Summarizing 2024 in the Car Industry

 



Best Car- Toyota Camry

    The Toyota Camry was voted the best car of 2024 because of its User-friendly infotainment system, Standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ (advanced safety features), and Hybrid options for fuel efficiency. Toyota is an amazingly reliable brand, and it was a no-brainer that the Camry was overall the best car. A breakdown of its Standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ includes many new updates. It uses its front camera and radars to detect other things, has access to its brakes, and can stop a possible collision. Another safety update that is becoming popular in cars is lane control. All it does is help you from drifting off into different lanes while driving by pulling the wheel back. Using its cameras, it has many alerts including collision, speed limit, and parking.


Best Luxury Car- 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

    The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was voted the best luxury car for the following reasons: the MBUX infotainment system with augmented reality navigation, Advanced driver-assistance systems (Level 3 capabilities in some regions), and Plush interior with high-end materials. As the first car made, Mercedes deserves the role of the best Luxury car. Its new system has a voice assistant that can be activated by the phrase "Hey Mercedes".  It has a super high resolution and quality Touchscreen & Touchpad that can be really helpful. It also has dual displays that include one being the general info screen, and the other for the gage cluster.

 Best Electric Car- Tesla Model S Plaid

    The reasons that the Model S has been voted the best are really mind-blowing: 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, Over 390 miles of range, and Full Self-Driving package (with ongoing updates). The Plaid had its ownership of "the fastest accelerating car", with a time of 2.0 seconds, but Lucid came in as a huge competitor with a time of 1.89 seconds. Lucid Actually used to be my favorite car for a long while. When Tesla first came out with autopilot, the main points were its cameras, and sensors (Radar, Ultrasonic.) It now changed to only cameras with advanced neural network processing. 


    These are just 3 of the main categories and I will be adding more in another blog. Happy New Year!

How Does the Deepseek and OpenAi issue affect cars?

Image
  Recently, an AI company called Deepseek passed OpenAi in downloads and is currently #1 on the app store. This is very impressive because DeepSeek is a 7 Million dollar company, while OpenAi is 157 Billion. This rivalry could affect cars. Here's how: 1. Ai-powered autonomous vehicles AI-powered vehicles like Waymo or Tesla might switch their AI providers for better self-driving technology. Autonomous driving algorithms may be affected if Deepseek Ai or Open Ai restricts their AI models  due to disputes. 2. AI Licensing and Restrictions If OpenAi has to restrict its AI models due to competitive concerns, many cars will have to find alternatives for their navigation, voice assistance, or  predictive maintenance. If DeepSeek develops superior AI but faces geopolitical or licensing issues, some automakers might lose access to better AI tools. 3. Data and Cloud Dependencies If such restrictions or competition creates service disruption, then it could be a problem fo...
