Automakers are continuously adding new features to cars to make them safer, more reliable, more environmentally friendly, and more technologically advanced.
Soon, your Audi car will be able to find the parking space and park it by itself. Mercedes-Benz has also mastered the technique of adjusting the suspension while analyzing the road conditions. But this is just the beginning.
In interviews with several large car manufacturers, we discussed the concept of the future car. Although there are no cars flying in the sky, the prediction of these development trends shows amazing technological progress.
Let's take a look at what these car manufacturers' future car-making plans are:
GM: Cars will be able to predict our preferences
According to General Motors, another "engine" will play a role in future cars. "Intent engine" is a super powerful artificial intelligence technology, which can analyze the past driving operations, understand the current vehicle conditions, and scan the available data to predict the driver's behavior.
"Cars can speculate on your intentions and provide you with options to complete the operation on your behalf." Nick Pudar, GM's vice president of planning and business expansion, explained. He specifically cites some examples of how this cloud technology works. For example, if the car is driving on a rural road, the car will be able to know the location of the gas station and be able to monitor your driving route at any time. During driving, the car predicts when it should be refueled. For example, before you leave a big city, because the oil price is lower there. "The car will give data tips, some of which you haven't even considered before."
Another example is electric cars. Products on the market such as Chevy Volt can already be connected to the Internet, and can be controlled using mobile applications. When electricity is cheaper, you can decide whether to charge it.
In the future, as more households are connected to the smart grid, the "intention engine" will be able to check your electricity usage and charge it at the most appropriate price. Not only that: when the mileage changes, the car can also notify the grid.
One of the most interesting new features is that future cars will remind you of what to do. "I can install an app on my phone to be able to talk and tell it to remind me at some point in the future when there is something selling nearby," Nick said. In this way, a reminder message will appear when the conditions are met.
Or a button on the dashboard that can remind you of a snack bar nearby. The next time you drive to this area, dining recommendations based on the previous behavior will be displayed.
Chrysler: Computer modeling makes the car body lighter
A major challenge in car design is how to make the car body lighter without sacrificing durability-not to mention protecting the driver in a car accident. Interestingly, similar to the unibody integrated design of Apple's MacBook, the future car will also use integrated technology design. In fact, the entire production process is integrated.
Chrysler product executive Mike Cairns (Mike Cairns) said that computer modeling and "lightweight materials (lightweighTIng)" will be the key to future innovation.
"Light materials will be more fuel efficient and the car performance will be better," he said. "If we reduce the weight of the chassis, we can reduce the burden on the engine. Once light materials are adopted, the weight of the entire vehicle will have a chance to become lighter.
The integrated design uses a single mold and uses a new type of reinforced plastic, but it has not yet been invented. The current exhaust components of automobiles are designed separately. In the future, exhaust, engine, electronic equipment and even instrument panel will be designed and produced as a component.
"The industry is starting to turn to aluminum. The new material has better plasticity and stiffness," he said. "The new alloy will greatly increase the strength and reduce the weight. We have a Jeep concept car made of mesh steel. This kind of The weight of the material is only half of the previous one, but the structural rigidity remains the same. "
"There will be more new electronic components, 50% of which are communication cables, which use a bus to access the electronic modules. At present, we use copper, but most of them can be replaced with optical fibers-we did not go The only reason for this is the cost factor. "
Kannes said that future trucks can reduce the weight of 680 kg in the use of electronic connection cables. An innovative solution is to use wireless transmission to transmit signals between different components of the car. Computer modules will not only involve components and designs of future automobiles.
Chrysler is already using computer modules to assist in truck assembly. For example, detect which component will be used and where. In the future, computer modules will play a greater role: detecting the weight of components, who is installing, how far they need to move, how to assemble them, and so on.
