BEST CARS
GENERATION ALPHA : THE ERA OF ELECTRIC MOBILITY As we approach the end of the Generation Alpha era , these young passengers are the safest in automotive history , protected by advanced technologies from day one . By the time they become drivers , the era of the individual combustion engine car will be firmly behind us . “ Gen Alpha is poised to be the most cocooned group of drivers in history ,” John Lewis observes . Their cars will have various cutting-edge features : Advanced Driver Assistance Systems , structural safety enhancements , regenerative braking , instant torque and robust battery safety measures .
“ Standard equipment will include Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems , high-beam assist , traction control , fatigue detection and more airbags than you can count ,” John continues , painting a picture of a driving future where collision avoidance , autopilot capabilities and semi-autonomous driving offer even more layers of protection . It ’ s a world where technology wraps these young passengers in a near-impenetrable bubble of safety .
John vividly describes what ’ s ahead : “ Gen Alpha will witness even greater advancements in their vehicles , becoming part of an EV era that ’ s not just more sustainable but more intuitive , connected and safe .” But the evolution won ’ t stop with the technology inside the cars ; it will extend to how this Generation owns them .
