The cars we are driving today have evolved into all new vehicles when compared even to what was available just 20 years ago. Thanks to advancements in technologies and mobile networks the cars we drive are more connected and efficient than ever before. 

What was once a method to get us to and from locations has become something we’re spending more time in, depending on and even using beyond just a daily commute. 

Here’s a look at 3 emerging technologies we can look forward to seeing in the near future in most of our vehicles. 

Solar

We’ve been hearing about the advantages of solar power in our homes for years now. But our cars will soon also benefit from this additional electricity source. As more features and electronics are added to our rides to make them even more comfortable, they are also draining power so having sunlight as a back-up can ensure you’ll keep moving without a hitch. 

E-Wallets

We’ve already gotten so used to using our mobile devices to conveniently pay for items in the store and as we move through drive-thru checkout lanes, now things will get even easier when we’re in the car as incorporated e-wallets make their debut. Visa and Sirius XM are two of the first companies making solutions for in-car payments possible.

Robotic Parking

Anyone who has trouble with parking has surely enjoyed some of the newer features in cars today like backup cameras and sensors to tell you how close you are to another car or object but this is just the beginning. Soon we’ll see cars that can park themselves – without a driver at the wheel. This is perfect for scenarios when you cannot get back into your car because someone was parked too closely to your vehicle.
