The rapid technological advances in the automotive industry.
Experts tell how manufacturers accommodate and advance to the tastes and needs of the market. And they predict that once more vehicles will be handled alone.

When we talk about automotive accessories one thing is clear, the only limit is the imagination and the rest, matter of taste. In this regard, the industry knows very well where users are focused and do everything possible to give them the taste.
Years ago, at the dawn of the automotive category, a vehicle has no equipment or "Radio" looked like a banal thing, however, today it is almost impossible to conceive the idea of ??a car trip go without listening to our favorite music.
In short, travel by car left enough time to be the common "riding car" and went on to become "live a full travel experience" does, says José Gutiérrez, professor of racing car mechanics and Autotronics of Duoc UC headquarters Conception.
"Looking back and a little analysis, we note that the accessories in automobiles can be divided into two groups.
First those providing security to the car (from the sheets armored for glass to modern correctors march that warn the driver when he strays from the path), and on the other accessories that are considered as comfortableness, which are intended to give the driver a better travel experience and provide certain everyday tasks. "
Novelties name a few of the major technological innovations that we have modern phones, we can mention the keyless ignition. Gutierrez explained that this is an accessory that allows you to open and access the vehicle and keyless start doing well, just by using a microchip that can be installed even in the watch owner.
Moreover, he adds, the technologies associated with the multimedia, mainly touchscreens that group almost the same features of a Smartphone and others exist as well. Here we find VCRs and audio, internet access, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free, Geo satellite positioning (GPS), climate control, sensors / parking cameras and also some data about values ??live vehicle computer handles like consumption fuel, average speed and km estimated for refueling.
"The latter is important to note that although not all vehicles possess installed as standard, do correspond to a class of technology that can be added to common vehicles, and this is where you have to have a more careful as to how installed and who does "But the teacher said that while still properly installed accessories are considered harmless engine performance, keep in mind that each appliance we connect the vehicle consumes energy.
Thus, negative influence on fuel consumption.
Where are we going?
The industry is picking up the requirements and needs of customers, authorities and developers.
There are brands that are cutting edge in technological ceiling and others are incorporating these technologies as they become cross and therefore more commercial. Additionally, there are developers who are creating options for vehicles that were not originally equipped, improving its performance. Asked about where the industry is going, Post Sales manager Sergio Escobar, Cristian Macaya, explained that this follows the global trend of hyper.
"In the near future vehicles will be connected to the Internet, they may interact with your other electronic equipment and even the households (through automation also be connected). Today this technology already exists, and already companies are joining in alliances that bind automakers with developers of these technologies.
As has happened in all such changes, initially will have varied options, until one of them (preferred by customers) is considered the standard ". Macaya recalled that, in general, the vehicle is the second well of greater monetary value of people, after their own home.
Given the importance and time the vehicle is used it is that this technological development seeks to facilitate and simplify its use. GPS systems (soon to be joined to traffic information, such as Waze) seeking the best path to a route, integrated telephony, video systems, systems that warn if we have a vehicle blind spot cameras and sensors that tell you how you are near the vehicle ahead or behind parked vehicles alone are systems that already exist and expected future drive the vehicle itself. "
The latest security
The manager Autobahn, Ricardo Leiva, explained that the latest security is called immobilizer Clifford, a system that allows the car to stop once it has been stolen, since once the door opens you need to enter a code.
Well, the thief can take the car, but to stop at a red light or slow down, the car lights off and no more. Installation is around $ 170 thousand.

To consider
The main problems that could occur in case of faulty installation are:
A) total or partial inoperability of the accessory (not work fully or some of its functions).
B) Damage to the accessory components installed completely unrelated (electronic injection computer, for example), the product of the connection and / or wiring intervention in places where not applicable.
C) Total or partial product vehicle fire caused by bad electrical connections damage.
FUEL spending
increases with every appliance we connect to the vehicle, since it consumes energy, according to experts.
Web TREND
in vehicles is the hyper, ie, in the near future vehicles will be connected to the Internet, and may interact with other electronic equipment and even homes.
"Vehicles that park themselves, are systems that already exist and expected future drive the vehicle itself."

"In short, travel by car left enough time to be the common makes" car ride "and went on to become` live a full experience viaje' ".
