In today’s world, the majority of automotive technology is focused on making vehicles safer. However, many automakers are also incorporating convenience-based technology as well. Many drivers spend a significant amount of time in their vehicles, either for work or for pleasure. As a result, they have become increasingly interested in innovative automotive technology. Previously, the best technology features were only reserved for high-end luxury models. Additionally, they were often only offered as add-on options. However, in recent years, several automakers started to make technology features standard on their vehicles. This is because they saw consumers demand more value for the money. Consumers today expect features such as navigation, voice activation, and safety features powered by technology. Here are some of the most exciting car technologies to come out in recent years, along with which manufacturers are implementing these technologies. Active Window Displays In our highly technological world, distractions are abundant. This is especially true when driving. Countless accidents have occurred due to distracted driving. As a result, most states have laws on the books regarding texting and driving, and even eating and driving. Additionally, with the advent of navigation technology, people are often distracted by their GPS systems as well. This is where active window displays come in. The formal name for active window displays is Head Up Display technology (HUD). It was introduced roughly 20 years ago, though it has only recently gained exposure. Rather than housing navigational interfaces on a physical LED or LCD display, the same information is projected onto the windshield, where it is virtually transparent. The purpose of the Head Up Display technology is mainly to improve safety. HUD keeps the driver’s head in an upright position looking straight ahead, presenting translucent images that do not block the driver's line of vision. More sophisticated HUD systems work extremely well with navigation technologies. Some even highlight upcoming turns, making it almost impossible to get lost, even in unfamiliar territory. HUD technology is still relatively new. However, industry insiders estimated that by 2020, the technology will have evolved to display very vibrant images on the car’s windshield. Some carmakers are even ahead of the curve - Audi, Mercedes, and GM have all begun to incorporate HUD technology into their vehicles. Others - like Jaguar, Land Rover, and Hyundai - are expected to follow suit. Car-to-Car Communication Another impressive technology feature for vehicles is car-to-car communication. The major benefit of car-to-car communication is its warning system, which can help drivers avoid car accidents. This technology works by having vehicles send out signals with information such as vehicle position, brake status, and speed. This information is then shared with surrounding vehicles. This information is received by other cars on the road, which can appropriately respond with a little to no driver intervention. The 2017 Cadillac CTS is one model that has integrated car-to-car communication. Cadillac’s version, called vehicle-to-vehicle communication (or V2V), utilizes technology similar to Wi-Fi in order to share data such as driving conditions, sudden braking, and nearby accidents. The automaker asserts that using V2V will help drivers be more aware. It will also improve traffic flow by avoiding slowdowns and reducing the number of collisions. Making Travel Plans Right from Your Car Recently, automaker Chevrolet teamed up with travel giant Priceline in order to integrate hotel booking technology into its vehicles. The booking service will utilize Chevrolet’s OnStar system in order to access the Priceline website directly.
Vehicle operators will be able to book hotels using two separate options. The first option allows customers to access a live agent simply by pressing the OnStar button. Once connected, the agent can conduct a search on behalf of the customer while asking about preferences and adding options. Alternately, the customer can also access the Priceline app directly without having to speak to a representative. Using this option, the driver will be instantly presented with Priceline’s entire hotel inventory and given the ability to book right from the vehicle. Chevrolet didn’t integrate this feature just because they thought it would be cool. The partnership with Priceline comes after a great deal of feedback from customers, who showed interest in gathering travel information while on the road. Car manufacturers are stepping up to the plate by integrating more technology features into their vehicles. Additionally, they are also teaming up with other companies to bring consumers an unparalleled experience within their own vehicles. From booking travel reservations to avoiding delays while traveling, today’s in-car technologies are making travel more pleasurable for many consumers. Travel tech continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and 2017 is poised to be an exciting year for tourists and industry insiders alike. Explore some of the most highly anticipated travel tech conferences scheduled for 2017 and discover what each has to offer. HDI 2017 Conference & ExpoThe HDI 2017 Conference & Expo, which is scheduled to take place in Washington, DC, from May 9-12, is designed for tech support professionals, from entry-level to CEO. Tech support is an increasingly critical component of the travel industry, especially since a great deal of travel transactions are completed online. The HDI Conference & Expo will help professionals understand how important their roles are, as well as address common barriers. According to information on the HDI Conference & Expo website, professionals at all levels will find value in its offerings. The program will include topics such as improving productivity, networking, the latest innovations in customer experience management, and desktop support, as well as a host of other interesting topics. A conference pass includes access to four keynote speakers, networking activities, break-out sessions, breakfast briefings, and in-depth sessions. Food and beverages are included. The HDI Conference & Expo will offer pricing ranging from the Super Saver level to standard pricing, with earlier booking subject to deeper discounts. Travel Tech EuropeThe Travel Tech Europe conference, one the largest travel conferences in the world, will be held February 22-23, 2017 in London. This two-day event