After the Supreme Court of India rejected a petition to postpone the JEE (Mains) and NEET-UG examinations, hundreds of thousands of students have been forced to miss the exams and will have to wait a whole year to get another chance. The main reason that so many students did not take the exams is the lack of transport to take them to the examination centres, a problem that the minority that own cars did not face. If you’ve been on the fence about whether or not to get a car as a student, the events of the past week show clearly why it’s a good idea. But, with so many options available, choosing the right one is vital, especially when it comes to safety.  Whether you are buying or renting one, here’s why a connected car is your best bet.

Advanced driver assistance systems

Connected vehicles have revolutionised automotive safety by enabling advanced driver assistance systems such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane-keeping assist. Using a combination of cameras and sensors, connected cars can monitor the roads and alert you of potential hazards. In some cases, these systems can take control of the vehicle to help you avoid getting into an accident. With more research and widespread testing, advanced driver assistance systems will become the foundation for full self-driving technology, where vehicles will be able to get from point A to B without human drivers.

Enabling predictive maintenance

A car breakdown can be dangerous, especially if it happens unexpectedly or when you keep driving without realising that your car has defective parts. In the past, people used to wait for cars to get damaged so they could fix them, but thanks to connected car technology, you can learn about a potential breakdown long before it happens. Connected cars can monitor diagnostic trouble codes, engine temperature, car vibrations, odometer readings, and other parameters to predict a looming breakdown, allowing you to fix it before it puts you in a dangerous situation. On top of that, a connected car can run diagnostics on itself when there’s a breakdown and notify you of the exact problem and what to do about it. For example, even if you don’t know much about cars, getting the p0101 Code indicates that you could have intact tract leaks, vacuum leaks, or faulty MAF sensor wiring.

Collecting safety information

Connected vehicles are always collecting safety-related data that can come in handy when you’re behind the wheel. For example, a connected car can give you real-time traffic updates and crash data, helping you know which roads to avoid. When you’re driving on unfamiliar roads, a connected car can warn you about upcoming hazards such as sharp bends and areas with poor visibility, allowing you to slow down in time. Using this data, you can make much better and safer driving decisions.

The automotive industry is currently going through a massive shift, and connected car technology is at the heart of it. If you’re lucky enough to own a car as a student, you’d better make it a connected car if you are looking for a fun, modern and safe driving experience.
