Smartphone integration is one of the most important features for cars to have right now. A phone is one of the most practical electronic devices to have, as they let you browse the internet, communicate with others and find new destinations. To make the most out of your driving experience though, Cardinale Nissan has bound these great phone apps for you:

 

GasBuddy: Saving money at the pump is always a priority, and this easy to use app will find the lowest price in your area. Even just a dime difference will slowly accumulate, and you can even submit gas prices yourself, giving you a chance to win $100 of free gas.

 

Carcorder: Dashcams are great to have on your car as a record of your driving, but can be expensive. With this app, place your phone in the right position on the dashboard and turn it on. It captures each of your drives, as well as your location and speed. It is also inexpensive, at just $1.99.

 

Waze: As an alternative to Google or Apple Maps, Waze is perfect and free. It lets users report accidents, traffic jams or other disturbances, so you always are on the fastest route. You can even send your ETA to any of your friends.

 

Dashdroid and iCarMode: If you have a dashboard mount, these programs provide easy shortcuts to commonly used programs like your music. You can create custom shortcuts and voice commands, letting you can keep both hands driving the car. iCarMode is $1.99, while Dashdroid is free.

Nissan Predicts Upcoming Trends

In 2014, Nissan launched the Nissan Future Lab. This organization researches the constant changes in the vehicle industry and how Nissan can stay ahead of the game with cutting edge technology. The Nissan Future Lab predicted two trends that are bound to gain traction in the future. These two trends are electric vehicles and car sharing.

The Nissan Future Lab’s most recent venture is a joint project with Scoot Networks in San Francisco. With 10 Nissan New Mobility Concept cars, both companies hope to use the program to understand why people like the idea of car sharing, and how it is accomplished. These cars are reserved using an app created by Scoot Networks. Nissan has a similar car sharing program in Japan that has seen success. Tests like these are usually performed in an urban environment so the collected data can give more accurate and useful information. Data collected from these projects can inform Nissan of the most beneficial location to place the vehicles, as well as how the drivers can best return them to their original locations.

Nissan has also predicted electric vehicles to be the next big trend. They recently stated that in the United Kingdom, charging stations will out number of fuel stations by the end of the current decade. This analysis is based on the prediction that zero emission vehicles will soon outnumber standard vehicles. This data is derived from multiple reports that the demand for electric vehicles will sharply increase in the upcoming years. Nissan hasn’t yet been quoted on the influence this will have on the North American market, but it is assumed that these new adjustments will have a global impact.

With this new information, Nissan continues to bring innovative solutions to the market by developing new technology to meet the needs of the consumer. Visit Cardinale Nissan to view the latest models Nissan has to offer!
