#10 - PARKING ASSISTANT
Parking assistant - An automatic parking system that uses sensors or cameras to assist drivers in parking vehicles
In the past, drivers had to manually park into tight spaces that were tedious and difficult. Nowadays, the prominent invention of park assisters allow drivers to feasibly park their vehicles in parallel or perpendicular parking spaces In the picture - the park assist device guides the vehicle into it’s starting
#9 – REARVIEW CAMERA
Rearview camera - a camera that works with the navigation system to provide a wide-open shot of what's happening behind you to help with parking or hooking up a trailer
Rearview cameras were designed to provide assurance to tentative drivers backing up from a parking spot or driveway
#8 - ADAPTIVE
HEADLIGHTS
Adaptive headlights - innovative headlights that follow the
direction of the vehicle (bending the light as you go around corners) and allow drivers to see objects as far as 1000 feet away at night
adaptive headlights are speed-sensitive (changing beam length or height) and don’t glare drivers in preceding vehicles
#7 – AUTONOMOUS BRAKING
SYSTEM
An autonomous braking system detects an oncoming collision and applies additional brake pressure to help shorten the stopping distance of a vehicle
It may also work in conjunction with the cruise control or stability control system in certain vehicles
#6 – DUAL STAGE AIRBAGS
Dual stage airbags – An occupant-sensitive technological innovation which can sense the size and weight of the person as well as their position and whether they are using their seatbelt o
these airbags are more safer than the conventional airbags that may unintentionally harm victims through suffocation #5 – ROLLOVER
PROTECTION SYSTEM
Rollover protection system – a system that senses a potential rollover (such as if you whip around a corner too fast or swerve sharply), and will apply the
