New Auto Safety Mechanisms Could Save Thousands Of lives

[MooseOfReason]

Or it could give people a false sense of security and they won't be as careful when they're driving.

But government programs never have unintended consequences, right?

[whoo689]

Why is the car insurance industry the only industry responsible enough to have an institute for safety and finding ways to lower costs and whatnot?? Shouldn't ALL insurance industries, esp. health insurance, have some kind of group like that to study and figure out ways to keep costs low for themselves and consumers? Seems a little irresponsible not to.

so basically this new technology if for women right? =P

[xeroone1]

Haven't BMW & Mercedes been using this technology for some time? This is nothing new. Adaptive head lights have been available in BMW's for the last 5 years at least.

It's about time American manufacturers caught up.

Saving STUPID people. That's what it comes down to.

Yet another ridiculous comment by you.

Learn to drive asshole!!!

If you see someone on your ass, get the fuck out of the way!! I'm trying to get to where I want to go.

[ZankDigiTrash]

totally learn to drive and pay attention

and that beeping features will probably make some kids to challenge it to seehow long you let it beep till you hit the brakes!!! then we'll have more accidents

but that blind spot helps alot for larger vehicles that actually need them but then I always avoid driving in blind spots of others so your point is still valid :)

No escaping the cops if they are infront of you....

[ash04540]

can't people drive any more? most accidents are caused by people not concentrating. so why not take people further away from the driving experience? Also Cars are lethal weapons and when people get in one they need to remember that but it is getting harder to do that as you are surrounded by 'safety'. I like the lights that turn, but these have already been out for years.

Look up the saltwater engine or burning saltwater. That is what we really need.

More Gadgets = More Cost = More shit that breaks = More Cost... end point.. May save a shitty drivers life, but for the cost and where I live unless it can scan hills 100yds ahead for animals in the dark I'll go without.. pesky deer lol

[eiffuy]

Maybe we should rfid all the deer everywhere so that we can have a database of where the deer are at all times!!?
