It did surprise me that younger generations (ages 21-38) were not so much a fan of being able to connect their smartphones to their automobiles. Especially considering the fact that cellphones nowadays are a very popular (almost addiction-like) form of technology among the younger generations. I think my generation would probably like this a lot. Personally I would like this because I could access all my music easier and play it in the car. Other people in my generation may have different opinions but I am sure they'd be a pretty big fan of this as well. Since our early-2000's generation is so connected these days - and are always on our phones I'll admit - this may greatly be of many of our interests. It can be very beneficial too, because instead of looking down at your phone and taking your eyes off of the road - everything can be accessed at a higher level or by someone else you're driving with so that you can focus. Also, your music is accessed quicker & easier, and you can just play one of your playlists rather than clicking through the radio stations or skipping through the CD's/tapes.
In my opinion the other helpful technologies that were mentioned in this article could be beneficial as well. Anything that helps the driver and/or that could help us have less accidents on the road is always a good thing. But, you can still never be too careful.
Considering my family for example, when it comes to automobile technologies, they aren't really a fan & would prefer the older-styled type of vehicle. To the older generations in my family, this would not be helpful because they are not a fan of technology or are quite sure how to use it. The younger generations on the other hand, such as my siblings and I, would go crazy over this. I think that it's really cool. My friends probably would too, since we are all internet-babies and were brought up with all of these types of things. I wouldn't say that it's the most important thing in the world to have these in your car, but it is very helpful.
When purchasing my own car someday, I don't think it would matter if I had those features or not. They're cool but can be extremely expensive in cars. But, if it were an option & I had the money, I'd want to get a car that did have some form of technology where I could hook my phone up and play music and that would benefit me to not get into accidents or to get distracted. This would be important to me b/c it would be a safe option for me and others on the road - not saying I would ever text and drive - but people do tend to get very unfocused on the road, and should look into this. I think the new technologies they're coming up with could have a very positive impact on our generation.
