Simple and effective automotive technology that can save lives

Let’s face it. Safety is boring. It may save lives, but it’s not exactly exciting to read about. To be frank, even though I am a motoring journalist and I do give an emphasis on safety features in a car during evaluation, it still is not too terribly enjoyable to dwell on. But we all agree on the fact that it is extremely important and absolutely vital.

Why then don’t we get cars with the full panoply of both active and passive safety equipment? One, cost is really a big constraint, and two, in our country, we don’t have adequate laws governing what safety equipment a car should feature, other than seatbelts… and er, headlamp level adjusters. These are the two main reasons why car manufacturers can get away with not giving us active safety features that are compulsory in the same models sold abroad.
