According to safety and industry experts, a new world-first car could potentially cut the road toll by unprecedented levels. The new vehicle is allegedly one-of-a-kind and one of the safest cars in the world.

The new vehicle is jam-packed with myriad high-tech features that can reportedly reduce human errors, cut road carnage, and will soon be in hot demand.

According to the Centre for Road Safety in New South Wales, the long list of safety-savvy equipment include radars, screens, cameras, and breath testing equipment. According to John Wall, the principal RTA analyst, soon, drivers will be demanding these functions.

“There’s no other car like this in Australia – and I’d say it is probably one of the world’s safest cars,” he said.

Manufactured as part of research and testing of new technologies, the car also integrates a radar-detective “pre-collision system” which identifies potentially imminent crash scenarios. The system first warns the driver, and if no reaction is received then the car will automatically slow down. The collision may still ensure, but the reduced speed will profoundly decrease the impact and probably prevent the otherwise imminent fatalities or serious injury.

Ignition is conditional too, due to an inbuilt alcohol interlock system. Put simply, you cannot drive if you are drunk – and not just theoretically – you literally won’t be able to start the car. Of course, you could always get someone else to blow for you, but its still a step in the right direction.

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature is the black-box video setup, which detects and then visually captures crashes and collisions on camera.

Countless other safety features have been integrated too, including adaptive cruise control (which intuitively leaves a three-metre space between the vehicle in front), fatigue and distraction system (driver wears ‘measuring’ glasses, while a dash-situated ‘fatigue’ camera monitors the driver’s eyes, head movement and blink rate). Pretty clever.

“All these features minimise or reduce the probability of you being in a crash,” Mr Wall said.

Essentially, this innovative vehicle steps in when humans make mistakes, aids recovery, and reduces the sometimes-devastating effects of a collision.

The NSW government has publicly asserted its intentions to investigate such features in hopes to further improve road safety.
