Why the future of the automotive industry is connected cars

As part of the emphasis on user interactivity, we are seeing manufacturers implementing features like Gesture control, a technology that enables users to take control of their radios through the use of hand gestures. On the current market, the BMW 7 Series has the capability to park itself without the owner’s intervention. Likewise, in 2015 Google started testing self-drive cars with remote sensing technology, where a laser was mounted on the roof to generate a 3D map of the surrounding area to navigate automatically. A greater number of gear ratios, low-weight design, and advanced dual-clutch operation, all work to deliver smooth, seamless gear changes. Meaning the Fiesta EcoBoost Hybrid delivers a more efficient and less demanding drive, particularly in stop-start city traffic.
