High-tech features and advanced driver assistance systems are becoming more readily available, and they have the potential to reduce the rates of crashes, fatalities and injuries on the nation\u2019s roadways.<\/p>\n
Consider, for example, back-up cameras. Approximately 300 people lose their lives and another 18,000 suffer injuries every year due to back-over accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Today, all new cars must be equipped with rear-view cameras. NHTSA believes this simple, but safe, technology has the potential to greatly reduce back-over accidents.<\/p>\n
However, certain technologies such as automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning, to name a few, are not yet standard in all vehicles. Moreover, though they are safety features, research shows that these technologies also present certain risks, including drivers\u00a0ignorance of the limitations of specific technologies.<\/p>\n
It’s a smart idea to review the latest high-tech\u00a0features with your drivers. Make assure they understand the function of each as well as the benefits and the risks. Experts share the following advice to help your drivers maximize the safety benefits:<\/p>\n
Drivers should take the time to read about and physically experience each safety feature in his or her vehicle. It\u2019s important for drivers to know how the technology works, so there are no surprises once they are out on the road.<\/p>\n
Lack of awareness of the key limitations of any given safety feature can actually put a driver at risk. Consider the following research findings from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety:<\/p>\n
Though advanced vehicle technologies can be lifesavers, drivers need to be reminded not to rely on them too heavily. It\u2019s easy to get lazy and fall into bad habits. Remind your drivers of the following:<\/p>\n
Advanced vehicle technologies hold much promise for making driving a safer experience. However, that potential will only be fully realized when drivers understand how to use them, use them as intended, and avoid misusing or becoming over-reliant on them.<\/p>\n
