“7 Must-Have Functions of Modern Cars: Remote Control, Software Updates, and More”

The American “Tesla” was the first to realize that software for machines can and should be updated just like computers and phones, but many companies already provide this function. The already mentioned “Hyundai”, “Jaguar Land Rover” and others follow this path.

So, when it’s time to update the software, all you have to do is click a few virtual buttons on the media screen, and remote service with the car will do the rest, saving the owner miles and time.

What we dreamed of as children can be realized with another new function: the car can be steered like a radio-controlled model. One might ask – where could it be useful? Nowadays, when the cars are getting bigger, but the width of the parking spaces does not change, sometimes you have to maneuver in such a narrow way that it is difficult to get out at the end. In such situations, the ability to control the machine from the outside is incredibly convenient.

The German premium class manufacturer BMW offers this feature in its models, and it can also be used by owners of some of the latest Hyundais.

One of the most useful functions is the review of vehicle data. “Mileage, date of service, remaining amount of fuel and other technical parameters. If there is any doubt about something, the car owner can always use this remote diagnostics and, if necessary, request a visit to the service.”

But that’s not all. Apps from some manufacturers show even more detailed information. For example, all trips, average speed, fuel consumption, routes, etc. This is very useful if several people use the car and you want to know whether it has violated traffic rules.

To warm or cool

The last, or the seventh, useful function of modern cars allows you to warm up or cool down the cabin before getting into the car. Electric car manufacturers were the first to show off such an opportunity, then – representatives of the luxury segment. This feature is now available in many business apps. In it, you can indicate what temperature you want, at what time, etc. Thus, innovative technologies allow you to enjoy even more comfort and driving pleasure.