will be packed with exhibitors who will highlight new travel industry opportunities and bring brand awareness to a variety of up-and-coming travel partners. For those in the travel accommodations sector, the Travel Technology Europe is not to be missed, as experts will offer valuable insights, and a variety of leading technologies will be on display. The experts will hold in-depth sessions that will show travel industry insiders how to increase revenue and expand their businesses. Travel Tech Europe is expected to draw over 6,000 attendees, and although it will only last for two days, it will include various showcases as well as more than 30 suppliers who specialize in hotel accommodations and in-room marketing technology. Additionally, IT professionals will have the opportunity to further their industry knowledge and to network with others via social events. Travel Tech ConOne of the most exciting travel conferences for this upcoming year will be Travel Tech Con, which will be held in San Francisco. Travel Tech Con is specifically geared toward travel industry startups, and the coordinators pride themselves on remaining community-focused and dedicated to technological innovation within the travel industry. Travel Tech Con is an independent conference dedicated to educating and inspiring the entire travel tech community and open doors for startups trying to break into the industry. Much like previous Travel Tech Con events, there will be a pitch competition in which finalists will be selected to win prizes as well as funding. Travel Tech Con will also feature live Twitter streaming of the conference events, regular Facebook updates, and a variety of authoritative speakers from the travel tech industry. Aside from Travel Tech Con, organizers also work year-round to promote travel startups through its Travel Tech Hub. The service provides a way to connect worldwide startup partners in the travel industry, giving startup founders access to mentorship, funding, tips on successful pitching, as well as networking opportunities. Why Attend Travel Tech Conferences?Aside from being fun and informative, there are several reasons to attend trade shows and conferences. For those in the travel business, understanding what’s on the horizon is key to pleasing current and potential customers. Travel tech shows allow participants to discover what innovations competitors are working on as well as to see how their company measures up against others in the industry.
In addition to having the opportunity to meet high-profile individuals, conferences offer attendees the opportunity to sit in on master classes, presentations, and Q&A sessions with travel tech experts. Many conferences even offer professional development opportunities and continuing education credits to enhance or maintain certifications. Networking at travel tech conferences is also a major benefit, and attending one of these conferences can put you in contact with thousands of prominent industry figures. The value of these contacts is immeasurable, and familiarizing yourself with key players fosters connections that cannot be made from the comfort of your office. Technology has infiltrated various aspects of life, but nothing can replace good old-fashioned networking. Artificial intelligence (AI) is much more than what we have seen in movies and television. This sophisticated technology has been used by a variety of industries for decades (often reluctantly). Find out how the travel industry has adapted to the widespread popularity of AI and what it could mean for the future of travel. What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a programmatic system designed to analyze and interpret specific types of inputs (in the form of raw data) and provide outputs that resemble intelligent, or at least reasonable, conclusions. AI is sometimes mentioned along with big data or machine learning—both of which are similar concepts. Software that uses artificial intelligence performs complex tasks that previously required human intervention, but at a much faster rate. How does AI relate to travel?Artificial intelligence was once seen as a threat to the travel industry, but in recent years, the industry has begun to embrace this technology. Instead of fighting against technology that once threated to take travel agents’ jobs, industry insiders are recognizing how AI can positively impact their interactions with customers. One of the best uses of artificial intelligence in the travel industry has to do with its ability to predict travel-related occurrences, such as security threats and weather incidents. GeoSure CEO Michael Becker—who is responsible for developing an AI app—asserts that artificial intelligence has the capability to predict security threats in nearly every major city worldwide. He believes this technology will ultimately help travelers feel safer, which will therefore increase travel industry revenue. In addition to predicting security and other threats, artificial intelligence is also used for narrowing down the best travel deals, identifying optimal times to plan a trip, optimizing itineraries, and providing detailed information about popular travel destinations. Who benefits most from AI?Artificial intelligence is somewhat impractical for analyzing patterns of the average traveler (as it is best for identifying more frequent occurrences), but for those who travel a lot, AI could prove to be very valuable. For instance, business travelers typically travel more often than leisure vacationers, and they usually repeat the same set of activities. Additionally, business travelers are less restricted by travel prices, since their presence in a specific destination is not flexible. This means that if a businessperson needs to be in Tokyo next week, there is no time to wait for a price drop. Artificial intelligence can also help to create a high-quality experience, and surveys have consistently shown that is what business travelers value most. What are the challenges?According to critics, artificial intelligence currently poses a threat to travel agents. However, these threats can be minimized if travel companies use AI to their advantage by, for example, identifying customer patterns in order to provide better customer service. Major companies such as Expedia, Google, and Apple have already begun to develop AI systems to better understand customer behavior. These companies understand how detrimental it would be to ignore AI, and they are forging ahead in development to avoid a major industry disruption.
