Cars Have Never Been SAFER. This Is Why.

Safety is one aspect car manufacturers have to serious about, but with the introduction of many technological improvements as standard features, it's important to note just how much safer driving has become.

One such feature that many of us are familiar with by now is blindspot detection on the side mirrors. As Monte Kaehr, a chief engineer at Toyota points out, blind spots on cars in the U.S. are essentially guaranteed due to government-mandated design constraints on the side mirrors. To compensate, manufacturers like Toyota have introduced blindspot detection features that make sure you are always aware if there is a car out of view.

Distracted driving is a main area of concern as well, and features like lane-departure warning can be a huge help. With the aid of a front-facing camera that watches the lines on the road at all time, you'll be alerted as soon as you start to veer off course (and haven't activated the turn signal, to prevent misfires).
