It used to
be that power windows and power locks epitomized vehicle luxury and
safety. Now, they’re merely basic features for the average car.
Through the years, technology has blessed drivers with many more
useful gadgets and goodies. Here are some features that will make car
shopping a bit trickier yet a lot more fun for you:
Anti-Lock
Braking System
In a
skidding situation, a turning wheel has more traction than one that’s
not moving. ABS monitors your individual wheel speeds, and if one
locks up, they allow the needed maneuverability so you can steer
clear of the obstacle that caused you to step on the brakes in the
first place.
Global
Positioning System
Using GPS
system and sensors, it is possible to pinpoint the exact location of
a vehicle anywhere on the globe. With GPS, you can be given accurate
directions to help you get to your destination. It can also guide you
to the nearest police station, gas station, and ATM, and even steer
you away from roads with heavy traffic.
Remote
Keyless Entry
Keyless
entry systems allow you to unlock your car with a single push of a
button. This safety feature is very useful at night, especially in
dark or dimly lit parking spaces where it’s necessary to get in
your car quickly.
