Technology, for automobiles or for any other automated innovation, means an ever-changing, ever-evolving concept. There are not two years in a row where a single car technology trend makes the rounds in the auto industry. There is always something new coming up in the form of a car model. Whether it’s a car, motorcycle or any other vehicle, because enthusiasts always have something new to delight. Recently, a large number of developments in the field of automotive technology have kept the global automotive industry in an uproar. The following are some of the latest technological trends that will dominate the automotive industry for the foreseeable future.

– Thanks to the epidemic called the iPhone, car manufacturers are now rushing to replace the analog dials and controls on their car models with superior touchscreen dashboards. All other hybrid vehicles or electric cars introduced these days are equipped with this technological feature.

– Cars and vehicles are now smarter than ever. The universal network of vehicles that could range from simple instant traffic announcements and collision alerts to state-of-the-art digital chaining has finally come of age.
