The Future of Vehicle Safety

The Future of Vehicle Safety
2
The Future of the vehicle safety appears to be
one of the biggest concerns for both consumers
and the automotive industry.
3
In todays technological world, the best
advancement coming down the line is that the
automotive industry is constantly developing new
technologies for safety.
4
These technologies offer many of benefits such
as saving lives, reducing crashes, decreasing
congestion, minimizing fuel consumption, and to
prevent multitasking for the unpredictable and
unreliable human driver.

Safety Technologies That Improves Vehicle Safety
6
The automotive industry and the U.
7
S government are focusing on researching
technology that would enable all future vehicles
to communicate with each other to warn them of
their surroundings and avoid future accidents.
8
The developing technology is called Vehicle-to
Vehicle (V2V).
9
This V2V technology is being tested by major
automotive makers such as Ford to help reduce
traffic accidents on the road.
10
Imagine a driver was in rush and ran a red
light, the oncoming traffics doesnt see them at
first, but V2V sent out signal from other vehicle
directly in its path, and it warns you of the
potential collision and crash from happening.
11
Another interesting technology for vehicle safety
that automotive industry is currently developing
is called augmented reality dashboards.
12
Image the GPS and other in car displays that get
us from point A to point B, some luxury, and high
end vehicles have their displays built and are
projected on the windshield.
13
Future vehicles will be able to display all
external objects and list all the information
about them right on the windshield.
14
The augmented reality dashboards are connected
to the GPS system to warn the driver of nearby
hazardous conditions and potential collisions.
15
It also could detect various animals coming to
the road, and help prevent accidents from
happening.
16
Vehicle Safety - Airbags
17
Since airbags has been developed, it has
continued to make their way around the inside of
many vehicles.
18
Vehicles now have curtain airbags, side airbags,
knee airbags, seat belts airbags, and even one
that deploys underneath the seat.
19
This improves the vehicle safety of many newer
cars and trucks.
20
Now Mercedes-Benz is developing a new way of
vehicle safety measures that makes it a part of
an active safety system.
21
Mercedes is experimenting with air bags that can
help stop cars, which It will deploy underneath
of the car to stop the car in time before a crash.
22
A sensor will determine that the impact is
inevitable.
23
The airbag has a friction coating, which
increases the vehicles stopping power.
24
Also the airbag will lift the car eight
centimeters, which it will counter the vehicles
dipping motion during hard braking, and improves
direct impact and helps prevent the passenger
from sliding under the seatbelt.
25
There have been many improvements to vehicle
technology over the years as car manufactures
implement these new changes.
26
These improvements have come a long way to
enhance vehicle safety for drivers and passengers.
