IN the context of increasingly connected and intelligent cars, air-conditioning systems are also getting an overhaul.
Manufacturers are working on innovative functions, such as the ability to adapt to sunlight, or to trigger climate control as soon as the driver approaches the vehicle.
Volkswagen is at the forefront of these new technologies, which will be introduced in its electric sedan, the ID.7, due later this year.
The first innovation is that the air conditioning can be activated even before the driver and passengers enter the car.
As soon as the car's key is detected nearby, the system can start to heat or cool the car, depending on the outdoor conditions.
Then, it can choose to distribute air over a large area in the car or aim the air at parts of the body.
In addition, this air-conditioning system will take into account the level of sunlight.
A sensor near the windshield will detect the angle of the sun's rays.
This means that if one side of the car is getting more heat than the other, the air-conditioning system will adapt and modify the air flow. –ETX Daily Up
