Driving safety has progressed significantly since the days of the first American cars that offered seatbelts. Thanks to the advanced safety features in modern cars, people can now travel more safely than ever. From collision detection and automatic braking systems to driver monitoring technology, the latest automotive developments are making it easier for drivers to stay secure on their journey.
Even though cars are getting safer, traffic fatalities continue to rise — making it even more important to take automobile welfare seriously. Luckily, innovative car safety features are now available, increasing the luxury and cost of a vehicle, while saving lives.
Although car designs can take shape in a variety of forms, all of them are required to implement certain safety features like seatbelts and airbags. This is to prevent vehicle incidents. In 2020 alone, there were almost 41,000 people who died in a motor vehicle accident. These safety features, among others, reduce the severity of any truck and car accidents you may be involved in. Here are a few reasons why the latest vehicle safety options are important:
Not only do they save lives, but they can also lower the severity of the accident, which means less time in the hospital and lower medical bills.
The safety technology available in cars today is constantly evolving. If you haven’t sought out a new car recently, you might be surprised by the new developments. Here are some advanced protection features currently available or in progress.
One of the newest and most popular features is the overhead 360-degree vision system. With a combination of cameras and sensors, the driver can have a bird’s eye view, which can help them spot potential hazards in their vicinity.
This view can be seen on the infotainment display and can be used to safely reverse out of tight spaces and detect objects that are difficult to see. Additionally, this feature can recognize lane markings and other vehicles on the road, helping drivers stay in their lane and remain alert.
With vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, cars can connect and share knowledge like never before. This revolutionary technology lets drivers stay informed about their surroundings in real-time, providing a smoother and safer ride. It also regularly communicates the current speed and whereabouts to the driver, which could also prove instrumental in avoiding accidents by issuing warnings about impending threats and helping resolve the perplexity surrounding self-driving car crashes.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is a revolutionary driver assistance system that utilizes innovative technology to protect drivers and passengers. Combining radar, sensors, and cameras to detect obstacles, AEB can identify collision risks before they occur by applying the brakes accordingly — thus reducing or even eliminating the severity of an accident.
Overcrowded cities with dense traffic and drivers needing to be extra vigilant can benefit significantly from this technology. Additionally, AEB systems are beneficial when merging into intersections with limited visibility.
Another form of advanced safety technology is the external airbag. Powerful sensors and radar catch when an oncoming car is about to collide with your vehicle or if someone is in trouble of being struck, allowing for quick action that cushions any impact with its reliable shield of protection.
Side impact collisions are very dangerous and cause 23% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths. Having external airbags can help reduce these tragic accidents. Though not currently offered on cars for sale don’t be surprised to see this tech on the road in the near future.
Forward collision warning utilizes radar and cameras to stay one step ahead — detecting potential collisions before they occur. If the situation calls for it, this extraordinary Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will sound off a distress signal giving you time to react accordingly.
Collision warning systems can lower front impacts, which is one of the highest categories of accidents on the road. And if that wasn’t enough, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) can be paired up with the system providing further protection against avoidable wrecks.
Some of the newest safety features detect pedestrians and animals on or near the road. This technology uses radar, cameras, and sensors to see anything in the vehicle’s path and will alert the driver with a warning signal if it senses imminent danger.
With the increase in vehicle size and the resulting decrease in driver visibility, detection systems like this will become more necessary. The result could be a drastic reduction in pedestrian accidents which in 2020 numbered over 6,500 in the United States alone.
Pedestrian injuries from cars can be deadly, and this detection system can decrease these incidents, but if you are unfortunate enough to get injured you will need an auto accident lawyer to help you navigate through this distressing process.
Blind spot warning systems alert drivers when an object is blocking their visibility. With the use of radar, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras, drivers can be alerted of technology hidden from their view. This technology even alerts negligent drivers — providing warning lights when the driver gets too close to other objects. This alone can encourage good driving habits and prevent severe roadside accidents.
Adaptive cruise control is, in some sense, a helpful co-pilot. By using lasers, radar, and cameras to monitor traffic ahead, it can dynamically adjust the speed of your vehicle, so you never have to worry about hitting unsafe speeds or losing track of surrounding drivers. Whether long drives on highways or crowded city streets, this advanced driver assistance system will ensure your ride always feels safe and secure.
Drowsy driving is estimated to result in 6,400 deaths annually, making drowsiness detection systems a vital feature for drivers who work long shifts or drive during the night as it can help them stay alert and safe.
The drowsiness detection systems notice when drivers feel fatigued by detecting the driver’s movements through lane deviation, unusual steering wheel angle, and more. It will then alert the driver with an audible warning signal. This feature can also inform the driver of their drowsiness level in some vehicles with indicators that light up to suggest the driver get some rest. This technology can help lower the alarming number of accidents on the road by sleepy drivers.
Safety exit systems prevent passengers from leaving their vehicles in dangerous situations. This technology uses sensors and cameras to catch when a driver is about to leave their car and onto the path of an oncoming object or traffic. It will automatically lock the doors and deactivate the ignition until it is safe for the driver to exit.
Vehicle safety technology is advancing rapidly — from automated braking systems to alert-based navigation. Drivers everywhere must stay abreast of these innovative developments in car technology. As this technology advances, not only will this usher in a new era of secure travel, but it will also help keep pedestrians safe from accidents when walking or cycling.
