The automotive industry is constantly changing as manufacturers compete with eachother to bring out the latest in in-car tech – but it’s not just the outside appearance of our vehicles that has transformed over the years. New and innovative in-car technology is being developed all the time, from blind spot sensors, to tech that can predict the weather. Here, Grange vehicles, suppliers of the Mclaren 570 Gt, tell us what we can expect for the future of vehicle technology.

Technology for safety

Self-driving cars can be expected to hit the auto market in the next couple of years. Most manufacturers now offer self-driving technology as part of their latest models – with most used to improve road safety.

Lane keeping systems

Some cars already have lane-keeping systems as standard. These systems keep you within your lane when driving on the motorway. When motorway driving, it’s vital that you stay firmly in your lane, unless you are overtaking. This system alerts you with a vibration on the steering wheel if your vehicle is unintentionally edging out of its lane – and in circumstances when the vehicle thinks you are reacting too slow, the vehicle will take control and provide steering torque to divert you back into the safe space on your lane. This is a safety feature to prevent drivers from veering out of their lane on motorways and dual carriageways where drivers around them are driving at high speeds.

Blind spot information

The BLIS (or Blind spot information system) alerts drivers to other vehicles lurking in the blind spot – useful for changing lanes. When a vehicle enters your blind spot zone, the BLIS system will alert you. The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond the bumper. The system alerts you via a small light on your side wing mirrors – when there is a vehicle in your blind spot zone, the light will illuminate. When your blind spot zone is clear, the light will switch off.

Speed assistance

Intelligent speed assistance technology makes use of audio and visual warnings to drivers when they accidentally pass the speed limit. By using GPS, the system is able to detect the vehicle location and reference this with a digital road map that is programmed with speed limit information for each road. The system can be used as an active speed limiter whereby it can take control of the vehicle and reduce the speed when travelling above the speed limit. It does this by reducing the throttle signal. Additionally, the system is also fitted with a speed limiting function that increases the pressure on the accelerator when you exceed the speed limit, so that it is harder to accelerate and break the speed limit.

Technology for efficiency

Predicting weather patterns

In a recent announcement, Jaguar Land Rover’s newest vehicles are all set to be equipped with weather adaption technology. The system allows cars to autonomously adapt to weather changes and situations to make adjustments to drivetrain, suspension, traction control and climate control for optimum efficient driving.

How will this improve their cars? Well, the intelligent system will be particularly useful to Land Rover and Range Rover models, such as the new Land Rover Discovery Sport Hse, that drives on all terrains. The system is said to be able to connect to present and future weather data via telematics and GPS to sensibly adapt both inside the cabin and around the exterior. One feature suggests that the system will automatically close your vehicle windows if it senses that rain is forecast. Onboard rain- and terrain-sensing mechanisms will be used to control the temperature, pressure and humidity inside the cabin, whilst interior and exterior lighting will be altered depending on the circumstances.

Expect to see this technology behind the wheel in 2020. This is alongside JLR’s autonomous technology and electrified models too!

Efficient eco-pedal

The new Leaf model from Nissan is set to debut a one-pedal system. The electric automobile not only has double the mileage range of its previous model equivalents, but the one-pedal driving system allows for the accelerator pedal to be transformed into a multifunctioning e-pedal at a touch. The e-pedal functions as a start, stop, accelerate and breaking pedal when activated. Suitable for 90% of urban driving, the system means that the car will slow to a halt by itself with the ability to hold itself on an incline without the need of the brake pedal.

This new model is all about efficiency. Nicknamed the ECO-pedal system, the pedal controls the speed of acceleration to prevent revving up the engine. The level of fuel-efficient driving is displayed through a colour and flashing Eco-P lamp. According to Nissan, studies have proven that effective eco-driving with the ECO-pedal can contribute to an improved fuel efficiency by 5-10%.

Quick charge EV batteries

Manufacturers have been working on developing faster charging EV batteries for several years now and the new quick charging batteries are said to achieve full power in just 30 minutes.  Researchers claim they could have developed an ‘instantly rechargeable’ method that recharges an electric battery in the same time as it would take to fill a gas tank – a solution to the biggest headache of electric vehicles. This would revolutionise the EV industry, as battery life and its charge has been the biggest challenge for the industry. Electricity suppliers such as Northern Powergrid have also been providing essential services such as EV charger installation to help make things easier for EV owners.

The future of in-car tech is getting more and more exciting as time goes on. With a positive future of technology ahead of us, we can expect to see the driving process, and experience, completely transformed in the coming years.

Does your car suffer from small or even large dents that were caused perhaps by hail damage or the errant ding from a fender bender? These and other types of dents can be repaired using paintless dent removal arlington tx. Compared to conventional body repair, paintless dent removal requires no repainting or body work because the original paint is left untouched. As a result of this innovative process, your car repair can cost less and take less time to complete. And unlike conventional body repair, your car won’t decrease in value because the original parts are kept intact.

Can the Damage to Your Car Be Fixed?

According to MSN, paintless dent removal is generally effective on newer vehicles starting in the 1990 model year, when high-tensile metal and resilient paint finishes began to be generally in use. For the process to be effective, the paint must not be cracked or chipped, the dent must not be near the edge of a panel, and the panel must not have had previous body repair. Nevertheless, even if the dent cannot be completely removed, the process can make the damage almost unapparent.

How Does Paintless Dent Removal Work?

Paintless dent removal works from inside the body of the car with specialized tools that are used to manipulate the metal back into place from underneath the dents. The paint is thus left undisturbed. Because the technique involves fewer steps and eliminates the need for paint and body filler, the cost of repair is generally much more affordable. Most repairs require from one to two hours.

Paintless dent removal techniques have evolved to become a viable alternative to conventional body repair. Where once only small dents could be treated, now much larger dents can be removed and your car returned to its original factory finish.
