Self-driving technology
Self-driving technology has developed to level 3, car manufacturers such as Volvo, BMW, Nissan… have launched this technology on their car models. In which BMW is considered the leading car model in self-driving technology. It is expected that by 2020, manufacturers will launch self-driving technology up to level 4. Self-driving cars are equipped with a system of sensors, cameras, processing centers, data storage… to complete the process of collecting, memorizing, and performing safe driving steps. The safety features equipped for self-driving cars have developed, making users feel more secure when the car performs driving operations.
Self-driving technology is perfected with each car model.
Some models that have achieved a high level of autonomy are capable of handling emergency situations without driver assistance such as emergency braking, automatic parking, emergency braking in dangerous situations, lane recognition, pedestrian warning, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, etc. However, at the current level, humans still play a major role in operating the vehicle, the self-driving system provides partial support to ensure safety as well as support emergency situations.
The self-driving car ecosystem is increasingly appreciated with the participation of transportation companies and car manufacturers. Self-driving car technology is increasingly perfected, bringing users efficiency, safety and modernity when it can replace humans to assist in situations such as the driver falling asleep, accidents occurring, etc.
Digital key technology
Digital key technology was born to replace traditional mechanical keys with many benefits. Unlocking a car with a phone is applied by some luxury car models under the name of digital key. When your car has this new technology, you only need a smartphone or mobile device with car unlocking software installed to be able to open and close the car remotely; start and stop the car at a close distance; turn on the anti-theft system, increase security when the mobile device is also an unlocking device always in the owner’s hand; observe the location, locate where your car is… Along with many features such as the driver can communicate with the car, share the car’s status with relatives such as fuel status, technical errors… so that the car owner can handle it promptly.
