In-car technology has evolved in great ways in a short time with new innovations being added to your vehicle’s capabilities and standard features. Today, basic safety features like the airbag still play a big part in keeping drivers safe, but there is a whole new set vehicle safety technologies aimed at removing the human-error factor and preventing collisions. Let’s explore how Buick is keeping you safe while you drive:
Collision Avoidance or Warning Systems:
Buick aims to make vehicles safer by reducing driver reaction times in emergency braking situations and, whenever possible, we also aim to remove the need for drivers to react at all. Safety systems and technologies vary between car models and optional features, but the principle is to use cameras or sensors (often laser or radar based) to detect when your vehicle is approaching another vehicle or item too closely or too quickly. The system usually sends audio or visual cues to the driver to warn them of the possible collision so they can react. Additionally, on more advanced vehicles, the on-board computerized safety system is activated and brakes are applied, seat belts pre-tensioned, and windows closed. This technology is perfect for keeping the family safe when the driving conditions can be hazardous and visibility poor.
Blind Zone Alert and Lane Departure Systems:
This technology also uses sensors to warn drivers of objects traveling in blind spots that would otherwise require drivers to remove their eyes from the road. A car hiding in the blind spot of your rearview mirror can be easy to miss and can result in a mistake with terrible consequences. Blind zone alert is an extra set of eyes that won't lose its wits after long drives.

Reverse Cameras with Cross-Traffic Warning Safety Systems:
This technology helps prevent you from reversing out of a parking spot and into oncoming traffic. Audio and visual signals alert drivers of approaching vehicles that will cross their path, giving drivers a chance to stop and avoid a collision. This technology is used to prevent very common and potentially dangerous situation.
We know how important it is for you to feel safe while driving in your new vehicle. For that reason, collision avoidance systems and many other vehicle technologies are incorporated into our models to keep drivers safe. These safety technology advances and innovations are exciting options for those interested in making their vehicles and daily commute safer.
