The motor trade is constantly evolving and technology is advancing in
such leaps and bounds that it is actually keeping up. For years people within
the industry had to rely on their own resources to make a success of their
businesses.
In the industry today there are new technologies constantly being
introduced. Some of the advances we have seen in the past included the assisted
braking in vehicles to ensure that drivers were safer on the roads and then
there were the three point seat belts.
Today technology is so advanced that people within the industry can
start making the most of the things available. One of the exciting developments
are the self-drive cars which are already being tested in the USA. These
vehicles have been designed to drive themselves according to the Google Maps
software, they will advise the driver when they need to take over the control of
the vehicle but on long distance drives, the driver can sit back and relax.
Interestingly only one accident has been reported with these vehicles
and it was parked stationary at a traffic light and was bumped from behind.
Another exciting development within the trade that is being introduced
around the world is the intelligent speed adaption. This technological
advancement has already been introduced in many countries around the world
where the vehicle will actually slow down its speed to ensure it doesn’t’
accidently bump into the vehicle in front of it.
For the Trade
While there are so many advances when it comes to the vehicles
themselves, it is the actual technology which benefits your business that you
are interested in. We have already seen so many car dealers benefiting from the
internet and websites available. The ability to list vehicles as they come in
and put them up for sale either in a classified listing or via an auction site
has already improved sales.
If you think about it the internet has become a way of life and the
majority of clients will search for vehicles online and even book test drives
directly from their computer or smart phone.
Which brings me to the next technological advancement and that is the
smart phone with internet capabilities and an app for everything. You’ve
probably heard the saying there is an “app for everything.” This couldn’t be truer
and one of the apps available enables you to search a vehicle according to the
registration number to ensure it is not stolen and has never been written off,
a fantastic technological app for the motor trade when buying cars for resale.
