8 Essential Technological Innovations For Cars

There are many technological improvements in the automotive world over the last decade. Wheels.ca breaks down the 8 most essential innovations you need in your car.

Rear Mounted Camera

With a rear-mounted camera, reverse parking will never be an issue again. You’ll never have to worry about dinging up your car (or a stranger’s) or scraping your bumper on any surface. No longer will a curb, ice or fence ruin your paint job.

Having a rear-mounted camera is almost like having a sixth sense; the visual aid provided by the camera (usually appearing on the dashboard or centre console).

Lane Watch Cameras

The next level of camera implementation technology are lane watch cameras which are a feature on the 2015 Honda CRV and other models, although other manufacturers implement them as well.

Night View Assist Plus

Driving during the evening and night always presents challenges. With reduced visibility and the all-encompassing blackness of the night, especially in rural areas, Night View Assist Plus by Mercedes-Benz can recognize potential hazards on the road within a range of up to 160 meters, ensuring a safe and collision free ride.

Electric Engine Cars

Electric engine cars are just that; automobiles that are propelled by electric motors that utilize batteries and/or other electric energy sources. Electric cars have come a long way in the recent years. The travel ranges of all makes and models are increasing, although the size of the electric car and batteries used determine how far it can go.

Tesla Motors

Tesla Motors is an American company that ONLY designs and manufactures electric cars. What makes Tesla Motors different than your other electric car manufacturers is that not only did they produce the world’s first fully electronic sports .

Laser Headlights

Sounds cool but it’s probably not what you’re thinking; you won’t be able to shoot actual lasers from your car’s headlights.

Hands-free Lift Gate

Have your hands been so full that opening the trunk door was a Mission: Impossible?

Fear not! (At least, not anymore) More and more vehicles, such as the 2015 Lincoln MKC and the 2014 Ford Escape Titanium come equipped with the hands-free lift gates

USB Car Charger

With all the electronic devices everyone has, one USB charger usually doesn’t suffice, especially if you have kids or carpool. A USB Car Charger  with multiple ports comes in very handy.
