Best Technologically Equipped Cars
It's quite
amazing how car technology is quickly advancing. This is not only to save the
auto industry from collapsing, but also because advanced technology may also
save a lot of lives on the road. The following are among best technologically
equipped cars today
BMW 7 Series
This has
cameras mounted on its sides, rear and front of the vehicles for some
360-degree view. Its front camera may detect animals and passengers using night
vision and alerting the driver to potential danger with some yellow highlight.
Similar camera, mounted close to the driver's mirror may also read road signs,
and alert the driver about speed limit.
Mercedes
E-350
Though this
car cannot read road signs, it's equipped with similar camera system to BMW
Series. The car will alert you about pedestrians on the road. E-350 may
determine when you are too long, and alert you through using attention assist
feature. This car basically uses 7 variables. These include how long you have
been driving, and when you are frequently changing lanes.
Opel
(Vauxhall)
Similar to
the BMW 7 series, this car may read road signs employing a camera that's
mounted close to the rear-view mirror. Opel Insignia, for European road signs,
compares scanned images some 300 meters from it, at around 30 frame captures
each second against a big database of licit road signs, and then reports the
speed to the driver. This is helpful on long road trips, or in places there are
numerous road signs.
Volvo XC60
This car is
amazing in that it employs adaptive cruise control -a normal driver assistance
system slowing the car and speeding it up again based on traffic-but at speeds
that are less than 10 miles per hour. Its City Safety feature employs infrared
camera in order to detect vehicles. When you are driving, this car is able to
detect another vehicle, and it will automatically slow down.
Infiniti M
Infiniti
created the lane-keeping system that's now common on majority of vehicles which
alerts you when you depart from your lane. This car basically nudges you gently
back to your original lane. A new air control system may detect gases or odors
in it, and automatically close outside vents, re-circulating interior air at
the same time.
Volkswagen
Jetta TDI sips fuel
Majority of
technology in this car is under the hood and not inside passenger compartment.
It employs unique clean diesel engine for best fuel economy on the road. Its
engine uses some electronically controlled turbo charger, and fuel injection
system which more accurately will direct to the engine when compared to other
vehicles.
Acura ZDX
Driving
should be fun, particularly during long trips. This car boasts of the most
technologically advanced sound system. It has 10 speakers with a total of 435
watts. The sound system is measured precisely so that you may hear each lick
and cymbal tick.
Chrysler
Grand Caravan
It's not new having live television in a car.
With FLO TV that was developed by Qualcomm, this car has access to a much
broader TV channels selection. This includes each major network, Disney movies
and sports channels. The service additionally employs a multi-cast digital
signal which makes it have better quality. With the advance of car technology,
it's only right that drivers should acquaint themselves with latest
technologies. This is why practical
driving test is vital in
ensuring that the drivers may safely drive on different traffic and road
conditions and be conversant with the Highway Code, and may show this through
