As millions of cars are under recall for potentially lethal air
bags, designers are trying to reduce the need for the device – using sensors,
radar, cameras and lasers to prevent collisions in the first place.
With driver error blamed for over 90 percent of road accidents, the thinking
is it would be better to have them do less of the driving. The U.S.-based
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that forward-collision warning
systems cut vehicle-to-vehicle crashes by 7 percent – not a quantum leap, but a
potential life saver. Nearly 31,000 people died in car accidents in 2012 in the
United States alone.
