La Grange Area Toyota and Scion Reveals the Future of Your Car’s Tech

Mar 24, 2015

It’s pretty amazing to think that only ten years ago, more than half of the features in your 2014 or 2015 model were unthinkable. Ten years ago, the idea of automated systems or travelling Wi-Fi hot spots was unthinkable. Your La Grange Area Toyota and Scion dealer tells you what to expect in the next five years.

Autonomous Features

The idea of a driverless car is not new, but as sensor technology becomes more sophisticated, the more likely it is that various systems in your car will completely override you. Right now, a car can apply brakes before you even touch the pedal, but in the future, it’s likely that your car will take matters into its own hands in an emergency regardless of what you do.

Head-Up Displays

Organic Light Emitting Diodes are the next generation of LEDs. Right now, speed and some other information can be projected onto a windshield, but OLEDs will allow it to be interactive and high definition. Navigation will appear on your windshield and augmented reality as well.

Vehicle Tracking

As more and more vehicles are connected to the Internet, tracking vehicles becomes that much easier. As the technology becomes more common, it’s likely that insurance companies and possibly government administrations will monitor the number of miles driven.

Active Health Monitoring

Among the technologies that will coincide with the consumer market, Bluetooth will allow for vehicles to monitor the general health condition of the driver and passengers. This will mean things like pulse rate can be monitored for safety.
