New Car Technologies That Make Driving Safer.

There is a number of new technologies that just hit the market place that makes driving safer. However do they really work? we shall find out.

New cars are coming standard with lane departure warning and rear view cameras. Lane departure warning alerts the driver that a vehicle is in its blind spot, and assist the driver in making a decision to change lanes or not. However often-times the light is not able to be seen in direct sunlight,also it stops certain people from using their mirror which would help detect other objects that might cause a collision.


Overall the technology works,it assists the driver in making a safer decision and prevents certain types of collisions.I would note that drivers should always check their mirrors prior to making a lane change,even if their car comes equipped with lane departure warning.

Rear view cameras come standard on most cars these days and have proven themselves to be very useful in helping to prevent parking lot collisions. But just like with lane departure warning,people sometimes rely totally on the system alone to prevent a collision. While the rear camera is very useful and often comes with radar and multiple sensors,it just cannot compete with looking out the rear windows and checking your mirrors.

So the systems do work and have proven themselves too be very useful.Just remember that due care should always be used I fully support the use of devices to assist in driving however human mindset cannot be predicted.Always use your turn signals and always check your mirrors before turning or reversing.
