Car makers continue to add advanced safety features to newer automobiles that are aimed at protecting us from getting into a car crash. These elements of newly introduced safety features can help protect you from a Connecticut auto accident and keep you and your loved ones safe.
When you’re shopping for a new vehicle what are the newest safety features you should be looking for in a vehicle?
-
Forward Collision Warning: This feature utilizes sensors and cameras to scan the road ahead and notify the driver of a potential hazard ahead.
-
Emergency Braking Systems: When paired with the forward collision warning sensors and cameras this system will act if the driver does not act when notified of an impending crash.
-
Rain Sensors: These sensors measure how much rain is falling and adjust the windshield wiper speeds accordingly. Maintaining a clear windshield in the event of a rain storm is one critical way to avoid getting into a Connecticut auto accident.
-
Lane Keep Assist: Again, utilizing sensors strategically placed around the car can be aware of the road around it to alert the driver if they are straying out of the lane and in some vehicles this functionality can even take over driving for the driver and ensure that the vehicle stays in its lane.
While the promise of self driving cars seems futuristic, many of these advanced safety features are working towards that goal today. Modern cars can help keep you safe in the event that there is human error taking place in or around the car.
