4 Experimental Tech Trends Generating Hype In 2023
Everyone knows it: RVS loves technology.
After all, we’ve spent the whole first quarter spreading the word about our most cutting-edge wireless backup system and AI dash cam offerings to date!
Safety and practicality are at the forefront of our in-house innovation, but we like to stay up to date on the more novel, up-and-coming technologies.
On that note, here are four growing vehicle technology trends making waves in 2023:
Smart Tires That Detect & Provide Data
Goodyear and Gatik are getting together to make tire-sensing data a thing for autonomous vehicles.
While human drivers traditionally gauge road and tire conditions as they drive, their robot counterparts lack the tactile abilities to do so.
With smart tires collecting data and algorithms to determine conditions, now autonomous driving software can (almost) have the same feeling behind the wheel as we do.
Digital Inspections
The pandemic ushered in the era of widespread teleconferencing and remote work.
Yes, these trends may have topped out a while ago, but their impacts are now being applied to vehicle inspections.
Connected vehicle software, AI assistance, and technologies like Zoom enable remote inspections that turn what was formerly an in-person experience into a smooth, efficient remote interaction.
HD Mapping
You’re familiar with HD resolutions on your phones, TVs, cameras, and monitors, but you should also get comfy with HD being associated with mapping.
HD mapping refers to a layer on top of traditional mapping that allows for more intricate details like road landmarks, signs, and markings.
Google is currently working on a version of HD mapping for vehicles, but details on how it will present it to drivers are still unknown.
Next-Gen Heads-Up Displays
If you think having mph on your windshield was novel, then the next generation of HUDs will knock your socks off.
Expect HUDs that not only give your vehicle’s mph but the speed limit of your locale as well.
Other features like AR overlays help with navigation and staying in your lane, while blind spot safety information gives data on what’s around you.
