Technology that could keep you safer in your car.Advanced crash-avoidance features are becoming more common and almost expected so that cars are safer with the added safety solutions.
Most computerized features are designed to help prevent or avoid an accident, but they can also help reduce the severity of one by slowing the vehicle before an impact.
Adaptive Cruise Control This uses forward-looking sensor like radar and cameras to monitor the distance to a vehicle. The system will automatically slow the vehicle down in traffic to maintain a safe driving distance without the driver having to brake. In addition, once the traffic speeds up, the vehicle accelerates to maintain preset speed.
Auto Braking Some car systems are able to break automatically to prevent a collision or reduce the impact.
Adaptive Headlights Curving headlights allow the driver to see better as they round a curve. Research has shown that property damage liability claims fell as much as 10 percent when using these advanced headlights.
Backup Camera Any car with a mini screen installed tends to have a backup camera which allows the driver to clearly see behind them while reversing.
Reverse Backup Sensors When there is no camera, the equipment can beep if the driver is about to hit something while backing up.
Side View Assist Sensors can detect a car in your blind spot and alert you with a light in your side mirror, or beep if you put on your turn signal.
Parking Assist An increasing number of models offer a feature that detects the size of a parallel parking space, guides you into the space, and automatically backs into the space.
