1. CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES IN AUTOMOBILE MARKET

Introduction:

Nowadays, technologies are improving day by day. So, current technologies AI, machine learning, human-machine interface, Electric vehicle and IoT are some of the technological trends in the automobile sector.

These technological advancements enable automobile companies to produce self-driving cars and offer multiple solutions. Some of these solutions include shared vehicles which help reduce the number of automobiles on the roads.

Technological Trends in the Automotive Industry:

Artificial intelligence:

Artificial intelligence (AI) application in automobiles enables drivers to improve safety. Some modern cars like the 2022 Toyota Tundra can apply such technology and automatically light up in the dark. The headlights sense oncoming cars and dim. This is because artificial intelligence makes the automatic activity of beam control possible. It helps to improve a driver’s vision on the road, which increases road safety.

3D Printing in Car Manufacturing:

3D printing enables manufacturing companies to perform rapid prototyping. This accelerates the production of vehicles in the design phase and testing. Car manufacturers print designs they need with 3D printing technology. It is a technology that helps save time in the manufacturing of automobiles.

Autonomous Vehicles:

Self-driving cars aim to transform transportation in various ways. For example, it reduces the number of human drivers and at the same time, makes transportation safer. Autonomous vehicles also use advanced technologies like computer vision and pedestrian behaviour-prediction. Such technologies help in avoiding obstacles on the road. It also predicts the movement of a pedestrian, like a leg movement or eye contact.

Shared Mobility:

Shared mobility reduces the number of cars on the roads and reduces pollution. Car-as-a-service (CaaS) ensures fewer petrol and diesel cars on the road to keep the air clean. A vehicle like Toyota Tundra double cabin provides an elevated experience to the driver and passengers using it for CaaS. This makes shared mobility a comfortable transport solution. Software applications can also help manage shared mobility like shuttle services, rental cars, or scooters.

Human-Machine Interface (HMI):

Human machine-interface technology improves how drivers interact with their cars. HMI is a voice-based technology that drivers use to get feedback from a vehicle. This helps to control some features of your car. They also help drivers increase efficiency in keeping lanes and preventing collisions. This is possible with the use of technology like augmented reality and smart cameras. Such cameras help in making turns and driving safely in curves.

Internet of Things:

Vehicles need to communicate in a secure way online. And the advancement in technology allows data collection and communication between vehicles. The data enables a vehicle to know what is happening in its surrounding area. IoT also uses algorithms and makes it possible to monitor a vehicle and perform predictive maintenance. The alerts about driving and predictive maintenance will be sent to the driver. This helps reduce downtime and improve the driving experience.

Electric Vehicles:

Companies that make electric vehicles aim to produce cars that are easy to maintain. This means producing trucks with fewer parts. Companies continue to work towards finding these solutions. For example, some companies might consider using parking spaces as charging stations. Technology makes it possible for the charging station to know how much power each vehicle needs.

Conclusion:

These are the current and future technologies in automobile industry. Now, some of the technologies are in developing stage for future.

2. SOLAR PANEL ROOF CAR

Introduction:

Nowadays, problem is charging the electric vehicle is big problem. Because any one or two charge station only available and also charging timing also long. So, maybe we use the solar panel for charging the battery even in running timing also.

Solar panel:

A sunroof panel is provided with a solar charging system for a motor vehicle which includes a solar panel sunroof installed in an opening in a roof of the motor vehicle to convert solar energy from the sun into electrical energy and send the electrical energy to a battery in the motor vehicle.

As long as your rooftop solar system is sized appropriately to account for EV charging and other critical loads, you'll have no issue generating the power needed to live comfortably.

Conclusion:

So, the solution is we can use the integrated solar panel for charging the battery. It is free energy, Environmental free.

3. TRANSPORTATION DESIGN PROJECT – 3

Introduce:
