\u201cTechnology\u201d is the new buzzword that has permeated every sphere of our lives. Whether it\u2019s our kitchens or the giant garages of the automobile industry, technology has changed the way we think, interact and travel. Singapore is one of those countries that has seen great progress in both public and personal transport systems after the tech-hike of the 1990\u2019s. Let CarSwitch.com know if by the end of this article you would like to buy a top-tech used cars for sale<\/a> because we have a feeling you will!<\/p>\n

The rise of tech-savviness in transport<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The \u201cride-cheaply\u201d E-Z link card<\/strong><\/p>\n

People in Singapore don’t have to wait in those painful, dead-end lines at the bus stations to get their bus fare tickets! Here, travelling publicly has become somewhat easier due to the introduction of a contactless payment mode called E-Z link card!<\/p>\n

The E-Z link card is a contactless, value stored card that is used for travelling on the MRT (mass rail transit), buses and the LRT (light rail transit). Introduced in 2002, the card takes 0.2 seconds to swipe ! This revolutionary innovation has made travelling not just more convenient but also faster and smoother! Maybe an apt-er name for the card could be \u201cNeed for Speed\u201d card!<\/p>\n

Online-car services: Uber is Uber easy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The
Ride-hailing apps have become the norm!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Grab have changed the way we travel in a significantly positive way. Getting a ride-service that is just one click away is the most convenient way to travel. And not just that! Ease of payment, frequent promo codes makes ride-hailing apps a win-win for both parties! From Dubai to Singapore, ride-hailing apps have now become the norm.<\/p>\n

From Fossil to Faraday?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The change from fossil fuel powered cars to hybrid and electric cars have made the evolution in car technology stand out even more! From automatic braking to voice control to autonomous parking, none of it would have been possible without the aid of technology. Looking at these amazing advancements all we can say is that the future of transport looks great!<\/p>\n

Did you just say a Driverless car?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The
Blueprints for autonomous cars are under way!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The growth of autonomy is one of the biggest changes seen in the car industry. From Audi\u2019s self driving cars<\/a> to the General Motors autonomous model, Cruise AV <\/a>manufacturers are still trying to fish out a workable blueprint for an autonomous model. These vehicles have been in the \u201clab\u201d for some time and really haven\u2019t taken to the roads as of yet. But we are positive that the rudimentary designs will definitely pave the way for an autonomous revolution in the near future, hopefully!<\/p>\n

Testing the waters!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Autoriders
The shuttle-like Autorider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2015, after much buzz about self-driving cars, autoriders<\/strong> were introduced by Gardens of the Bay. The completely electric vehicles could stuff upto 10 people. The cars were introduced by Ministry of Transport (MOT) of Singapore for a two-year trial period. Well, looks like the period is up! Who knows, these boxy, shuttles might make us yell, \u201clook ma, no hands\u201d, soon enough!<\/p>\n

\"Autonomous
Autonomous car service!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s not just autorider that is driving around without \u201chuman supervision! Nutonomy<\/strong> is an autonomous taxi service that was introduced in Singapore in 2016. The service works just like any other online car service and will be introduced nationally by the second half of 2018!<\/p>\n

Oh, our car hearts and motor heads are singing in ecstasy at all the promising \u201ccarspects\u201d out there. Even though, it seems that it will be a while before fully functional autonomous vehicles hit the roads, the developing technologies look incredibly hopeful!<\/p>\n

Until that happens, we have some good news for you gearheads out there. If you are looking to buy a used car for sale, have a look at these top used cars for sale in Dubai<\/a>. There are many new technologies in the preparation stage that car lovers and tech geeks alike should look forward to!
