Car manufacturers are adding the latest and greatest in safety and driver assistance technology that help drivers stay safer on the road. If you’re looking for a new car for yourself or your family, you’re probably looking at the list of safety features and wondering which are must-haves. It’s well-known that a vehicle should have a well-constructed body with crumple zones and airbags, but what about other features? These are some of the most-requested features here at Carnamic, and we think you’ll love them in your next vehicle, too.

Most Wanted Safety Features
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
We’ve all found ourselves in the same situation: in a cramped parking lot sandwiched between two tall vehicles, unable to see if another shopper or driver is about to cross behind. Rear cross traffic alert applies to vehicles crossing your path when your vehicle is in reverse, and some vehicles can warn you of pedestrians or other objects.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Stop-and-go traffic is far less stressful with adaptive cruise control, a feature that automatically accelerates or applies brakes to keep you a consistent distance from the vehicle in front of you. It also comes in handy during long drives on the highway, allowing you to focus on the road instead of maintaining a safe distance.
Blind Spot Monitor
Traveling in multiple lanes of traffic can be hard to manage, but with blind spot monitoring and warning, you can keep track of surrounding vehicles’ positions. Most vehicles have a light indicator on the side mirror to let you know when a vehicle is in your blind spot so you can safely change lanes once it’s passed.
Cameras and Monitors
Whether it’s a rear back-up camera or 360° monitor, a second set of eyes is always helpful. For example, Hyundai’s SmartSense gives a birds-eye view of your vehicle, and Mitsubishi’s Multi-View Camera System has several wide-angle views of your vehicle’s exterior surroundings.
Automatic Emergency Braking
You can’t always predict what surrounding vehicles are going to do. With Automatic Emergency Braking, you can avoid a collision with help from your vehicle. It can detect a sudden stop or other object ahead and apply the brakes for you.
