Today’s cars are more than simply vehicles that transport us from one place to another; they are also becoming safer, more intelligent, and more interconnected than before. The newest automobile technology is revolutionizing how we drive, remain safe, and even maintain our cars, whether we’re weekend travelers or daily commuters.
We at Carcility are passionate about automobiles in general and the advancements that make driving more pleasurable and easier. Let’s take a little tour of some of the most innovative automotive technology that you may already be witnessing or will soon see on the road.

1. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Intelligence and safety come together! Many automobiles now come equipped with ADAS capabilities including automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance. By using cameras and sensors to keep an eye on your surroundings, these technologies help you prevent crashes and make every drive a bit safer.

2. Electric and Hybrid Powertrains

Electric vehicles (EVs) are the way of the future, not just a fad. EV technology is developing quickly, from greater battery ranges to quicker charging times. Even hybrid vehicles now have improved fuel efficiency and smoother performance, making them ideal for drivers in the UAE and elsewhere who care about the environment.

3. Connected Car Technology

Have you ever wanted your phone to be able to communicate with your car? It can now! With only a few touches, connected automobile technology allows you to find your car, check tire pressure, and start your engine remotely. Certain cars even have real-time diagnostics, which notify you of maintenance requirements before issues arise.

4. AI and Voice Assistance

“Hey, car, come get me!” It sounds futuristic, doesn’t it? However, voice assistants driven by AI are already making driving more engaging and hands-free. Voice commands allow drivers to experience optimum convenience while maintaining concentration on the road, from climate control to navigation.

5. Augmented Reality Dashboards

A high-tech facelift is being applied to traditional dashboards. Drivers may view important information without taking their eyes off the road thanks to augmented reality (AR), which projects speed limits, hazard alerts, and navigation directions straight onto the windshield.

While owning a car, there are some extremely important things that we have to remember and always pay heed to. Like the airbags in the vehicle, the wiring, and of course, the fluids that are present in your car. One of the important fluids among these is the washer fluids. Washer fluid AKA windshield wiper fluids are brightly colored and made of methanol. In simple words, this is a fluid or liquid that is used to clean the windshields of a vehicle when it is being driven.

What is washer fluid composed of?

As mentioned before, windshield washer fluid contains a dangerous chemical substance which is methanol. Sometimes, the composition can also contain very small quantities of other chemicals as well. However, one should always keep the fluid away from children and pets. If ingested, even in small quantities, it can prove to be fatal. Although it looks harmless, it can lead to permanent blindness, coma, or even death. 

Let us address a common question related to the washer fluid, Can we use water instead of washer fluid? Yes! water can be used instead of washer fluid for small time periods. Since desperate times call for desperate measures, if you find yourself without any windshield washer fluids, you can use water. But this trick cannot be used when you are out for long drives. 

How is washer fluid applied?

All of us are familiar with the handle/lever that turns on the wiper. The same lever shall be pulled up for the washer fluid to be sprayed across the windshield. This is done with the help of a motor and a windshield washer assembly. If you find that the wiper doesn’t have enough fluid to clean your windshield, it means that it’s time for you to fill the washer fluid. Open up the hood of your engine. There, along with the holders for many other fluids, you will also find the washer fluid reservoir. The reservoir will usually be a white or translucent container with a cap that will have a windshield or water symbol. Remove this cap and check the level of fluid in the reservoir. If it’s less than the desired level, fill it carefully until it reaches the top. After it is filled, close the container and then close the hood. It’s as simple as that!

The benefits of washer fluid

• Even though the washer fluid is expensive compared to its alternative, really good washer fluid will have solvents that dissolve the dirt and grim in your windshield. Water will not do that trick for you.
• During winters, water becomes a host environment for some bacteria and mold that can eventually become a health risk for you and the car’s passengers.
• No matter what the temperature is, the washer fluid will never lead to burst pipes and cracks. It has some antifreeze elements in them that helps them to adapt to the climate of the surroundings.

If you believe that it is time to top up your washer fluid, you can always book your service at Carcility. Or better yet, they give a free wiper washer fluid top-up with every car service you take. Furthermore, it is good to have knowledge about the technicalities of the vehicles that you own. Isn’t it?
