Like the other technologies, the car also has technologies that are always updated as technology in general. Now the car lot in it which is always technology developed for enhanced to be more comfortable in use. This is some technology that was in the car:


Navigation System: Cars with navigation system are becoming quite common in the United States. This advanced car technology guides the driver with audible and visual directions. The driver has to enter the destination, may be restaurants or a specific street and the system guides accordingly.

Economy Mode: All car owners are very conscious about issues like conserving fuel as far as possible. Let's take the example of using an air conditioner (AC). Many of us are in the habit of switching it off, when it is not required. In recent times, the automobile manufacturers are making cars with the 'economy mode' feature, which aims at switching off the non-essential systems of the car automatically.

Curtain Airbags: Car airbags placed on the dashboard and steering wheel have been in use, since last few decades. In some of the latest car models, curtain airbags are placed in the headliner area, just above the windows as a car safety feature. This ensures minimum head injury to both, the person sitting in the front seat and the back seat during a car accident.

Black Box Technology: Black box technology, also known as event data recorders, like the flight recorders used in airplanes, are used for recording the details of the car at a certain time. In North America, this feature is installed in majority of the cars with airbags. With such a feature, the car owner can show proof of the driving speed, the location and other details. This feature is very useful in terms of legal issues and car insurance claims, for example, in case of car accidents.

Run-Flat Tires: Run-flat tires is a feature in some latest hybrid cars, in which the tires do not change their shape, when without air pressure in them. In such a condition, the car can even be driven for 50 miles or so. Hence, with run-flat tires, the convenience and security levels of the car are increased.

 
Car That Parks by Itself: Imagine a car that parks by itself! Yes, I am not kidding, cars with such a feature will come in the market soon. With such an advanced technology, the driver only needs to put his foot on the brake and automatically, the car will parallel-park by itself. Well! Doesn't this sound very interesting? It will be useful, while managing the car in tight parking areas and garages.

Like that car technology today. Maybe in the future created more extreme technology.
