15 MOST IMPORTANT AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

From 1991 until now we know it, there have been several technologies that have really changed the automotive industry. Here we list 15 of the most important technologies of the tribes of the last century that have advanced the guide, safety and entertainment systems on a train. We go from less essential technology, to the most important. 

1. Electronic vector flash control system with differential equipment

Mitsubishi is one of the first trains manufacturers to broadcast trains equipped with electronic control equipment. This system, called active wink control, was used in its high performance Mitsubishi evolution model in the late 90s. The system can block the rear differential gear to allow the car to be directed stable in the curves. Now also with advances in electronic technology combined with mechanical systems, high -performance trains are also equipped with active differentials that allow flash to be delivered to any wheel if instability is detected. SUV race models and 4 -wheel tractor are not left behind in the use of this technology to use on rough roads, for example, the Land Rover LR4, which is equipped with an active differential gear system capable of blocking the system of differential gears to move on Rocky Roads. 

2. High -tech headlights, 1992

Since decades passed, it can be said that the mentol or other components of the light are easily found in any car change store. Since the 90s, light engineering has advanced. In 1992, Hid lamps (high intensity discharge) began to be used by most European trains, including Luxury cars Mercedes Benz. Since then, lighting technology has advanced and started competition between technologies. At the beginning of the 21st century, LED lights (light emitting diodes) also began. LEDs are favored due to their small size, low energy consumption and easy adaptability to the lamp shape, which gives trains designers an advantage. In the future, lamp technology will continue to advance, trains manufacturers in Germany are now moving forward in laser technology using laser technology. The lasers are able to deliver 1000 times more shine than LEDs but using much less power. 

3. Smart Lock, 1998.

For those who are familiar with trains that use 'keyless', of course, you will feel uncomfortable when you turn on old trains engines that do not use intelligent blocking technology. For a decade, Smart Locks has made it easier for the guides to enter and start the engine. The key should only be placed in the pocket, the door will not be blocked if the door support is held, sits with the brakes on and the engine start switch is pressed, the engine roar is a standard comfort in the trains from today. In 1998, Mercedes-Benz was the first car manufacturer to use this technology, starting with an intelligent blocking of the size of a credit card, so that it is now almost the size of a fire collection. 

4. Double clutch transmission, 2003.

Dual CLAC transmission actually has a better level of efficiency than the manual, but provides comfortable driving as an automatic transmission train. The 6 -speed CLAC system works with a CLAC for 1.2 and 3 gears, while another CLAC for 2.4 and 6. popular gears. With this system to use it in its regular models. Now, almost all European car manufacturers use it in the production of their main models. 

5. OBD 2 (Diagnosis on board 2), 1996.

OBD 2 is an advanced electronic controlled fuel injection system that has been in use during the last two decades. It is able to verify or detect the instability of the operational control systems and provide precise air and fuel management in an electronic control fuel injection engine. Since OBD 2 was introduced two decades ago, engine performance has improved, but at the same time it can control exhaust gases. OBD 2 also includes a variety of additional electronic products sold to add engine performance. 

6. Turbo Technology Craze, 2008.

Turbo was first used in production trains in the 1960s. The compressed air rotated by the exhaust gas can be forced into the air to enter the combustion chamber. When combined with a mixture of more fuel, it can provide more power. Turbo, which is known as a tool to add energy without adding engine content, has been combined with direct injection technology that can also reduce the level of air pollution. Although the turbo on the train now has a smaller size, it has been updated with several technologies, including the use of a twin to allow the engine that uses it to have strong flash and power in any engine speed range. The materials used have also been updated and allow them to have a longer shelf life. 

7. Tire air pressure monitoring system, 2000.

Individual monitors show amounts of air pressure for each tire and alert the driver when an individual tire is low.

  To add a level of security during piloting, the pressure control of the tires has become mandatory for trains emitted in the United States, while in Malaysia, the trains of Europe are the majority trains equipped with this system. The tire pressure control system was first used in the high performance car Porsche 959 in the 1980s. Initially, this system could only detect a lack of tire pressure when the train moved, this was It should use this system a wheel rotation speed sensor. The use of a speed sensor as a tire pressure sensor causes a slower sensor and endangers guide and passengers. With the advancement of electronic technology, the tire pressure monitoring system has used sensors that are inside the tire and allow the tire pressure to be detected more accurately. 

