Smart Cars (but not the little ones by Mercedes!)
The future of cars is going to be driven by software, primarily delivering what is known as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) - intelligent parking (auto parking but also knowing where the spaces are), road trains, anti collision, driver assist allowing you to shave, apply make up, make phone calls etc apparently legally!
As well as information from your immediate surrounding via cameras and radar, Audi's [developers](/disciplines/development0 have programmed ADAS to take a lot of information from the cloud: traffic status, real-time parking data from sensor-equipped smart meters and parking lots, and weather information etc.
