Three Futuristic Car Gadgets Anyone Will Love

Everyone loves toys, even if your Tonka Truck days are long behind you. Luckily, many car companies have recognized this latent love of toys in their customers - calling them "gadgets" instead to seem more grown-up. No need to be ashamed! Here is some car shopping advice on three futuristic gadgets that will make you feel like a kid and your car feel like a spaceship.

Keyless drive systems
Expanding on the remote locking/unlocking system, keyless drive systems can start your car with the push of a button - perfect for warming up the car on a cold morning. And according to AskMen.com, Volvo now has a Personal Car Communicator system built into the keyless system that can monitor a beating heart in your car and warn you of a lurking attacker.

Night vision
Car companies have been looking for ways to make night driving safer since the invention of the automobile. Now here it is: night vision. BMW now offers an infrared camera that can provide high-quality images of any hidden objects in your path.

Self-parking cars
Let's face it, not everyone can pull off a flawless parallel park. Several manufactuers now offer optional self-parking systems. The car's on-board computer takes over steering duties while the driver maintains control of the gas. The same technology will one-day be used for safe, self-driving cars - though many people may be reluctant to give up total control. Where's the fun in that?
