Description
Summary:	It is easy to distinguish a car built today from a car built 30 years ago: You simply need to look at it. But once you sit in the driver's seat of each vehicle, you'll notice a remarkable consistency. Today's vehicles may be more streamlined and technologically advanced, but the driver interface has remained largely the same for decades. But autonomous driving is just one of several factors that will reinvent the nature of transportation. The auto industry will be working with a treasure trove of new innovations that include wireless connectivity, sensors, improved artificial intelligence, and smart transportation infrastructures. All of these will enable sweeping changes in how we operate and interact with our vehicles. Many benefits will hinge upon telematics and connected services. Based on data delivered to the car, vehicles will be able to turn on the heat, flip on the air conditioner, or automatically de-ice the windows.
