Car Technology change

Just how far has the car industry come in recent years? From being a luxury way back in the 1930’s to the cheap affordable way you can buy them now using car contract hire it is amazing just how far they have come.

The knowledge of the games industry is the best way I can talk about the change in technology. I’m going to go back to the days of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or SNES for short. I could cover the first ever racing game but seeing as I was only really around from the realease of the SNES it is best that I only cover the time after this. F1 Pole position was one of the first driving games I ever played, for it’s time of 1993 it was a brilliant game.

Jump ahead just four years see’s the release of F1 pole position 64 on the Nintendo 64. It is amazing to see the difference between the two games. The 2-D to 3-D jump that took place between these two games was huge and it shows. However the next major jump doesn’t come for the next generation of consoles as the only difference there is improved 3-D graphics but the new F1 game on the PS3 is so realistic looking, it’s almost a waste of time watching it on T.V.

Of course the transition did not just happen to the gaming industry, there have been many advancements in the technology of the car over the same period of time. Without a doubt the best invention to come to the industry of cars has to be the Hybrid car. When the world’s oil supply runs dry Hybrid cars will most certainly be one of the main solutions to solve the problem, at least in the car business. The newer Hybrid cars have a better system in that when you brake the car, more power gets put into the battery.

Some of the other technology in the car is fantastic such as the touchscreen’s and the never to be forgotten tomtom system.

The Hyrbid car is only going to increase in sales (after the recession that is) and will certainly be the car of the future, but for nowl, you need a car that is both decent and afforable. Spend a lot less money on a leased car? The Audi contract hire looks pretty good as well as being as little as £214 a month.
