As designing self-driving cars has become the goal that most automakers have set themselves, it’s important to consider all the potential benefits that a computer operated car can provide. These machines not only let you relax a bit more on your drive to work each morning, they provide important information that can save you time and money. This is an idea known as “connected cars,” and it allows for better navigation, predictability and safety.

 

Much like the transition that phones made from a simple calling device to a computer in your pocket, vehicles are slowly becoming autonomous and also soon be able to connect to the internet. This change will allow cars to communicate with one another and relay information back to a central system. It can then use this data to improve the effectiveness of apps such as navigation. Each car immediately knows if there is an accident on the highway or if some new road work is slowing down traffic, thanks to other cars that have already encountered the incident. This allows for real-time updating of your route.

 

There are numerous exciting applications of this connectivity. Want to know if there is an open charging station or a spot available in a parking garage? Using environmental sensors, an already parked self-driving car could tell if there is room open next to it, allowing entire parking lots to be mapped out in less than a second. These dynamic apps will change the way people drive and navigate, and adapt to the constantly changing world by simply being connected to other vehicles.

 

Nissan expects to have these cars on the road by 2020, but for now you can check out the award winning #Nissan Altima or a used Nissan Maxima at Cardinale Nissan. We have a wide selection of all the new 2017 models, so check out our whole inventory online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