While many in the travel industry can see the inherent value in artificial intelligence technology, it still hasn’t been totally embraced. Travel agents in particular have been burned by the technology in the past (they have not fully recovered from the way the Internet revolutionized booking travel, essentially allowing consumers to cut them out of the process). According to Trisept Solutions CEO John Ische, travel agents need to prepare for change by working hard to communicate with their customer base in order to gain a deeper understanding of what customers want and value, which will inevitably leader to higher sales in the long run. As long as leisure travelers dominate the travel industry, artificial intelligence will still have its limitations. With this in mind, the use of AI on a large scale is still impractical because the data simply isn’t there. Even with the slow progress of AI, many companies in the travel industry are incorporating AI into their operations. Industry Forecast predicts that 2017 will usher in more use of artificial intelligence, particularly in the form of apps, software, and bots that will augment travel agent functions. As it stands now, AI is still new and its full potential has yet to be tapped. It will be interesting to see how far AI can expand beyond simply analyzing the data of business travelers and deliver more personalized experiences for all consumers. Technology and travel seem to go hand in hand, and as time goes on, products and services that make travel easier or more fun continue to enter the market. Some of these are practical in nature, such as those which make getting through airport security lines less of a hassle, while others take popular vacation activities such as photography and provide a thrilling experience. In the following, we explore some recent travel tech innovations that are sure to gain popularity over the next year, ranging from new mobile apps to a program that offers faster airport security clearance. 1. car2goAvailable in nine US cities, as well as several international locations, car2go is an on-demand car rental service. The idea behind car2go is that travelers frequently want to land in a new city and get going without all the hassle and paperwork of going through a traditional car rental company. car2go works by allowing consumers to pick up a car without a reservation and secure a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes before they actually need it. What’s even more convenient is that Car2Go charges by the minute, so travelers only pay for how long they actually use the car. Additionally, car2go is available for locals who need to use a vehicle on a temporary basis. Unlike typical car sharing services, car2go does not charge for fuel, parking, or any additional fees. The service is perfect for those who do not own a vehicle or only need access to one every once in a while. The car2go app, which allows users to view and pre-select available vehicles, is currently available for both the Android and iPhone. 2. SphereFor travelers who value virtual tours and an immersive photography experience, Sphere (formerly TourWrist) is the ideal app. Sphere allows users to create and submit panoramic photos and videos through its app, which can then be viewed by other users for a virtual reality type of experience spanning hundreds of destinations. The Sphere website explains the photography process in depth and even offers a demonstration video to help users understand how to best use the platform. Along with the video demo, there are detailed instructions on how to create the best 360-degree panoramic photos, adjustments for specific lighting conditions, as well as helpful hints that will ensure high-quality photos and videos. Creating an account on the Sphere site is free. In addition, the Sphere app is available as a free download in the Apple App and Google Play Store. The app has more robust features and even offers an option for hands-free recording. 3. KnowDelayIf you’ve ever had your flight delayed or vacation plans ruined by inclement weather, then KnowDelay will come in handy on your next trip. KnowDelay is touted as the best way to predict travel delays related to the weather. Considering the fact that the US Department of Transportation indicated that more than 20 percent of flights arrive late and that over half of these are related to adverse weather events, KnowDelay could help travelers immensely. KnowDelay states that it has successfully been able to predict 90 percent of weather-related flight delays. Using the KnowDelay app, travelers can be notified up to three days in advance of their trip, giving them time to make alternate plans if necessary. Additionally, KnowDelay can track flights and notify travelers of anticipated delays prior to booking, which not only saves money, but also frustration. 4. CLEARAvailable in 17 US cities, CLEAR offers yet another way to move through airport security lines faster. The service guarantees that passengers will get through security in less than 5 minutes. For less than $15 per month, travelers can sign up for CLEAR, giving them a guaranteed method of getting through the airport even more quickly than travelers who are a part of the TSA PreCheck program. CLEAR is sanctioned by the TSA, as well, and CLEAR members are escorted to special lanes at the airport. During their time in these dedicated lanes, passengers have their identities biometrically verified, either by an iris or fingerprint scan. The addition of CLEAR lanes is yet another method for dealing with increasingly busy airports throughout the country. CLEAR does not verify passengers’ identities with typical background checks, but instead checks passport and driver’s license information, and asks a series of passenger-specific questions. Passengers verified by CLEAR do not need to present their identification. They can simply keep their wallets put away, and CLEAR will identify them by their eyes or fingerprints. CLEAR even provides faster verification for passengers who are already enrolled in the TSA PreCheck program. These are just a few of the exciting technological advancements that will inevitably gain greater popularity in the coming years. For 2017, tech trade shows such as World Travel Market’s WTM London