Car accident compensation and ASV-3 vehicles

Car manufacturers are getting on top of car safety features being demanded by motoring groups, road safety organisations and motoring industries across the world.

At the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, Honda showed off its line of ASV-3 vehicles, which have the latest advanced road traffic accident safety technologies. Such vehicles could potentially reduce the number of car accident compensation claims that arise as the result of car crashes.

They include a system that uses cameras and radars to provide drivers with information about approaching vehicles and other obstacles. Sensors exchange position data about cars with the same technology on the road to let the driver know where they are in relation to other cars.

Caution can also be given if cars get too close and there is a risk of a vehicle accident so that appropriate repositioning can occur.

Other safety features give drivers steering and brake assistance. A car's emergency response system with GPS (Global Positioning System) technology helps drivers who experience a road traffic accident to get help.

Honda said it plans to offer all of these safety features in mass production vehicles and so it is thought that fewer car accident compensation claims will be made. Real-time traffic information (RTTI) has already been added to its navigation systems in select 2007 models of cars, including the BMW 6 Series.

The premium feature, free to owners for four years, gives drivers up-to-date road traffic information and dynamic re-routing maps in the case of congestion or car accidents.

The company is providing the service via Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network, amongst other sources of data.

In 2007, a service called Weatherlink will be introduced which will deliver real-time weather information to in-car navigation systems to reduce the number of car accidents and car accident compensation.

Next year, Volvo will sell a new model with a blind spot information system (BLISS), which helps drivers identify another vehicle in the car blind spots.

Other models include a wireless communication system, with a digital display on the dashboard that would indicate when another car was within a quarter of a mile. The icon would change from green to yellow if the car came within cautionary distance.

If it's possible that a collision will occur, the icon will change to red and the seat will begin to vibrate, alerting the driver to stop or change lanes. An automatic braking feature will immediately stop the car, which could prevent car accidents and reduce the amount of car accident compensation claims that are made.

Earlier this year, BMW started selling cars with night vision capabilities so that drivers can see better driving home in the dark.

BMW uses infrared technology with thermal-imaging cameras that can detect human beings, animals and objects in front of the car before they become visible to the human eye in headlights to reduce car accidents and car accident compensation.

The car of the future won't just be more fuel-efficient. It's also likely to help you get where you're trying to go if you're facing dangerous conditions.
