1. Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a safety feature that uses sensors and radar to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It automatically adjusts the speed of the CUV to match the flow of traffic, reducing the need for constant manual braking and accelerating. This feature is especially useful on long highway drives, as it helps prevent rear-end collisions by maintaining a safe following distance. It can also reduce driver fatigue and make driving more comfortable.
2. Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning is a safety feature that alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without using the turn signal. It uses cameras or sensors to monitor the lane markings, and if it detects the CUV crossing the lane without signaling, it will issue a warning - such as an audible alert or vibration. This feature is designed to prevent accidents caused by unintentional lane drifting. It helps to keep the CUV within the lanes and reduces the risk of side-impact collisions.
3. Blind Spot Detection
Blind Spot Detection is a safety feature that uses sensors to monitor the areas alongside and behind the CUV. It can detect other vehicles in the driver's blind spots and provide warning indicators, such as visual alerts on the side mirrors or audible alerts, if the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is in the blind spot. This feature helps to prevent accidents caused by the driver not seeing vehicles in the blind spots. It enhances overall visibility and increases safety when changing lanes or merging.
4. Forward Collision Warning
Forward Collision Warning is a safety feature that uses sensors to detect the distance between the CUV and the vehicle ahead. If it senses a potential collision, it will alert the driver with visual or audible warnings. Some systems may even automatically apply the brakes or engage the pre-collision braking system to mitigate the impact. This feature helps to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions by warning the driver of an imminent collision and giving them time to react. It can also lessen the severity of the impact if a collision does occur.