trade show and the Consumer Technology Association’s CES 2017 will undoubtedly add to the already fascinating world of travel tech. Remote work is not tracked by the Census Bureau or any other government agency, but Global Workforce Analytics estimates that half of the US workforce currently holds a position that would be compatible with telecommuting. Additionally, 20 to 25 percent of the workforce already telecommutes works at least some of the time. The study also found that up to 90 percent of the workforce is interested in working remotely on a part-time basis. Many Fortune 1000 companies have seen the benefits of allowing their employees to do this, and more companies are expected to get on board in coming years. A few travel-based remote work organizations are capitalizing on this technological trend and are looking to free employees from simply working from home by providing opportunities to go to work from practically anywhere in the world. Remote YearOne of the first vacation and telework hybrid organizations to come onto the scene is the startup Remote Year. Comprised of groups of 75, Remote Year takes participants to various places around the world who spend a year working, traveling, and discovering international cities. Frequent travelers may be particularly drawn to what Remote Year offers, as participants move to a different city and country each month. Remote Year provides participants with private rooms, transportation, and co-working spaces as well as access to networking. Remote Year participants have visited a multitude of cities all over the world, including Kuala Lumpur, London, Buenos Aries, Mexico City, and a host of other interesting and popular destinations. Those who wish to participate in Remote Year are encouraged to apply early and indicate their preferred destinations, working hours, and times zones. Selected applicants will then be scheduled to meet with an interviewer in order to be matched with the best program available. To participate in the program, Remote Year applicants are required to make a down payment of $5000 and pay an additional $2000 dollars per month for the first 11 months. These payments specifically cover workspaces, living arrangements, and travel. Although each program is predetermined, the small group size makes it easy to make tweaks between the various programs. We Roam We Roam is a working travel opportunity that takes groups of five to 200 remote workers to various destinations all over the globe. Much like Remote Year, We Roam allows professionals to stay in a new city each month while the We Roam staff take care of the various accommodations, workspaces, and travel arrangements included in the trips. We Roam programs last either six or 12 months and have locations in Europe, South America, and Asia. Down payments start at $3000 for the six-month program and $5000 for the 12-month program, and each program has a fixed monthly cost of $2000. According to the We Roam website, the selection process is exclusive and groups tend to be matched based on professional preferences as well as desired destinations. The goal of We Roam is to allow professionals to travel the world without bringing their careers to a halt, and the company works diligently to make the process as smooth as possible. The company works closely with businesses in order to facilitate travel-work arrangements for employees and help business owners discover the multiple benefits of staying competitive in the labor market by offering remote work solutions to their employees. We Roam is currently accepting applications for trips beginning in January 2017. Project GatewayProject Gateway provides four weeks of working travel for entrepreneurs. The Project Gateway program includes access to social events and networking opportunities, and three daily meals are provided in addition to co-working spaces, laundry access, and even spa services.
Programs last for only one month and are limited to one location in Bali. The cost ranges from $2800 to $4350 per month, and this is based on whether your room has double occupancy or is a private room. The Project Gateway website goes into great detail about pricing and what each option includes. Project Gateway has successfully held prior events in Bali and attributes its success to the fact that this is one of the best locations for independent entrepreneurs and business owners. This short program allows these entrepreneurs to immerse themselves in the culture and foster a sense of community. Project Gateway’s network is increasing with each class that completes the program, and its alumni often meet independent of Project Gateway-sponsored events. This allows entrepreneurs to stay connected long after their remote work experience has come to an end. Technology has made nearly everything we do not only easier, but also accessible anywhere with an internet connection. It will be interesting to see how the trend of working while living abroad will continue to develop. If the performance of these remote work programs is any indication, it is likely to become a more widely-accepted phenomenon. Traveling can be exciting and stressful at the same time. Technology has touched nearly every part of our world, and these essential travel apps are a testament to that. From TSA wait time estimates to language translation apps, leisure and business travelers alike will find these travel apps extremely useful for future trips. Travelmath Trip CalculatorOrganizing a trip can be a daunting task, and once you add the trouble of calculating distance and cost, it can be downright annoying.

Hotel Wi-Fi is not always free or may have device limits, and local establishments may require a purchase to access their Wi-Fi networks. However, free Wi-Fi is usually not far away, and Wi-Fi Finder helps traveler find the nearest free Wi-Fi hotspots. The service works in both domestic and international locations, and it’s the perfect way to save money while exploring a new city. Wi-Fi Finder is available in the Google Play store for Android devices. For other operating systems, including iOS and Windows Phone, there are many similar apps available. OptionsAwayEver see a fare or vacation price that’s a great deal, but you’re short on cash or unsure of if you really want to book?
