Travelling at speed has always been dangerous. One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss important road signs or fall asleep。 Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.
Some safety developments aim to improve your vision。 Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology “sees through” big vehicles blocking your view。
