2016 New Car Tech

1. Tesla Autopilot

This year, Tesla introduced a fresh Autopilot program for its Model S electric car. It has the ability to keep the car properly aligned within a lane, control its speed using traffic-conscious cruise control, and change lanes automatically when the turn signal is tapped.

2. BMW Active Driving Assistant Plus

The refashioned BMW 7 Series luxury car has an available feature named Active Driving Assistant Plus. It can ensure that the car stays within a highway lane at speeds up to 130 mph. Moreover, it prevents the driver from switching lanes if another vehicle is in the blind spot.

3. Honda LaneWatch

The 2016 Honda CR-V, HR-V, Accord coupe and sedan are equipped with the LaneWatch system. It offers a video display of the right side of the road when the right turn signal is activated. This helps drivers notice pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles.

4. Ford Self-Washing Front/Rear Cameras

The 2016 Ford Edge and Explorer crossover SUVs come with front and rear cameras that provide a 180-degree wide-angle view. These cameras assist drivers in seeing around corners when the view from the driver’s seat is blocked. An additional feature is automatic lens washers to maintain a clear view under all weather conditions.

5. Cadillac Rearview Camera Mirror

Starting next year, the new Cadillac CT6 luxury car will include a streaming-video rearview mirror. This feature provides a panoramic view behind the car that isn’t blocked by passengers’ heads, headrests or rear window pillars. It is touted to enhance the rear field of vision by 300 percent. However, if preferred, the system can be switched back to a traditional mirror mode.
