safety technology updates that we are likely to see in the future, as prepared by the vehicle towing experts at Chicago Towing.

Infrastructure Analysis Beyond Your Vehicle

This technology, likely being pioneered by Qualcomm and Ford, will utilize telecom chips of the Vehicle to Everything (C2CX) category. This allows your car to communicate with others on the road garnering information about road signs, roadblocks, accidents up ahead, and traffic lights.

Automatic Parking Spot Location

Bosch will create technology that allows vehicles to automatically measure gaps between parked cars as they drive around, providing live updates to an on-screen map that can help you find an ideal parking spot.

Talk Control

Mercedes-Benz created technology called MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) which is a high resolution display interface that allows the driver to interact via touchscreen, buttons, and a Siri-like voice control. It will be able to learn based on preference, and provide preemptive suggestions based on use patterns.

Facial Expression Reading

Volkswagen collaborated with NVIDIA to create an artificial intelligence system that can recognize your face as you approach the car to unlock it, monitor your eyes to examine the level of your alertness, and increase the autonomous driving skills of your car.
