Futuristic car: what should we expect?

Currently, it’s no longer difficult to imagine what the car of the future will look like. Indeed, automakers such as Tesla, Volkswagen, and Mercedes have all already developed their prototypes of futuristic cars. Besides the engine, the car of tomorrow will also rely heavily on artificial intelligence and connectivity, and it is precisely for this reason that companies like Google are also currently in the race. A fully autonomous vehicle

Following various tests, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Toyota P4, and Google’s self-driving car are already ready. Equipped with various sensors, they are capable of completing a journey without the risk of colliding with an obstacle or another vehicle. The only thing that remains is the definition of legislation regarding autonomous cars. And according to forecasts, they could begin to be integrated into traffic from 2022.

Highly Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

The driver assistance systems of the future will no longer rely solely on ASR, ESP, and ABS. Indeed, the cars of the future will be equipped with a more sophisticated system. In addition to park assist, proximity warning, and cruise control, the vehicle could be equipped with technology that could assist the driver in negotiating a turn or switch to autopilot mode when the driver is tired.

Electric Cars Will Have a Range of Over 500 kmThe range of an electric car is on average between 200 and 300 km. But in the coming years, it could easily exceed 500 km. In fact, prototypes like the Tesla Model X and the Lucid Air already offer this feat. Furthermore, charging time will also tend to decrease so that the car can become more efficient. A smarter voice assistantSiri and Google Assistant already do a good job. But in a futuristic car, the voice assistant would be much more responsive. And beyond simply executing commands, the vehicle’s onboard artificial intelligence could act independently to configure the climate control or adjust the driver’s and passengers’ seats. As for connectivity, in addition to 5G, MirrorLink, Bluetooth A2DP, and Wi-Fi, we can expect the advent of other, much more intuitive functions.

Flying Vehicles and Amphibious Cars

Just like autonomous cars, drone cars already exist. And in addition to passenger transport, this concept will also revolutionize freight transport. Furthermore, to ensure smoother traffic flow, there’s a good chance that within the next ten years, we’ll also see amphibious cars capable of crossing the English Channel in fifteen minutes.
