4 Great Features of Today’s Tech-Enhanced Cars

Cars have come a long way in terms of features, comfort, safety, and everything in between. The more that we can put into a car, the more that we’ll use it. People are driving everywhere they need to go, preferring it to air travel sometimes because they’re able to control the experience in a different way.

There have been some accidents, sure, but they’ve been collisions caused by other drives. Gosh, sounds a lot like real life right?

This technology amazes us because it could severely cut down on fatigue while getting from one place to another. It would also prevent accidents as people wouldn’t have to dose themselves with caffeine just to stay alert enough to drive. There are some obvious health benefits to this.
