The world of auto engineering is evolving to meet the world of digitisation. As we move through Industry 4.0, what new gadgets have our cars acquired?
Cars are not what they used to be. Nowadays, your vehicle is not just something that gets you from Point A to point B. It is a vital tool which you rely upon five days a week. Without cars, the modern workforce would grind to a halt. This reliance harshly reflects in terms of environmental damage and carbon emissions. However, even that aspect of car ownership is at the current mercy of auto technicians.
Car gadgets are getting bigger and better with every passing month. Here are some of the exciting pieces of car tech that we are thrilled to welcome and desperate to try out.
The Best 4 Car Gadgets New in 2022
Ready to roll into the new year in style? Here are the best gadgets from the past few months that have had a profound impact on the way people drive.
1 – Remote Entry Systems
There are few things cooler in this life than walking up to a locked car, having it recognise you, and unlock its own doors. A car that is intuitive; that knows when you are there and allows entry. This is the pinnacle of modern technology, and it is only available in newer models of car. If you have a 2015 or before, you won’t have this tech. Have no fear because now you can buy a separate remote car starter set that you install yourself. It is the affordable way to get fob entry for your vehicle.
2 – Amazon Echo Auto
One of the worst things about driving is the music choice. You either must listen to whatever the kids want to play, or you must pull over to reprogram your phone/radio/music player combo. An Amazon Echo Auto lets you play all your Amazon Music favourites, hands-free. The Echo can read stories to you, play games with the younger kids, and makes long trips less frustrating.
3 – Upgrade your EV Charger
As industry makes advances in electric vehicles, so too do the charging points chance. Like how the introduction of the USB-C improved charging speeds for mobile phones across the country, you can upgrade your charge point, or connection, to increase the speed and power you can charge your car at. If you frequently find yourself running low on juice, this is the upgrade you need for your electric vehicle.
4 – Night vision glasses
You may or may not have come across this smart tech in gas stations. Antiglare glasses are new to the market but exploded in a big way in 2022. When you took your driving lessons, your instructor told you never to wear sunglasses at night. These glasses are yellow but do resemble sunglasses. They help you to drive in the dark, which is perfect for those with sight problems caused by low lighting. Wear these at sunset or in the evening and keep them in the storage compartment in your door so you can always reach them.
Car gadgets are evolving. 2023 is shaping up to be an inspirational year.
