NEW YORK, April 1 -- THIS IS A MULTIVU SPECIAL REPORT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS.
IN-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A ROLE IN ENHANCING AUTO SAFETY AND VEHICLE EFFICIENCY, AND AUTOMAKERS CONTINUE WORKING TO MAKE SURE TECHNOLOGY STILL ALLOWS DRIVERS TO KEEP THEIR "EYES ON THE ROAD."
TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY OFFERS GUIDANCE SYSTEMS THAT HELP DRIVERS FOCUS ON THE ROAD AND NOT THEIR MAPS – OR SENDING OUT A SIGNAL FROM THE CAR DURING AN EMERGENCY. EVEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND HEADLIGHTS THAT TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN OR GETS DARK HELPS REDUCE DISTRACTIONS.
DAVE MCCURDY, PRESIDENT, ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS:
"For years automakers have been working to help drivers keep their "eyes-on-the-road" while they drive. Safely using technology is critical because wireless technology will continue to play a unique role in even making autos even safer in the future."
TECHNOLOGY IN THE FUTURE IS EVEN MORE PROMISING - VEHICLES WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH SYSTEMS THAT CAN AUTOMATICALLY INTERVENE TO HELP PREVENT, OR REDUCE DAMAGE FROM, FROM AN IMMINENT CRASH.
