Information and communication technologies play an important role in improving the production quality of any product. Corporations and small companies can make it easier to do business with customers, suppliers, and distributors at a new level. In addition, the integration of information technology into the automotive industry has added many new developments to this sector of industry.
The introduction of information technology is gaining great importance in highly competitive business, and it may solve not only the cybersecurity challenges in the automotive industry. It enables the use of mobile technologies to reduce production costs, increase the value of major business processes and projects, as well as support the development of systems for the future automotive standard.
In this article, we will dive into the world of mobile technologies at the intersection with this lucrative industry. Have a pleasant reading!
Mobile technologies and applications in the automotive industry
Modern vehicles have become more efficient, safer, and connected to our lives than ever before. The automotive industry is going through new stages of development, such as GPS or mobile applications to control car systems by means of devices with operating systems.
GPS applications for car control via smartphone
GPS systems in the car have become a necessity since the complexity of road networks increases, as well as the unpredictability of conditions on the road. Earlier, GPS systems helped us get to our required destination. Today, this technology has taken a big step forward:
- It helps drivers to determine the best routes of traffic to this destination.
- GPS offers the most efficient routes and evaluates road conditions in real time.
- Using the mobile app, users can track car mileage and speed, as well as the distance they have traveled during the time of the particular trip.
Besides, mobile apps with GPS can help drivers find a stolen car and track the status of the vehicle by warning the user about faults in the car system.
Other useful features of mobile applications in the automotive industry
It happens that drivers fall asleep while driving. There is special software that does not let the driver get into this situation. They determine when drivers fall asleep, and warn them accordingly. One example of such mobile applications is Pillow for iPhone and Apple Watch.
Moreover, there is unique software that can determine the weather conditions using various sensors and inform the driver about them or even take appropriate action. One of the functions of these mobile applications is rain detectors for wipers activation and fog detectors for vehicles’ headlamps activation.
Mobile apps with pedestrian detection systems have brought benefits on the road as well. They can identify pedestrians on the road and distance them. They even can take measures when the distance from the particular pedestrian is reduced sharply. The system first sends an audible warning to the driver and then performs emergency braking.
Conclusion
Mobile technologies transform the automotive industry and contribute to improving both the user experience of drivers and the production processes of corporations. The integration of connectivity, autonomous systems, and innovative technologies like the Internet of Things or artificial intelligence can make cars safer, more convenient, and more efficient.
Experts are confident that the development of these technologies will continue to have a significant impact on the industry and daily life of drivers for years to come.
