subject: Remote Controlled Real Cars [print this page] From engine management to satellite navigation, cars are becoming more like computers. In fact, the trend for more advanced computer technology in Cars has been going on for some time.
In the future, Cars will use WiFi connectivity, software applications and mobile phones to turn into a vehicle for entertainment & information. You can then connect your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to a cars sound system, or passengers could use a laptop to watch television on the move after connecting to a cars WiFi.
Surfing the web from the passenger seat will become possible in the near future. In fact, Some Cars already include on-screen internet access, which means that connected services, from video games to local searches for restaurants, are easier.
The mobile phones that run the latest version of Googles Android can be turned into WiFi hotspots, so you can surf the web if they log on to one. Another recent technology enables features by simply buying an app - accessories might be installed as standard when the car is built, but only activated by purchasing an application.
Car owners will be able to unlock their car via their mobile phone. Directions can be sent straight from a computer or mobile to the car's navigation software. The tyre pressure information could be known through Bluetooth. In the event of an accident, your location can also be transmitted to emergency services.
Satellite Navigation can also offer details of nearby petrol stations. There will be intelligent routing technology that will help you with the best way to reach your destination, depending on the traffic and the time of day. And when it comes to built-in systems, the Car can turn its left-hand instrument dial into a Satellite Navigation screen as you approach junctions.
In short, there will be a convergence of technologies in a car. The future of in-car technology is connected.
