Top Tech Features to Consider for Your New Car

If you're on the hunt for a new car, then you've likely noticed all the high-tech features that these new models are equipped with. While some features can be done without, others can really improve the safety and driving experience of your vehicle. Here are the top tech features to consider for your new car: 

Cameras & Sensors

While backup cameras and rear radars aren't new, 2017 models offer more advanced systems for increased safety and convenience. In addition to the basic backup camera that detects objects directly behind you, vehicles are now able to detect approaching cross traffic. Radar technology identifies approaching traffic when you're backing up and immediately alerts you by sounding an alarm. Additionally, vehicles are featuring multiple cameras with enlarged fields of view and clear LED display screens. Other safety features like auto-braking, engaged steering, and lane departure warnings are being integrated to help drivers avoid collisions. 

Onboard WiFi  

Many car models are equipped with Bluetooth technology, but the future is onboard Wifi. This is the ultimate feature for those who prefer to stay connected or have to work on the go. Using your phone as a hot spot, you can stream your favorite music, park and check your messages, and more from the comfort and convenience of your car. 

Parental Controls

For parents who fear their teen driver might text and drive, speed or get distracted jamming out to their favorite tunes, parental controls can give you peace of mind. Many new vehicles can incorporate parental controls that allow you to limit the speed and audio volume, sound an alarm when seat belts aren't fastened, and even block your child's texts and calls when they're driving.
