1.
Digital Gauges
In some models, digital gauges are replacing physical, static
gauges to create a dynamic screen for providing more customizable and relevant
information. Not only information but it will also provide a better view of
vehicle performance and behaviour and can also corporate navigation directions.
One of the leading designs in the industry is Audi's Virtual Cockpit system.
2.
High Resolution, Multi-Angle Surround View
Cameras
Nowadays,
surround-view cameras are making a shift from luxury vehicles into mainstream
sedans and family SUVs. To minimize blind spots and assist with parking these
cameras are a great help and can improve visibility outside of the vehicle and
to keep an eye on back-seat passengers. Clean, crisp, high-res imagery replaced
the traditionally low-res feeds.
3.
Semi-Autonomous Driving
Though
we are years away from vehicles that can drive on their own, semi-autonomous feature
compensates for human error. Cadillac's Super Cruise system is the most
noteworthy development in this area. It can pilot the vehicle at speeds of 0 to
85 miles per hour enabling the driver to take their hands off the wheel. In the
very near future, more automakers are expected to introduce their own versions
like in the case of Tesla.
4.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
This
feature allows you to connect your smartphone to the car’s infotainment screen
in a better way which in turn enables you to take advantage of your contacts,
music and apps. The ability to use smartphone navigation apps is the king among
the benefits. BMW is one among the automakers who are offering the connection
wirelessly.
5.
Road Scanning
Luxury
cars provide a more advanced feature called Road Scanning. This feature
basically uses the camera to search the road ahead for defects and adjusts
automatically the vehicle's suspension to account for them. Though it's not
widely available yet, it provides a quieter, slicker ride and is recommended
for high-end vehicles. Mercedes-Benz’s Magic Body is one among the leaders in
this area.
