As you look at new vehicles, it is important to be aware of some of the coolest car features on the market today. There are lots of new car features that were not around even a few years ago.

Feature #1: Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control has been around for decades; however, the function of cruise control has remained unchanged for many years. Finally, cruise control has changed and become more modern. With adaptive cruise control, your system uses sensors and radars to match the vehicle's speed around you so that you don't have to speed up and push on the brakes with every change in the vehicles around you. Adaptive cruise control will make it easier to stay with the flow of traffic.

Feature #2: 360-Degree Camera

New cars are ditching the basic back-up camera and are embracing the 360-degree camera safely. With a 360-degree camera, you can see all around you when you are driving. That way, you will be able to see all angles of your vehicle. That way, you will have full visibility no matter how you are backing up or switching lanes. 

Feature #3: Parking Assist

Parking can be tricky. Not only do you have to back up, but you also have to ensure you don't hit any of the vehicles in the spot next to you. With parking assist, your vehicle uses sensors and cameras to help you steer into the spot without hitting the vehicles around you. With parking assist, you can cut down on the chance of a parking lot fender bender. 

Feature #4: Night Vision

If you do a lot of driving at night, it can be great to have a vehicle with a camera that is equipped with night vision. With night vision, you will be able to more easily see if a person or animal is on the road and respond appropriately. With night vision, you will be able to detect living things before your headlights even spot them. This provides you with extra reaction time, allowing you to stay safe when driving.

Feature #5: Heads-Up Display

When you need directions, looking over at your navigation screen in the middle of your vehicle or looking at the holder for your GPS or your phone takes your eyes off the road. With a heads-up display, you will be able to see directions right in front of you, on the lower portion of your windshield, above your steering wheel. You can also see other important information such as vehicle speed. 

Modern vehicles have lots of amazing safety features that enhance your driving experience. When shopping for a new vehicle, look for features such as adaptive cruise control, 360-degree camera, parking assist, night vision, and heads-up display.
