Will smart cars prevent car accidents and make driving safer?

The new smart cars on the market will theoretically make driving safer and prevent car accidents. The technology on board is even foreseen to be so sophisticated that sensors will be able to tell when a driver is falling asleep and wake him up and "predict" car accidents before they happen.

Alerts about possible collisions and cars that automatically manage the brakes on your car if it is in danger of skidding out of control or take control of the steering are just a few of the gadgetry features being proposed. Windshields could light up and display last-minute warning information to prevent car accidents from taking place.

Futuristic features make headlights peer around corners
Car features could start doing things they've never done before such as peering around corners to get a view of other oncoming vehicles or receiving information by satellite about road traffic accidents and the speed of other vehicles.

There are speculations that too much electronic information could confuse and distract drivers, especially if they do not have enough time to react to the information they're being given. Whether they will prevent car accidents or create them is the hot topic for discussion. It is even reasonable to speculate that in the future, manufacturers of these gadgets may become the subjects of personal injury compensation claims.

Voice activated controls are another gadget that could be introduced for car controls and in-built features like radios and satellite navigation systems. Most of these snazzy features are reserved for upper-grade models of luxury cars that are out of most people's pocket. But prices may fall and over the next five to ten years cruise control and car accident avoidance systems may become standard.
