Innovation makes our lives easier and there is no shortage of innovative ideas and concepts in the automotive industry. These innovations come as features, tools or gadgets that make driving easier, safer or more enjoyable. Some may address a problem or challenge car owners and drivers face in general. Others give you a peek into the future of the industry. Although such ingenious inventions are accessible in the aftermarket, some are useful enough to become a standard feature in the future.
Ingenious Car Inventions
Let’s take a look at some of the ingenious car inventions that take automotive innovation to the next level:
Clearmotion Suspension System
ClearMotion utilizes a predictive suspension system that offers a smooth riding experience as it cancels out ride bumpiness by countering road roughness. This gives the passengers unparalleled levels of comfort while improving the car’s handling and stability.
The system makes use of electro-hydraulic devices known as Activalve. It can be mounted on the side of standard shock absorbers of the car with minimal modification in body and chassis. The cloud operated device works in real-time to sense the road conditions so cars can react accordingly.
Wireless Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
The wireless TPMS can be applied to almost any vehicle by installing battery-operated and water-resistant sensors on each tyre. This comes in handy for vehicles without TPMS features as standard.
The system uses Bluetooth technology to pair up with smartphones. It allows individual sensors to show info of tyre pressure on your phone screen and notify if the pressure gets too low.
Weatherproof Car Tent
The tent by Lanmodo is a unique accessory that can be strapped onto the roof of a car to protect against harsh weather conditions. The automatic tent comes with a remote key to lock and unlock the tent. Hence you can fold and unfold it at the press of a button. The tent can use a separate stand to make a standard camping tent, which comes in handy on outdoor adventures.
Car Capsule
The car capsule is an interesting car accessory to protect your car from environmental damage. The cover is mainly targeted towards the users who wish to store their vehicle while retaining its pristine condition for an extended time.
The capsule now comes in various forms such as a bubble cover for indoor and outdoor parking. The cover uses PVC plastic for high durability and protects against heavy dropped objects. The capsule has an integrated fan to inflate it in around 15 to 20 minutes. The charcoal filter around the fan removes moisture and contaminants from the capsule.
Pre-Crash Airbags
The pre-crash airbags are mounted on the side of the vehicle to mitigate the exterior damage from side collisions. Lateral collisions are often found to be more dangerous as the impact zone directly targets the passenger or driver side. Hence your survival chances are improved as the airbag triggers before the side impact.
Track N Go
Track N Go are wheel driven tracks that can be easily installed in a vehicle. The tracks can make traversing difficult terrain a breeze. However, they are only designed for 4×4 vehicles that fulfill certain requirements.
Airless Tyres
Once commercialised, airless tyres can revolutionize the tyre industry. The tyres make use of high strength polyresin material to absorb impacts on the road. Vehicles with such tyres won’t need a spare wheel as they don’t go flat or get punctured.
However, the tyres are still in the test phase as they cannot sustain high speed. Various manufacturers are invested in making such innovation a reality, which will open up tough competition for regular tyres.
Magnetic Car Door Protector
When vehicles are closely parked together, impact from the opening door of the vehicle parked next to it can damage or dent the sides. This is where magnetic car door protectors come into play. The accessory is in the form of a wide strip that can easily stick around the sides to prevent damage. A security cable is hooked from inside to prevent theft of the protector.
Mini Lifting Bags
Mini lifting bags are designed to lift an overturned vehicle safely without a crane. The bags can be pressurized to lift the vehicle with minimal risk of damage. These low pressured bags can save both time and labour required to clear an overturned vehicle.
The blower for lifting bags comes with multiple connections to pressurize the bag. Each connection is outfitted with separate valves to regulate the pressure of individual bags.
AutoLift
AutoLift 3000 has become a choice for lifting jack among professionals. The light weighted portable jack can easily lift the car and tilt it for better access to internal components. The jack is available in different sizes suited for small garages and homes. Additionally, lifting from AutoLift is also safer as compared to traditional jacks.
