Auto Development Comes With Auto Safety Despite Increasing Fuel Price

Although manufacturers are facing soaring gas prices, the automotive industry remains a priority for the safety of fast race to which brand is best in terms of fuel economy.
industry, a new 'pre-crash' safety technologies target the key milliseconds before a crash or help drivers to avoid the drop in the first place, according to an Associated Press report.
On the other hand, according to research by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), gas prices are bound to reach more than $ 4 a gallon by 2015 and more than 5 gallons to the U.S. auto 2020.Industrija long opposed it, according to academic research published earlier this week, but it seems inevitable now.
UMTRI said it surveyed more than 100 powertrain experts, including leaders from across North America for the report.
"There is consensus that fuel economy and emissions regulations will not only continue but increase significantly over the next decade," said UMTRI researcher Bruce Belzowski in a statement.
Rising fuel prices last year prompted U.S. consumers to move away from the large fuel guzzling sports utility vehicles less fuel-efficient cars and crossover vehicles.

"This study shows that, although manufacturers are developing alternative power trains, they can not act quickly enough to meet the challenges imposed on them by government regulations or by potential dramatic increase in fuel prices," Walter McManus, director of UMTRI automotive analysis division, said.
However, despite these economic difficulties caused endless turmoil of the Middle East, auto industry still manages to keep what they have done since then, to serve customers with innovative systems, now with certainty.
technology in the development are as follows:
  • Nissan develops bracelets will be given to children that relay signals vehicles in the area. Drivers passing through are told, "Children nearby, please be careful ."
  • Volvo XC60 crossover concept with a proven radar system that monitors vehicles about 20 feet in front of the car. When a collision is likely to happen, the technology helps the driver avoid a collision from behind the car automatically applies the brakes.
  • Mercedes-Benz already offers advanced security features, such as long-and short-range radar to avoid falling down automatically brakes if the driver fails to stop in time. She has also developed a feature called 'Night View Assist, "which uses infrared beams to detect roadway obstructions far beyond the headlights' reach and transmits images to the dashboard.
  • General Motors in the development of vehicles and vehicle technology, which helps vehicles communicate with other vehicles up to a quarter mile away to warn each other of dangerous conditions.
  • Ford has experimented using four-point safety belts, etc. used by race drivers, and inflatable seat belts. These belts are a small airbags that deploy in an accident.
However, company officials say progress is still being evaluated.
