Hopefully, with this increased focus on software, the user experience of all vehicles can become exponentially better in the coming years, making cars and trucks more fun, engaging, and enjoyable than ever before. Further enhancements include incredible virtualizations created by autonomous driving systems or even dramatically improved music streaming integration. The most notable is the dramatically improved phone integrations that have become popular over the past five years.

Outside these video game integrations, automakers are working feverishly to introduce countless other software-based improvements to their vehicles. Perhaps the best indicator is the vast number of people that now use their Tesla vehicles as giant gaming consoles, which could easily be used to run games using the upcoming Unreal Engine in the coming years.

While it will likely be a good amount of time before we see this technology make its way into the vehicles that we drive, there is no doubt that we are closer than ever.
