1. TECH & DIGITAL
TRENDS 2016

2. HOW WILL BE THE CAR TOMORROW?

3. In the next
12 months
In 1-5 years In 5-10 years In 10-20 years In 20-30 years
In over
30 years
Cars will be
equipped with
sensors and
software able to
update via Internet
and that will
support driving,
while enhancing
the experience.
Cars will be
equipped with
cameras with
recognition
software able to
stop the car, or,
when needed, to
stabilise it.
A Wi-Fi system will
transmit the
position of the car
and will be able to
share the position
with other
vehicles, giving
way to the first
pilotless vehicles.
Highways will be
evolved and
connected and
able to support
pilotless cars. The
user will be only
necessary on
narrow and not-
structured streets.
Busses and smart
transport systems
will be able to
substitute own
vehicles. The
extra-urban
transfer will be
carried out on
faster vehicles.
Cities will be
connected
through ultra-fast
transport systems
and will be able to
allow the
connection
between cities and
areas today still
not connected,
directly via ground
and air.
