Auto Digest: Present and Future Technologies

Hi GT! My name is Sergey, and I was born in Izhevsk. And although it is a relatively small city (far from a million people), the situation with technology is not bad here. The population is interested and enjoys. Therefore, I decided to start talking about what is closer to myself - about cars and related technologies. Today I gathered for you a digest dedicated to the development of technologies in the field of auto production and insurance.

Creating cars that are controlled by a computer is the goal of several companies at once. The Renault Nissan Alliance plans to begin testing UAVs in 2016, Apple will release production models in 2019, and Tesla is already testing its autopilot system on public roads. In theory, the massive use of unmanned vehicles will increase the speed of movement, reduce accidents, make the movement more efficient and simplify the lives of all participants in the autosphere: from drivers to insurers. Is it so? The following selection of materials answers this question.

Automobile companies annually invest huge sums in improving security systems and developing new technologies for cars. Cruise control, lane retention systems and automatic parking have already reached the middle class cars and are available to the general consumer. Moreover, emergency braking systems successfully stop loaded Volvo trucks. But these are only the first steps to achieving absolute road safety. The following collection of articles talks about technologies designed to reduce the number of traffic accidents to zero.

The term telematics means the unification of telecommunication technologies and informatics. This is a small device with a set of sensors that collects information about the movement of the car, informing its insurance company. We are talking about the average speed, mileage, the number of sharp accelerations and braking. In the future, such technologies will be able to determine the condition of the car and even independently report damage. But this is in the future - the following selection of materials highlights the current position of telematics in the insurance market.
