Technology in Automobile
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show how technology has been used to enhance automobile development. The paper’s overall claim is that without technology, many of the advances made in this field would not have been possible. The paper will discuss three advancements in the automobile field that have been enhanced by technology. These advancements are: safety enhancements, speed enhancements, and alternative fuels. Research was done using data from various sources. Sources of the used articles are Google Scholar and the LAU libraries. Even though technology has benefited the automobile industry in numerous ways, it has also brought in some disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages include: Automobiles have become more expensive and automobiles are dependent on the technology in them, rather than on the human driving them. Through this paper, it is recommended that computers be given less power to control automobiles than it is now.
Keywords: hybrid, fossil fuel, auto-braking system (ATB), anti-lock system (ABS), coolant temperature sensors (CTS), engine control unit (ECU)
Advancements in The Automobiles Field Enhanced by The Continuous Evolution of Technology
Introduction
Automobiles became safer, fuel efficient, and faster. This can be attributed to the extensive research that has been employed before and during the manufacturing of the automobiles. In terms of safety, more safety measures have been introduced in the new models. For example, many automobiles today have the Auto-Braking System J(ATB) and the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), among other tweaks that have been added. These safety devices have been improved to work better. As mentioned, the automobiles have also become more fuel-efficient. More companies have opened up to the use of hydrogen fuel as opposed to fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel is cleaner and cheaper. However, more research is needed before the product is introduced into the global market. In the meantime, more companies are