8. Reverse Chamber, 2002.

Before 2002, only the rear and side mirrors were the guide's confidence to look back and next to the pilot. In 2002, Infiniti launched the Q45 model equipped with an inverse camera. A decade after that, Nissan presented its last reverse camera, called Around View monitor. Use more cameras placed around the train to produce an image around the train. Now, almost all trains are equipped with rear view cameras, it is also sold in car accessory stores of various brands at reasonable prices. 

9. GM EV1, the first electric production train capable of sliding on the roads, 1996.

Electrical trains were introduced before trains were created using internal combustion engines. But with slow development battery technology that makes electric trains work in the automotive industry. In the 1990s, GM had its EV1 with electric buggy out of the way, which was able to move between 70-90 miles. The EV1 is like the rebirth of the electric train model, with the advance of the original load battery, several electric train models have been introduced, including the Tesla High Performance electric train that can compete with the high performance train of the engine of the motor of the engine of the engine of the engine internal combustion. 

10. Bluetooth, 1998.

The use of Bluetooth as a file transfer between phones has been widely used among mobile phone users for a long time. The use of Bluetooth in the automotive world has begun to be used in 2001, it is used as a tool to integrate with the mobile phone to facilitate the guides to use the smartphone without keeping it (hands -free). Now Bluetooth is used by almost all car manufacturers in the world, and is integrated with trains entertainment systems, for example, as song player or music player. 

11. Cruise control using radar (radar -based cruise control), 1999

The first cruise control system could only control the train speed according to the speed we wanted. It became popular when the proton Wira was launched, and the system in the proton was very basic and used a cable that controlled the carburetor. While the cruise control system that uses radar introduced by Mercedes Benz can measure the distance between the vehicle we are guiding and the vehicle in the front. You can also keep the distance between the train we are guiding and the vehicle on the front. Until now, this system can warn if something happens in front of the guided train, and some can stop without the guide pressing the brake. This technology will also be used as one of the technologies in the manufacture of autonomous vehicles. 

12. Air Bags, 1998.

The majority of European and American brands began to put airbags as standard security equipment in the 1990s. Mercedes Benz was the first brand to use modern air bags in the 1980s, then followed by other brands of all the world. At first, the air bags were used only in the guide and the front parts, now the air bags also have several shapes and are placed uniformly. In fact, the number of airbags plays a paper as a bait to attract customers aware of safety.

13. The navigation system uses GPS satellites, 2000.

For those who used to travel by train in other countries in the past, of course, a book that contained maps had to buy as a guide. In 2000, BMW introduced the precise GPS navigation system and since then a variety of GPS navigation systems has been introduced, including mobile gps navigation systems such as Garmin. The GPS navigation system has been updated in several ways, including applications that can be used on smartphones. GPS cruise systems are also important in autonomous trains technology.

 14. Stability control, 1995.

Although several technologies were introduced in the 80s and early 90s by several car manufacturers, including Toyota and Mitsubishi to prevent trains from cutting, 1995 was the beginning of a stability control system when Mercedes Benz, BMW and Toyota They introduced it as an electronic stability control control system. Although at first it was only equipped in luxury or large cars, it is now a standard misfortune system. This system can provide stable and safe driving control in almost all road conditions. One of the reasons why the stability control system is becoming increasingly popular is because the vehicle company is running to obtain a 5 -star rating of the ASEAN NCAP. Among the conditions to obtain this certification is that the vehicle must be equipped with a driver for the use of a harness and stability control. 

15. Toyota Prius and hybrid technology, 1998

Hybrid technology is the greatest technology in fuel savings. No technology can provide fuel savings, but at the same time it can also provide additional horse or flash power. With original load battery technology that is increasingly sophisticated, as well as increasingly advanced electric motor technology, hybrid car battery can store high load and electric motor can provide additional power of up to hundreds of horses of force. Toyota is considered a car manufacturer that has popularized hybrid cars. Since it was introduced in the 1990s, the PRI has sold more than 4 million units and now Toyota has launched a variety of hybrid models, including Camry and Lexus.
