The Latest Cars and What they Offer For Car Safety
Check out the latest in car technology today, which car has which feature, and how they can greatly contribute to its total safety features.
What Lexus Offers…
Lexus introduces the Collision Warning and Preparation technology. Its 2008 Lexus LS will showcase the “Pre-Collision System” or PCS, meaning that the car will be able to detect future impacts. The Lexus car has a radar sensor that is mounted on its front, making it quicker to detect if there is any frontal collision about to happen. The PCS then will tighten the front seat belts, as if on reflex action. It will also give the car’s Brake Assist System a heads-up, so that the car’s anti-lock brakes are well-engaged.
What Audi Prepared…
Audi prepped up its 2008 Audi A8 with the “lane change and blind spot warning systems”. This technology utilizes sensors and an impressive video technology. The Audi Lane Assist works when a driver is outside of traffic lenses, and he or she decides to make a move. The system detects this, warning the driver for “unseen” road objects by vibrating the steering wheel. The Audi Side Assist greatly helps in detecting other vehicles that are coming from the driver’s blind spot. This works by flashing lights on the exterior mirror.
What Volvo Decked Out…
The 2008 Volvo C70 will now be sporting a Park Assist Rear and Park Assist Front technology, which makes it different from the other parking assistance technology that is being offered today. The C70 has a sensor that is mounted onto the front and back bumper which alerts the driver whenever an object is blocking the way. This will be triggered by a “special audio signal”.
What Acura Created…
With its Voice Recognition(TM) Acura Navigation System, the 2008 Acura TL is now able to “give voice” to navigation system as they communicate with the driver. No need for the driver to press the system’s buttons, for he or she can now access it through voice commands, while keeping the focus on the road. By simply pushing the “talk” button, the stated “pre-set phrases” can be activated verbally. For instance, commands like, “find the nearest hospital” or “find the nearest Italian restaurant” will be keyed in on the navigation system. Specific addresses are also advised to be entered, as the Acura Navigation System is sure to find it with its over 1.7 million city and street names.
