Cars that Communicate
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication
gives vehicles the ability to share data
with each other.
For example, a vehicle can gather data on
weather conditions or accidents and report
its findings to another vehicle.
Next year Cadillac CTS sport sedans will
come equipped with this feature.
V2V also gives vehicles the ability to
“platoon.” Platooning is when multiple
vehicles ride in close proximity to one
another without any accidents.
The End Of Diesel Fuel
Since the Volkswagen scandal diesel sales
have dropped worldwide.
However, some car manufacturers plan to
test whether consumers are still
interested in diesel vehicles.
Next year Chevrolet and Mazda will offer
diesel versions of the Cruze and CX-9,
respectively.
The vehicles will be some of the most
fuel-efficient vehicles on the market that
aren’t hybrids.
Whether consumers are still interested in
diesel vehicles, though, is yet to be
determined.
Self-Driving Vehicles
Self-driving vehicles have been in the
news for the past couple of years, but in
2017 the technology will become even more
widespread.
Google has teamed up with Fiat Chrysler,
and the car manufacturer plans to produce
Pacifica minivans for Google’s self-
driving car project.
While Google doesn’t have any plans to
sell their minivans to the public, the
company plans to use the fleet of vehicles
to further test self-driving.
More Electric Vehicles
The Chevrolet Bolt will be one of the most
affordable electric cars that consumers
have seen.
One charge will give the vehicle the
ability to travel over 230 miles. The Kia
Soul, Volkswagen e-Golf, and Tesla 3 are
also increasing the range that they can
drive.
As a result of these developments, it’s
likely that electric vehicles will become
more mainstream.
