New technologies that may appear on car models in 2024

Here are some notable emerging technologies that could be applied in the near future:

Improved fuel-efficient combustion technology

Last year, Porsche filed multiple patents, proposing innovative ideas for new methods to increase combustion efficiency. One highly applicable method is the use of forced induction to assist engine start-up.

Zuffenhausen is currently researching the implementation of racing car technology on public roads using pneumatic valve systems. This enables the vehicle to have impressive acceleration capabilities in the future.

Ford enhances real-world applications in vehicles

In contrast to Porsche, Ford aims to enhance practical applications in pickup trucks, allowing users to enjoy more conveniences.

In the future, the company will add horizontal sliding rails and a robotic arm to the truck bed, allowing the attachment of various accessories, including a 3D printer.

Ford will also develop an exterior body panel that can function as a sliding table, a truck bed that can double as a refrigerator, and an improved rear door system. The pickup truck can now be magically transformed into a six-wheeler.

Moreover, the American automaker is developing a mobile movie theater and additional roof-mounted accessories to transform an ordinary pickup truck into a luxurious one.

Improved driving technology

Ferrari is also researching ways to improve driving skills and provide maximum support for safe driving. The company is developing vibrating seats to notify drivers of their mistakes.

Meanwhile, other car manufacturers have different approaches to alerting drivers, such as displaying notifications directly on the windshield and providing virtual guidance.

Improved battery technology and optimized performance

With the rise of the electric vehicle industry, many automakers are focusing on improving battery technology and optimizing the performance of electric vehicles.

Recently, Volvo has developed a flexible rear wing that enhances downward force on the car, allowing the tires to have better grip and stability.

Similarly, General Motors is researching a reduced drag system to enhance the speed and power of electric vehicles.

Safety technology for user protection

To maximize user safety and reduce injuries in accidents, car companies have researched and developed various safety features.

For example, Ford has introduced the “inflating air dam” concept. This equipment is installed above and below the front bumper, functioning like a traditional airbag. When a collision is detected, it will instantly deploy.

Although the size of this airbag is relatively small and cannot fully protect the person being hit, it helps prevent the person from being dragged under the vehicle and minimizes the risk of injury.

In addition, Ford is developing vibrating seat belts to remind drivers to fasten their seat belts. Porsche is also testing technology that can prevent running red lights even when the traffic light is obstructed from view.

Meanwhile, Subaru is developing anti-rear-end collision technology to reduce accidents on the road.
