Advanced Vehicle Warning Systems — Protecting You While You Drive

Crash alerts help keep you on the road

New vehicle technologies are growing at an increasing rate, especially when it comes to advanced crash warning systems. These are systems that provide alerts and/or automatic braking in the event of an impending crash.
See also: While many manufacturers use different names for these advanced crash warning systems, we will refer to them in generic form.
