Cars have been an important part of our lives for decades now, with most families having more than one at a time. While these cars are already advanced with the latest technologies such as power steering, easy maneuverability, and sleeker bodies, the future is still very bright for them and big improvements can be seen on the road ahead. We have already witnessed the introduction of little luxuries, such as sensors for easy parking, push buttons to start and individual climate zones. However, in this century we are likely to see the kinds of technologies we have only seen in movies in the past.

Safety
Safety is always a main priority of car manufacturers. This is actually the major concern aside from the roominess of the car, especially for families looking for the safest vehicle out there. Systems that help with driving, such as reverse sensors, aid in safety. The changes will possibly demand a transition to new materials to be used in these cars -- ones that are lighter yet very durable. When you combine these systems for safe driving with safe materials, it will help decrease injury and death resulting from accidents.

Source of Energy
Auto manufacturers have been experimenting with different energy sources for a long time in order to come up with a way for us not to depend on oil so much. Right now, several manufacturers are offering hybrid cars that make use of petroleum and electric energy sources. In the future, cars probably won't rely on oil at all. Car manufacturers are studying hydrogen, solar power, and nitrogen as potential replacements. They have even looked into electric-powered cars utilizing recycled energy coming from the exhaust.

Entertainment
The possibilities here are infinite. Entertainment systems and DVDs can now fit in some cars and as time goes by, this will become standard in motor vehicles. Soon, it will be a common practice to surf the Internet right in your own car, and as the latest technology improves, you might find yourself watching a movie while you ride in your motor vehicle.
