The record of car accidents has been on a steady downhill roll. This all because of the consistent reinvention of the car brake technology. Carnakers come up with their own versions of hyped up car brake systems. But what is important is that they really function for the safety of the car owners. Different technologies such as the Park Assist, and the implementation of sensors to detect other vehicles are among these reinventions. But Mazda has a totally different concept, one that will change the face of what cars ought to be. Mazda aims to produce cars that do not crash—very ambitious, but full of courage as well.

Mazda took its research to the next level in order to come up with their goal. They wanted to focus on building harmonious traffic, before focusing on accidents. For them, measures must be taken to prevent collisions from happening in the first place. This is all according to a release by Mazda. They want to develop both passive safety to avoid the car from crashing, and the safety of the car occupants. Hence, here is what they came up with:

The Human Machine Interface or the HMI support for accurate recognition and assessment. This helps with the assessment of the traffic flow, and the car’s harmonious road relationship with others. They also enhanced support systems for the rear, the blind corner collision prevention system, and even right-turn collision prevention system. These systems will monitor if the vehicle is clear to take its next course of action. This will greatly impede any chances of colliding into another unexpected vehicle.

These developments are mostly to be found on the all-new Mazda Atenza. It comes equipped with some of the monitoring systems, but only on a basic expanse. The more intensive systems will be geared into future production models soon. This is one bold move by Mazda. But since they are likely to execute it properly, hope is not so impossible to hold on to. Especially since after Mazda, all the other carmakers will follow suit. A harmonious, collision-free road is not so far ahead.
