Nothing can be of more importance than feeling safe when it
comes to vehicles and traffic. It is safety that concerns everyone on the road,
whether you’re driving or been passing by as a pedestrian. That is the reason
why all the automotive brands, especially the leading ones like Chevrolet have
revolutionized their way of building vehicles altogether. With the latest
technological advancements, our outlook towards automotive industry is seeing a
sea change. For this we must thank the dedicated people who brainstormed the
most safest solutions to ensure road safety by categorically analyzing the
feasible procedures. Chevrolet is one such brand where many such novel technologies
emerged, integrated and have been implemented in almost every car that comes
out of its shade.
To know more about these advancements that has taken place
in the safety front of Chevrolet vehicles, we visited the Chevrolet
dealer serving Saint Maries and from them we gathered the following
details.
Front Pedestrian Automatic Braking
Every Chevrolet vehicle that is rolling on the roads today
is equipped with a feature called front pedestrian automatic braking. This is a
system that can directly detect a pedestrian ahead especially when the driver
misses out because of some distraction or low lighting. The system starts
throwing an alert to the driver when a
collision becomes imminent. This happens specially when the driver failed
to apply the brakes. In this situation the system automatically starts applying
the brakes on the behalf of the driver in order to slow down the vehicle or
when necessary bring the vehicle to a complete stop. This in turn first help in
avoiding the collision and n case it becomes unavoidable, reduces the severity
of the collision impact.
Adaptive Cruise Control
This is a feature that uses a forward-looking camera in
order to enhance the effect of regular cruise control. With this system the
cruise control speed gets automatically adapted with the driving situations to
maintain a gap between the vehicle driven and the vehicles driving ahead. The
system can detect all the vehicles around the concerned one and automatically
maintains a healthy distance from them relieving the driver from the arduous
task to frequently apply brake and accelerator, especially when there is heavy
traffic.
Rear and Surround Vision Camera
The entire set of these safety features are based on several
sensors, radars and cameras. Among these the rear and surround vision cameras
play the most vital role in capturing the scenario around the car driven and
inform the driver by relaying them through the infotainment screen.
These cameras alert the driver about any object, obstacle,
other vehicle, pedestrian, children or pedestrians coming near the car, when it
is already moving. With the help of these cameras, the driver gets a bird’s eye
view of the entire driving scenario, especially near the blind spot zone where
the driver’s eye cannot reach.
As we were explained at the Saint
Maries Chevrolet dealer, that it is with the help of these devices that
the latest Chevrolet vehicles are equipped with advanced safety features like Lane
Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward
Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and many more.
