The future car is smart, clean and self-driving


The automotive industry is one of the most developed sectors in recent years and has been characterized by continuous renewal and its ability to absorb the technological development that included all components of the car. If today's car is equipped with the same technology as the aircraft 10 years ago, tomorrow's car will be more technologically advanced and will become a smart and self-driving machine connected to the Internet of Things and can communicate with others and is not 
polluting the environment.
The main function of the vehicle as a mobility tool is no longer the only concern for today's car manufacturers. In the context of employing technology to develop a luxurious modern lifestyle, the car is a smart mobility machine that focuses on performance, comfort, and safety and reduces the stress of daily commuting. Future vehicles will provide maximum comfort, luxury, safety and reduce road hazards while reducing environmental pollution.

One of the most important techniques in this area is to connect cars to each other in the Internet of Things and the road information systems, enabling the car's computer to receive information about busy points in the roads and suggest alternative routes to avoid them.

Smartphone functionality will also be integrated into future vehicles. Google, with Android Auto and Apple's CarPlay, currently dominates the market. These systems give smartphone applications the ability to control entertainment or navigation on the car screen, as well as integrate text messaging and call services, allowing their leader to use them safely.

Self - Leadership
Self-driving is another feature of the future, a technology that uses sensors and computers to navigate the streets without a driver sitting behind the wheel.

Although this technology has been associated with Google, which has been working for many years on a self-driving car, many carmakers have already tested self-propelled systems such as the “Traffic Assist” system in which the car is in charge of braking and steering the wheel during traffic. Traffic, navigation control systems, self-aligning and keeping track of the road.

Nissan recently unveiled its IDS self-driving car, and on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, BMW also offered a self-driving experimental car, the Vision Next 100.

Self-driving systems - as well as smart - will help prevent a significant proportion of accidents on the road thanks to the exclusion of the human element behind a significant proportion due to fatigue, inattention or drowsiness. Automated driving will also help save energy and reduce consumption by up to 15%.

Safety and security
Automotive engineers say the cars will be equipped with radars to avoid collisions and alert drivers who lose their focus due to drowsiness or fatigue, which are the main causes of car accidents. The vehicles will be equipped with light vibration systems in the seat, seat belt or pedal that can alert the driver in dangerous situations. This feature is expected to be available in all vehicles by 2020.

Safety is also expected to equip vehicles to minimize losses when exposed to risk from the new airbag technology introduced by US TRW, which uses radars on the sides of the vehicle and works to anticipate danger before it happens and release pillows. Outward in the direction of the next vehicle, this technology will help reduce damage in strong accidents and completely avoid damage in minor traffic accidents.

clean energy
The car of the future will also be environmentally friendly to respond to one of the most important concerns that concern humanity: the maintenance of a clean environment and reduce the sources of pollution, which currently contributes to transport by a significant percentage. Electric and used clean fuel engines will gradually replace those used for oil derivatives.

Toyota's Mirai, a hydrogen-powered car, is one of these clean cars and has been marketed in Japan and the United States and is expected to be marketed soon in Europe. The car holds two hydrogen tanks and a battery that produces electric current as soon as hydrogen comes into contact with air oxygen to start the engine.

The battery can provide enough power to travel 500 kilometers before recharging in just three minutes. But the number of hydrogen stations is still limited. They are only 100 in Japan, 50 in Germany and 68 in California.

However, despite the heavyweight received by technology companies to develop future cars, many problems still stand in the way of smart and clean car, the most important price which is expected to be high compared to traditional cars because of the cost of smart equipment that will be on board, as well as the development of traffic laws to adapt With the technical development of self-leadership and the determination of civil and penal responsibilities when necessary.
