Some of the greatest advances in automotive technology have been in the area of safety. The goal now is to not only prevent deaths or even injury to vehicle occupants and road users, but to prevent any collision at all.
Sadly, safety technology fitment varies by region, and the calls are growing louder for global OEMs to deliver vehicles in emerging markets that are as safe as those they sell in North America, Europe and Japan.
This issue of Megatrends magazine – the Safety Issue – focuses on the shift from human-driven cars to technologically-assisted driving, with semi and fully autonomous cars using the same technology that was developed to mitigate collisions in the first place.
