Technology Advances

Those of you that you think your car just a way – a box that you received from one place to another – think again. Modern cars have computers in their own right. Electronic sensors are now used to measure the performance of a car and microprocessors are available to modify the components so that they properly perform under any conditions. New technologies were introduced as a car park without driver intervention, and night vision technology allows the driver to see better at night. But there is more to come. And the federal government and a major automaker – Ford Motor Company – have taken steps to ensure that these innovations will be accepted reality.

After more than 10 years of research, the creation of a task force Ford planners, engineers and scientists around the world, which has already gain experience in the development of sophisticated security devices as well as helping to infotainment and driver comfort for intelligent vehicles are in other to avoid collisions and therefore the cars on the road to communicate with each other. The company, in collaboration with other automakers and the federal government, works on a “common language” that the car to communicate on the basis of a common communication standard. This partnership will also operate clinics this summer to begin testing the technology. Ford will donate two prototypes of Ford Taurus sedan, the project will be managed by the Intelligent Transportation Systems conducted by the Department U. S. Transport and the avoidance of accidents Metrics Partnership, a joint research group of Ford and General Motors. The project will contribute to the standards and will be completed in 2013.

The result will lead the technology could allow the easing of traffic congestion, time and fuel. In addition, the technology in conjunction with the drivers of innovation infrastructure with traffic information will be reported in real time they help you to choose less congested routes are. Communication between cars on the Wi-Fi, based on 360 degree field of detection possible. So the car will be able to alert the driver when he or she is on her way to a collision when a vehicle ahead suddenly stops or slows down when changing traffic patterns when there is a risk of collision when changing track when the car approaches a stationary vehicle or parked, or if another driver loses control of his vehicle.

This is the first in a series of articles, which are almost incredible progress that has occurred in the last 10 years in the automotive industry highlights. It is on what were the driving forces behind this pillar.

In the 1990s, the feeling that he could not be more advanced technology in the car, had to develop its high point was reached. But more and more pressure from governments, forcing the impending shortage of fuels and other clean air laws, engineers to develop more efficient cars and engines.

Advances in engine efficiency in recent years have been pretty amazing. Manufacturers such as VW / Audi, BMW and Mercedes regularly quote from fuel savings of 20%, 25% and even 30% of new engines and cars, replacing the previous one. It almost sounds like the speech typical of snake oil salesman. I specifically mention these manufacturers, as they have been at the forefront of this development.

How did this happen?
Electronic calculations: To put it succinctly. Without electronics, could not it all possible. Modern cars have computers in them, that every minute in the operation of a motor controller. There are too mechanical progress, working together with electronics.
