The car industry is used to long spans of time between development cycles and as a result we get different types of technologies in the industry that stay with us much longer then we anticipate.
Such technologies are sometimes simple such as the cigarette lighter and the power socket that is connected to it and the old and traditional analog dashboard.
Other technologies become more and more integrated, such as the GPS, which people expect in their cars, even though it is not mandatory by law. However, GPS has been on people’s mind for a while now. How exactly can GPS technology impact the car industry?
GPS Navigation Most drivers use a GPS navigation device these days.
The device can point out where the driver needs to go, whether it is a petrol station or the nearest food store, and it even enables the driver to reach his destination as fast as possible.
This technology is already a given fact and as such it is integrated into any mobile device and the vehicle, however the technology is s commonplace the a question comes to mind, what is next? The Car of the Future the automobile industry is in a perpetual game of catch up.
The 2021 model will be equipped with more advanced technology then the one before. However, the question is, what will the 2030 model look like?
10 years from now we will be driving electric cars and we will have autonomous cars that will navigate for us. These cars will have software in them that will be able to solve complex mathematical problems.
It will be a completely different world and the car industry will have to adapt. The GPS technology of today will be completely outdated by then.
However, this will not be the only technology that the car industry will have to adapt to. Unlike GPS, which simply allows us to navigate from point A to point B, the technologies of the future are much more complex and will influence the car industry as a whole.
The car of the future will be run by software and will be able to navigate for us. It will also have software that will be able to recognize traffic signs and calculate the best possible route for us. The car of the future will also automatically recommend us the nearest petrol station and restaurants. The car of the future will be a completely different beast then the cars of today. a good example of this kind of technology is Orit Shifman’s OSR The GPS technology of today will become obsolete by 2030. However, this new type of technology will impact the car industry as a whole.
