Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Great strides have been made in automating aspects of driving to improve driver safety and comfort. There are two general categories: crash avoidance systems (CAS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). A CAS provides warnings, such as lane departure warnings, forward collision warnings, and blind spot warnings, to prevent potential crashes. Current research has found that both blind spot-monitoring systems (Cicchino, August 2017a) and rearview cameras (Cicchino, October 2017b) are effective in preventing police-reported lane change crashes regardless of severity. For older adults, rear cameras are cutting crashes 40% for drivers 70 and older, compared to 15% for younger drivers (Cicchino, October 2017b).
