We all remember the 80’s classic Back to the Future with its flying cars and skyways, but how will the automotive future really look in the future? What will the best remote car starter or top racing engine look like? Who will have saved the auto industry? We haven’t got a time machine here but we’ve peered into all of the latest automotive industry trends and info to bring you an insight into the future. One of the biggest concerns will be safety, with car companies continuing to develop better technology to reduce accidents. Let’s take a look at what you can expect.
Warnings
There will be a whole load of new technology used to make you a much safer driver, for instance, collision mitigation systems that make use of radar to help you when you’re getting too close or driving much too fast. These systems can “precharge” your brakes so that they have more power when you come to step on the pedal and tighten up your seat belts ahead of time.
Camera Systems In The Auto Industry
Rear view camera technology is most likely to become the standard for all cars in the future. These cameras will be able to show you a view of who or what is behind you so as to alert you in case of danger. There are a number of cameras out there available already that provide some pretty comprehensive views of the rear, for instance, Ford and BMW have cross path cameras that can display a full 180 degrees view from the front to the back of your car which will alert you of problems like cars pulling up to your side.
Nightvision Technology and Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian detection systems will become more of the norm in the future. If you’re going to be moving faster than you need to be when you see a person in front, the vehicle will slow down and won’t be able to hit the pedestrian. Night vision will also be combined with this technology so that the car can see if someone is lurking at night. A combination of both of these types of technology will be sure to create safe cars that save lives.

Cross-vehicle Communication
Can you imagine? Cars will be able to talk directly to each other to avoid any accidents. In fact, this is one of those fascinating auto industry trends that is currently being developed by companies such as Ford – the system will warn oncoming drivers that you’d like to pass on country roads or alert you to a careless driver that is about to hit through a red light. There are all sorts of exciting potential applications for this type of technology.
