New Phase of Motor Vehicle Development

Abstract

Development of motor vehicles has gone through several technological phases and today we are definitely in a new era that is primarily related to steering autonomy and vehicle propulsion systems. Although electric vehicles have become an absolute priority in some countries, their global expansion is happening and it is to be expected that they will become a near future in these regions as well. Today, special attention is drawn to advances in the development of autonomous driving systems, which will cause many changes in design, regulations and the environment. For the coming wave of change, we need to be adequately prepared and take part in global processes. In addition, it should be noted that the futuristic versions of vehicles capable of moving in multiple environments, on land, on or in water and in the air, are being widely promoted, and the EU is introducing mandatory application of some active and passive safety systems.
