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.

2. Biometric Locks

Biometric Locks

The McLaren brand is familiar to anyone that’s watched more than their fair share of action movies. It’s the type of car that the ultra-rich playboy drives…when they aren’t involved in a drug heist, a car bust, or something equally dangerous. This car can go from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. Not as fast as the Venom, but it’s definitely a headturner nonetheless. It starts at 970 thousand dollars and climbs up from there depending on what extra features you want to add, or any fine-tuning you want to do under the hood.
