Technology is increasingly helping the driver stay safe on the road. The cars recognize signs and warn of speeding, report cars in the blind spot, and even automatically adjust their speed to maintain a safe distance between cars.

 Increasingly, new vehicles are being fitted with systems that nevertheless perform some of the speed control functions for the driver. These include, for example, ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control - active cruise control), which automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a sufficient distance between cars, and AEBS (Active Emergency Braking System), which can activate braking to avoid collisions.
