I consider the safety features a very good idea. It may be complicated, cost you more money for the car, and may be expensive to fix but its a small price to pay for the lives of your loved ones or whom ever may be riding in your car with you. Car accidents are capable of killing everyone in the car depending on the magnitude of the impact and what safety features your car may have been quipped with. Something as simple as buckling your seat belt may be the 3 second decision that may save your life. Today, safety features are more common to be seen on cars than to not be. As a driver, i would love to see more and more safety features among the modern and future cars of the car world. I think this way because everyone i know, rides in a car at one point in time and i would want them to be safe. Wouldn't you want the same thing?
After testing cars, Jerry Edgerton says, "' back-over' accidents cause an average of 292 deaths and 18,000 injuries a year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. About 44 per cent of those killed are children under five. This is especially an issue for large vehicles like SUVs, pickups and minivans" (Edgerton). This states just how serious backup accidents really are. In his article, Edgerton also says, "The auto-brake functions that slow vehicles if they sense a car or pedestrian in the path of travel are the most important new safety features, he said. Car-pedestrian accidents especially cause so much personal injury" (Edgerton). People every day are killed just crossing the streets and the auto-braking functions can slow the probability or eliminate it all together over a period of time. Just another safety feature that makes you able to live the life you do while keeping others safe.
