3 Automotive Technologies in 2020

3/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The year 2020 brings in many improvements and innovations to the automotive industry. Because of this, you can enjoy these benefits even if you are riding a commuter-friendly sedan. Here are some of the tech features that you can consider if you are buying a new car. 
Blind-Spot Warning
One of the new techs that you can benefit from is the blind-spot warning, which is a warning system to alert you to a vehicle on your blind spot. There are sensor monitors installed in the car’s rear flank, which will give you a warning light if it detected a vehicle in the adjoining lane. If ever the driver ignores the warning, the system will flash an alert and possibly, a sound alarm. 

Some system adds in a break intervention to prevent you from steering to the other lane if there’s a vehicle spotted in your blind spot. This is most helpful for those who are learning to drive. 

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Another feature that is often paired with the Blind-Spot Warning is the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, for they use the same rear radar sensors or cameras; however, they differ in function. With the rear cross-traffic alert, it warns the driver with a visual or audible alarm of approaching traffic in both directions when backing up. 

A few systems, like the blind spot warning, adds automatic braking to avoid backing into the way of oncoming cars if the driver ignores the alert. 

Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Assist
Some versions of this tech can slow the vehicle down below the adjusted speed that you have set when traffic flow ahead slows, and once cleared, will return to the set speed. This function will only work if it is 30 mph and above, so if it hits below that, the system will automatically switch itself off, indicating a warning to the driver. 

Some advanced adaptive cruise control incorporates the traffic assist feature, which is beneficial in heavy traffic. It enables the vehicle to move off again on its own if the stop lasts only a moment or two. 

Conclusion
Having these technologies can help you be able to drive more safely. These are tools that can guide you on the road. Aside from these techs, getting insurance is also beneficial not just for you but also for the passengers. It can provide you peace of mind and security while you are driving.
