6 Trends to Shape the Near Future of the Automotive World

The last couple of years have been pretty hectic for the automotive world. Combined with the revolution undergone thanks to electric vehicle technologies, the difficulties of production and sales due to the global economic crises led the automotive world to experience a period of ups and downs. However, the near future, in which the concept of transportation will be redefined, is quite exciting.

Future Is in the Electric

Before delving into the trends in the automotive world, we need to underline the principal trend that led to the emergence of all others. It will be electric vehicles to shape the future of the automotive world.

Electric vehicles will not be merely vehicles with electric motors. They will also enable the shift of the concept of the automobile from mechanics to digital.

From Horsepower to Digital Power

In the near future, automotive manufacturers will have to recreate themselves as digital brands. Particularly with the spread of technologies developed around electric vehicles such as autonomous driving, the competition in the automotive world will extend to software and mechanics, and electronics. Collaborating with tech companies and building their own software teams, the major automotive manufacturers are already getting prepared for this competitive environment that is to become much harsher.

Autonomous Driving

It is an inarguable fact that electric vehicles will redefine the concept of "automobile."  The electric vehicle revolution will not only cover the shift from internal combustion engines to electric motors. It will also completely change the technologies for driving these vehicles.

Autonomous driving technologies constitute the most important result of this change. Thanks to autonomous driving, the concept of travel will be redefined.  The same technology will also make travels far safer and more comfortable.

Digital Control and Automobile Design 

Replacement of mechanic controls by electronic ones in electric cars will create a vast area of freedom for automotive designers. Although the design of most electric vehicles today is similar to conventional vehicles', we may see unorthodox designs in the future.

IoT Vehicles

IoT, the "internet of things" technologies, will be visible in many areas of our everyday life in the years ahead. We have already started using the first examples of such technologies. We are able to start the heater or robot vacuum cleaner at home when we are away from there.

The automotive world will get its share from these developments as well. Smart vehicles that can connect to the internet will offer a much different travel experience. The use of IoT technologies in transportation will change the riding experience, and the ways of doing business, and social life will be affected by this change.

Environment and Safety

Since the early 1990s, the automotive world has taken significant steps in safety and environment due to public pressure as well as the pressure from the national and international institutions.  Given the increasing investments in electric vehicles, it can be said that these steps will accelerate in the years ahead.

Almost all important players in the automotive sector have drawn up their roadmaps for reaching the "zero carbon emission" target. On the other hand, software and hardware technologies required for eliminating road accidents are rapidly being developed. Road accidents seem to be sinking into history, thanks to the common standards set by the automotive industry itself and through its joint works with government agencies.
