Advances in Technology Applied to Modern Automobiles

Today’s society judges people on the type of car you drive. Society does not like to admit to this but it is very true. Manufactures know this happens and targets their markets by these thoughts. Anyone who drives a nice vehicle is thought to be wealthy. No one wants to be seen driving an unattractive piece of junk because of what other people will think of him or her. Consumers also just feel better when they are driving a nice or new car, if makes them feel better about themselves.

The fourth part of this report will investigate the claim that “smaller cars provide better values than larger cars,” given the provided data. The claim does not make clear what measurement for determining “values” is to be used, but we will proceed with the assumption that Consumer Report’s Value Score is an accurate representation of real-world value. Because we determined that the Size category and the two related ‘dummy’ variables did not have a significant relationship with the Value Score (which caused their subsequent deletion from the equation), and also because Size is largely represented by Cost/Mile—the choice was made to analyze the coefficient for Cost/Mile to help come to a conclusion. We are going to use the following estimated regression equation (which we constructed in Part III) for our analysis:

The automobile began as a rich man’s toy, and in today’s society almost every single person owns one of these miraculous inventions. After the automobile became more popular, society has evolved around it, creating highways and fast food chains. The automobile has revised from a bare invention, such as the horseless carriage, to now technologically advanced motor vehicles with bluetooth and wireless internet. Since the beginning age of the automobile in 1885, the invention has advanced, prospered, and changed society throughout the world.

The industry players are focusing on technical innovations like improvements in fuel efficiency, incorporating safety features like air bags in small segment cars, parking assistance features, automatic transmission in small segment cars, commercial vehicles ensuring the safety of drivers, two-wheelers with enhanced fuel efficiency, high engine performance, introducing features catering to the female customers etc. The average growth in terms of number of units of

In recent years, car manufacturers have produced some very large, high gas consuming behemoths. However, even if the car isn't a major gas consumer, people still expect the car to be advanced and will be disappointed if their expectations are not met. For additional information on the topic, I asked my father for his experiences with cars around the 1980s era when he was a teenager. What I learned was that the car he drove was, “clunky and at times inconvenient to get around in, but you could get the job done without any need for a computer directing you”. The features, such as computers and backup cameras, make cars safer to be in, but most people treat those additions like toys and aren't satisfied with the improvements made. This is why manufacturers are constantly having to churn out advancements and come out with new, revolutionary ideas to please their buyers.

Cars are something that almost every person has or will use in their everyday life or need to use their car to get to and from work or school everyday. Well in this paper you will learn about what technology has done to change the Automotive Industry as well as your everyday life. This paper will be focusing on the Technologies inside of the car, along with the Technologies that keep you safe and also a little bit about Self-Driving Cars. So fasten your seatbelts while you are reading this paper.

In the early twentieth century, science and technology brought the automobile. In less than one hundred years, humans especially Americans have grown

For the better part of nearly 2 decades leading up to 2007 the automotive market was dominated by light trucks and suv’s. US auto makers were able to make very high profit margins off of these vehicles due to their price point while they could hardly break even on compact cars so the industry put very high focus on making them, causing them to become cheaper and sales to skyrocket. The general public ate it right up with low asking prices, loads of room, and perceived safety. Sales were at an all time high for entering the new millennium, surpassing minivan sales by 1994. It seemed like nothing could stop SUV’s from selling like hot cakes, that was until 2008.

The new titanium body offers a safer option than its predecessor but, if the driver wanted other safety options they would have to pay extra. Interior offers a more technological feel while the exterior allows for sharper turns but, the car is not well suited for more than two people. The car is expensive and ultimately the driver is paying for a more aesthetically pleasing vehicle with only a few extra buttons and whistles. The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is the car of the future you would just have to decide if the price and smaller storage is what you

The aerodynamics of cars have been updated to a more futuristic look. Development of cars are now in more of a demand for a sleeker look. Do you remember the Model T car, the first affordable car due to its fabrication? Well compare a 2017 chevrolet to a 1958 chevrolet. Compare the money, time, and how much more materials were used. The model t became the fastest car produced, “By 1914, the assembly process for the Model T had been so streamlined it took only 93 minutes to assemble a car” (Wikipedia). Now cars are being produced rapidly than before, “Most plants today turn out more than 50 cars an hour. And the fastest assembly lines can turn out more than 100 vehicles in an hour” (Hill). Cars were extremely bulky in 1958 in contrast to the 2017 designs. I hypothesize that the cars of the future will start to become more aerodynamic in structure. In 2045 cars will have a more narrow nose for speed that shifts into a more ‘lego meets transformer’ body style, later on becoming some real-life form of the magic school bus. Sooner or later everyone will have a “sports” car and the value of actual sports cars will start to deplete, but that is where the design will start to shift once again. Eventually leaving us with hover cars of some sort that makes pizza if you press two and a submarine in oceanic-like waters. I guarantee in the future that cars will be built with a touch of a finger

One driving force of change is technology. The automobile industry is constantly focusing on technology in order to make themselves and their cars better. They constantly compete to be the “first” one to have the newest and best idea. One of these ideas is an electric vehicle. GM, Ford, and Toyota all have electric automobiles. GM has the Chevy Volt. Volt One of Ford’s electric cars is the Electric Ranger. Ranger Toyota had the Rav4 EV, but due to discouraging sales it stopped production. “Toyota remains committed to developing an "Eco Vehicle," one that will have a minimal impact on the environment.” Rav4 One purpose of the electric automobiles is to have the ability to drive to work using only electricity. Currently during longer trips you would have to use a combination of electric and gasoline power. Electric Car

While both sides seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum on this matter, they actually share a common interest. The similar interest in this debate is excessive fuel consumption. Those who proclaim the modern automobile should be a strictly economic and lightweight machine care about not consuming excessive amounts of fuel by doing away with unneeded and heavy extras. They also don’t want a higher impact on the environment from increased fuel consumption. Likewise, those who proclaim the modern automobile should not be a strictly economic and lightweight machine care about preserving the fuel economy as set by their previous cars. They feel that as long as their current fuel consumption does not decline, they will welcome the addition of new technology. In the end, although both sides care about and measure excessive fuel consumption differently, they care about it equally.

As the United States unite in the global effort to monitor the use and waste of energy, fuel efficient or hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius has dominated the market over the SUV’s who once adored every American driveway. With much doubt, in 2004, the Prius has become the leading selling vehicle in America. The sleek design has caught the eye and pockets of many Americans who prefer the “gas sipper” over the “gas guzzler.” (Kotler & Armstrong, Principles of Marketing, 2010)

The world today is developing rapidly is every aspect of human life whether be it the technology, money or population. This change in the surroundings has made humankind to worry about the future. The advancement in technology nowadays is more focused towards the optimum utilisation of the exhaustible natural resources. The increase in population has resulted in the increase of the sale of automobiles as well.
