Newer Cars Save Lives

NEWER CARS SAVE LIVES Since the creation of the car, automobile manufacturers have progressively sought to make improvements to cars and reduce the chances of traffic accidents. As technology improves, the capabilities of car safety features have moved from the simple disc brakes of the 1950's to the advanced computer assisted braking, night vision and even pedestrian detection systems. 0o 12 CHANCE OF INJURY 2012 80% 2010 CHANCE OF INJURY 1989 1964 General Motors, Ford & Chrysler first offered 1956 seatbelts as optional safety features for new cars to compliment previous developments including safety glass and disc brakes. 1956 The four major US auto manufacturers installed 1964 two front-seat lap belts as standard equipment. Chrysler became the first manufacturer to offer 1989 airbags as standard equipment. The pedestrian detection system is offered as 2010 ption.

As technology continues to evolve, new features such as fiber optic smart head- lights, proximity sensors, infrared object detection, hands-free computer con- trols and weather adapting stability control.
