5 safety technologies needed in new cars

1. Active cruise control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a safety technology upgraded from Cruise Control - speed control feature.

Not only does it allow the driver to control the vehicle's speed as desired, this technology also automatically reduces the speed when it detects an obstacle ahead. The technology works through sensors and radar systems integrated inside the front grille of the car to determine distance and obstacles.

In case of detecting an incident or the driver braking suddenly, this technology will automatically cause the car to gradually reduce speed to a safe distance.

2. Automatic emergency braking

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is one of the most popular safety technologies equipped on today's most popular car models. This technology operates based on sensors and surveillance cameras.

If the driver does not detect an unexpected situation ahead, this technology will automatically detect and apply emergency braking to avoid a collision. The automatic emergency braking system will be activated.

3. Blind spot warning

Blind Spot Detection - one of the most essential safety technologies today. This system uses sensors integrated into the vehicle to detect other vehicles in the blind spot area that the driver cannot see through the rearview mirror.

In case another vehicle is detected trying to overtake you, the system will transmit a warning signal with an orange signal light on the rearview mirror.

4. Rear view camera

Rear view camera - the most popular safety technology in use today.

The driver can observe the rear of the vehicle when reversing through a wide-angle lens that helps the driver observe up to 180 degrees behind the vehicle. This technology helps minimize collisions or unnecessary accidents with objects behind the vehicle that the driver cannot see.

5. Lane change warning and lane keeping assist

Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep - safety technology that helps the vehicle to move stably and not deviate from the lane while moving.

Lane change warning system/lane keeping assist system works based on sensors, surveillance cameras mounted on the front of the car...In case the system detects the vehicle is drifting out of its lane, it will give a warning to the driver.

If the driver makes no move to steer the vehicle back into the lane, the lane keeping assist system automatically takes control of the steering wheel.However, on roads without lane markings or with blurred lanes, the system will not work or will work unstable.
