When it comes to imagining futuristic civilizations and technologies, the ‘Star Wars’ franchise is second to none. Its rich and expansive universe envisions a galaxy where hyperspace travel, light sabers, and humanoid robots are as common as today’s automobiles.<\/p>\n

While most of the weapons, space vehicles, and other astounding technologies we’ve seen in the beloved saga still firmly remain in the world of science fiction, some have inspired the development of similar innovations in real life.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at the futuristic Star Wars technologies that are predicted to be ubiquitous features in future cars within the next decade or so.<\/p>\n

The Iconic ‘Star Wars’ Holograms<\/h2>\n

It was a hologram message containing the pleas of a young Princess Leia that triggered the chain of events that would make it one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises in history. In the movies, holographic systems made it possible for characters separated by several parsecs to communicate, using a laser beam that creates 3D images out of particles and air. It was also used to project battle plans and maps—a function that we’ll hopefully see in the cars of the future.<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise that some of the more recent modern developments in automotive technology were inspired by the futuristic cars (and other forms of high-tech technology) that we’ve seen in movies.<\/p>\n
