Whatever the model or price of a vehicle, consumers expect seatbelts, airbags, and other crash amenities. So, it could be just a matter of time before automatic emergency breaking systems will be sold as a feature for every new car. A number of major car manufacturers are already pledging to make this a reality, which will force all vehicle manufacturers to follow suit. It would be impossible to remain competitive otherwise. As such, it’s now a nice luxury to have.
The system works by employing lasers and electronic sensors that monitor the space ahead of the host vehicle. If someone breaks in front of you, your vehicle will suddenly decelerate.
But what about the car traveling behind you? It remains to be seen whether this will eventually cause more accidents until all cars are outfitted with the technology. Check it out and you be the judge.
