If you want to learn about how car would be look like next, then you may want to read this article. Specifically we'll discuss here some future car technologies that auto industry is planning to implement next. We will discuss on how auto is going to serve us better and we will present some interesting development of such experiment There are some major areas where auto industries are focusing to develop their next cars. Fuel is an important factor on this regard. Future car is leaning towards alternative power source like biofuel, electricity, air, nitrogen or may be hydrogen. Research and development in fuel efficiency has gone so far that auto will no longer depend solely on petroleum. Reducing weight is another major issue of design. Cars are going to be as light as possible for fuel efficiency. Engineers are focusing on using of materials that promise greater strength with lightness. In this case, use of carbon fibre, fibreglass, dur-aluminum and carbon nano-tubes are given priority in designing instead of steel. Future car technology is also giving importance on efficient fuel consumption. Engineers has found that while someone press on brake; it`s engine generates huge energy that get lost in the form of heat. Regenerative brakes are invented in this case that converts kinetic energy produced during braking into electricity to store in the car battery. Car industries are also making their technology compatible in using the exhausted gas. Gas exhausted from an auto is used to run a steam engine that would contribute to add extra power. The Use of fluid dynamics to reduce air drag while cars use to move fast is getting more and more sophisticated as well. Compressed air car is another technology which comes in focus recent time. In this technology, autos will be solely powered by air or by combination of compressed air and fuel like gasoline or diesel. When auto was invented first, it runs on steam engine where pressure of steam was used to move engine pistons that drive the auto. Compressed air technology involves same thing where compression and decompression moves the pistons. Scientists and engineers are also working on developing flying car. But, the concept of making flying car might be slightly different than your thoughts. These cars would be able to run on roads but not practically you need to drive it on roadway. The question is if you are able to drive a car on the air then why you need to drive it on road? That`s why, flying car design is giving emphasis on the size of the car to accommodate it efficiently in urban environment. Another future car experiment is going on for developing autonomous car that means a car will drive itself. These cars will be equipped with software and hardware to take real-time decision on accurate movement of the car.
