What are the Top 6 Automotive Technologies of 2022?

Written by BIS Research | Mar 3, 2022 7:02:00 AM

Electronic tech elements are significant in today's sport utility vehicles (SUVs), automobiles, trucks, and minivans.

These elements are now an essential component of how you engage with your electric vehicle and how your vehicle interacts with the vehicles. They include anything from safety and security features to communication and networking options.

The following is a list of the best automotive technologies for 2022.

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automated emergency braking is an important aspect of safety technology. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) engages your car's brakes when it detects an impending collision, potentially avoiding or avoiding an accident.

AEB reacts faster than an individual and can start operating before you even use the brakesWhile AEB is included in many modern driver assistance systems, it is a critical function that should be prioritized.

Connected Mobile Apps/Digital Key

Almost every automobile manufacturer provides a mobile app that you may download for your vehicle. These apps allow you to lock and unlock the doors remotely, check the fuel level and tire pressure, and even start the car, which is very useful on a freezing winter morning.

The digital key, which solely connects the phone to the vehicle, has additional security protections. One may use it to lock and unlock the car by holding your smartphone near the door.

One can even drive your vehicle using only your phone. It includes security measures to guarantee that only you – and those you provide special authorization to – have access to and operate the vehicle.

Teen Driver Tech

This is a collection of tech features geared straight at parents who have young drivers in the house. GM's Teen Driver suite of features, which is available on some Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac automobiles, trucks, and SUVs, is the most well-known of them.

Teen Driver serves as a safety net for new drivers. If you don't use your seatbelts, the system will stop the audio, filter out explicit content (if your car has SiriusXM satellite radio), and establish a volume restriction for the sound system.

Wireless Smartphone Connectivity and Charging

Wireless smartphone communication and charging is an excellent technique to clear the space surrounding the gearbox shifter. As wireless charging makes use of a charging pad, that location in the car also acts as a convenient storage space for your phone.

360-Degree Camera

This is a popular feature and is becoming common in new automobiles of all price ranges. A 360-degree camera is extremely comfortable and easy to operate, and it aids in the prevention of vehicle damage.

By integrating cameras on either side of the car with smart technology, your car's display may give a virtual top-down view of your surroundings. It can show you the sides of parking or whether you're in the middle of the grocery store parking lines. It can also be quite useful while parallel parking.

Safety Exit Assistance

Riders must be just as cautious of parked autos as they are of moving ones. The departure warning is a feature that both passengers and drivers benefit from. Using rear-facing sensors, the alert detects incoming bikes and cars. This prevents a passenger from opening the car door just as a bike approach.

Exit warning systems continue to function for few to several minutes, post the engine has been turned off. When the sensors detect an approaching bike or vehicle, a series of bright lights flash to alert the passenger.

To prevent the door from being flung open into the path of the oncoming object, the most modern systems will physically lock it by activating the kid's safety lock.

To summarize, some of the automotive technologies are safety barriers that one will ideally never need, but it's great to know they're there just in case. Some of these technologies also allow you to keep in touch with friends and family or call emergency services fast. When looking for a car with these functions, look for one that makes tasks simpler while avoiding driver distraction.
