For instance, cars can have a front camera and a side radar that can detect vehicles in front or in the blind spot of your vehicle and automatically adjust your car’s speed accordingly. Called adaptive cruise control, this features allows your car to automatically slow down or maintain a certain speed whenever it encounters certain vehicles and obstacles in its way.

• Multiple ports and access points for gadgets

Cars today are built with the capacity to support USB ports, wireless chargers, and even full-sized wall outlets to keep your gadgets and accessories juiced up.

Certain cars are capable of actually adjusting the temperature of their seats (ventilated seats), which can be extremely helpful for drivers travelling during warm or cold weather. This option, now even offered on relatively affordable cars, vastly increases the car’s potential to provide maximum comfort to passengers.

These massages are usually directly controlled through the car’s interface, and often feature a wide variety of massages. This feature is awesome, especially if you come across a stressful day and need to relax, well if you want your ride to be as comfortable as possible.
