How Driver Assistance Technologies Can Help Prevent New Haven Auto Accidents

According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, a large percentage of crashes are tied to human error. In 2016, 37,461 people died in motor vehicle crashes. Driver assistance technologies not only keep drivers and passengers safe, but they keep other drivers and pedestrians safe, too. Automakers are constantly developing and implementing new technologies.

Automated Emergency Braking Systems

These systems detect when your vehicle is getting too close to another. The system will alert the driver that they are getting too close.

Crash Imminent Braking
These systems detect when your vehicle is getting too close to another. If the driver does not detect it, the brakes will automatically slow and stop to prevent a rear-end collision accident.

Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking
This type of braking technology acts when a pedestrian is in front of the vehicle and the driver has not acted to prevent a pedestrian accident.
