\"avoid<\/a><\/p>\n

Collision- avoidance is advanced technology available on an ever-growing range of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Could you ever have imagined a time in your life when your car would be able to \u201csee\u201d other vehicles or pedestrians? \u00a0This amazing technology is now readily available, and that means many new cars and trucks can now anticipate collisions, and automatically apply the brakes or take corrective steering actions!!<\/p>\n

Some of these capabilities, such as forward-collision warning systems, have been around for a few years, mostly on high-end luxury cars. Others, like steering assist, are just getting added. We are happy to share that collision-avoidance systems\u00a0are getting better and are spreading to mainstream cars.<\/p>\n

Radar, Cameras and Lasers Utilized in Collision\u00a0Avoidance Systems<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

These cutting-edge active safety systems rely on a number of sensors, cameras, lasers, and short- and long-range radar. They monitor what is going on around the vehicle\u2014vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even road signs\u2014as well as the vehicle itself. Inputs are processed by computers, which then prompt some action from the car or the driver. Those actions may start with attention-grabbers, such as a beep, a flashing dashboard icon, a tug from the seatbelt, or a vibration in the seat or steering wheel. If the driver doesn\u2019t respond, the more advanced systems then apply partial or full braking force.\u00a0If a warning system emits too many inappropriate alerts, however, then there is an increasing temptation to switch it off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“In the end, these systems can do a lot of good in preventing crashes from happening in the first place. But it\u2019s still very important for drivers to realize that no matter how much collision-avoidance technology is on your vehicle it never reduces the need to stay alert at all time.” Jon Bergen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
