New technologies are developing at a rapid pace, they are penetrating into all areas of our lives. For example, now it is possible to rent a car in Dubai for residents of any part of the world. And all thanks to the Internet.
Remote booking
Over the past few years, the remote provision of services of a certain kind has become a must for large companies, as it allows you to significantly simplify the life of customers, as well as expand the scope of the firm. In terms of a business such as a luxury car rental Dubai, remote booking has become the most popular service.
What is it? For potential clients, it is an opportunity to:
- Receive comprehensive information about the services of the selected company;
- Execute in advance a preliminary contract for the lease of the car they need;
- To include additional options in the ordered package of services.
And all this while being thousands of miles away from the city they are planning a trip to, and even without leaving home. All they need to do is to visit the company’s website, look at the assortment offered, make a choice, and then fill in the appropriate order form. That’s all. After that, the manager of the company will contact the customer to inform them that the selected car will be waiting in the specified place at a specified time. In this case, the customer may use the same Internet to pay for the rental cost. Whereas in the past this required at least several days, the Internet technology allows this operation to be carried out in a matter of seconds.
Specialized resources
Moreover, new technologies have made it possible to solve the problem of optimal choice. After all, the modern market of services is characterized by a huge number of proposals, which differ in quality and price. It can be difficult for a beginner to navigate this diversity and find out all the car rental tips. But specialized resources are a great help in this matter.
They are sites that accumulate information about all companies operating in a particular area. As a result, a person interested in car rental in Dubai can browse through all existing offers, compare their main parameters and make an optimal choice depending on his/her interests.
Virtualization of car dealerships
Also, the pandemic has led to a decrease in the number of visitors at car dealerships, so innovative companies are changing the process of buying a car, making it easier to choose via the Internet.
Buyers of Volkswagen Australia can visit a virtual showroom where they can see how the car would look in different conditions, open and close the doors, interact with the interior and, of course, make a purchase. Ford has launched a similar AR service, which allows you to explore the new F-150 car in augmented reality: see it inside and outside, assess how it would look in a parking lot near your home.
Developments in delivery technology and electric transportation
Thanks to the growth of e-commerce in 2020, the delivery industry has also begun to grow rapidly. According to a study by the World Economic Forum, the growth in e-commerce demand will increase the number of delivery vehicles in the world’s 100 largest cities by 36% by 2030.
General Motors has launched a new delivery business line, BrightDrop. This is a whole ecosystem of electric transportation, through which companies will be able to reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly. The first customer is FedEx delivery service, which will receive BrightDrop EV600 electric vans in late 2021.
There is other evidence that the market for electric vehicles will grow. For example, in January 2021, the British company Arrival received an order for 10,000 electric vehicles from UPS, and also hopes to receive an $85 million investment from Hyundai to develop production. And in December 2021, the U.S. company Canoo published plans for an “all-electric multi-purpose delivery vehicle,” which is expected to be released in 2023.
Conclusion
Technology affects all areas of our lives and the auto industry is no exception. There is a tendency that even the problems faced by humanity stimulate the development of new inventions. Every year our life is improving and I suggest enjoying it.
