This document discusses technologies for entry-level cars of the future. It outlines emerging technologies like alternate fuels and advanced safety features. It then describes near future technologies like intelligent mobility systems using vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Concept cars are highlighted that use solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries integrated into composite body panels to increase sustainability. The document envisions a future with autonomous, electric, and digitally connected urban mobility solutions.

maturity but still has relatively few
users.
New technologies that are currently developing
or will be developed over the next five to ten
years, and which will substantially alter the
business and social environment.

13. Intelligent Mobility

14. Safety and Drive Assist Systems

16. Human – Machine Interfaces
Voice Input Controls
On-board WiFi Enjoyable Rear Seat Interactions
Remote Controlled Parking Emergency Stop Assist
Eco-Mode

17. Augmented Reality
Car firms are increasingly
looking to give drivers
enhanced, or augmented
reality (AR) that adds
extra information ranging
from directions to social
media feeds to the view
through the windscreen –
and it is designed to make
the roads more secure for
all of us.

18. Networked Mobility – V2V & V2I

19. Urban Mobility Vehicles
It is estimated that by 2030, urban areas will be
home to more than 60 percent of the world’s eight
billion people.
OEMs are in the race for developing single-
passenger vehicles for Urban Personal Mobility
solutions.

20.  The CityCar concept was designed as
an all-electric four-wheel ultra-small
vehicle (USV) for two passengers, and
drive-by-wire driver interface.
 Each wheel is independently digitally
controlled, with its own wheel motor,
allowing for turning on a 0-degree turn
radius, giving the vehicle more precise
maneuverability. This feature allows for
performing sideways motions
for parallel parking .
 The CityCar was designed with a
collapsible frame that enables the
vehicle to fold up for compact parking,
making possible to stack 4 CityCars in
the length of a traditional parking bay.

21. Energy Sources for Advanced Technology Vehicles

22. Digital Age
Transportation System
In a sense, formerly clear lines—between
humans and machines, between
ownership and nonownership, between
goods and services—will blur when
information generated and used
interchangeably by people and machines
becomes ubiquitous.
The transportation system of the future
will be built on collaboration among
neighbors, communities, governments,
and traffic managers on everything from
traffic planning to signal timing to
commute planning.

26. Towards Sustainability

33. The Yez concept will photosynthesize,
absorbing carbon dioxide from surrounding air
and emitting oxygen back into the atmosphere.
Among the many futuristic aspects of the Yez is
a roof that incorporates solar panels and
wheels that incorporate small wind turbines to
harvest energy from the environment.

34. VOLVO : Batteries in Composite Body Panels
Volvo is developing a special composite material consisting of
carbon fiber and polymer resin which will be –
 capable of storing and discharging electrical energy
 holding enough charge for 81 miles of electric driving
 and will recharge faster than the conventional EV batteries
used today.

36.  Lamborghini‘s Sesto Elemento Hyper-car is
such a special vehicle, that Lamborghini
had to make a unique factory just to
produce them
 A limited production of 20 numbers -
scheduled to be ready by 2013 - have
already been sold at $ 3.0 million each.
“The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how
the future of the super sports car can look –
extreme lightweight engineering, combined
with extreme performance results in extreme
driving fun”
Lamborghini “Sesto Elemento” 2013

37. Lamborghini’s Sesto Elemento - is a technology demonstrator :
 80 % of the car is CRPF, reducing the weight by 40 %
 Featuring a skin one-third the thickness of previous CFRP sports car
body panels, the car’s monocoque achieves the required rigidity
via integrated stiffeners
 Uses one-shot Forged Composites (patented) technology

38. Toyota Fun Vii Concept
The Fun Vii Concept (Vehicle
interactive internet) expresses
Toyota’s vision of a future where
people, cars and society are linked
together.
The main feature of the vehicle is
the Smart-Glass body surface used
as a display area that shows custom
colors, graphics and messages -
selected by the owner through a
smartphone app.

39. A car, a smartphone, an
entertainment console: Toyota Fun
Vii Concept Car is designed to
produce the ultimate driving
experience.
Among the technological highlights
are a “navigation concierge”
providing guidance through a vocal
interface; and the ability to link V2V
and V2I, allowing it to detect
potentially hazardous situations.
