Causes of accidents and hazardous situations

As can be seen in the pie chart, the most common cause of an accident is the physiological state of a person (about 36% of cases). The next, oddly enough, is distracted attention and insufficient concentration. People forget that they are driving a piece of metal weighing 3 tons and any mistake can lead to a catastrophic outcome. Recklessness also represents a large proportion. It is worth noting that it is speeding and driving into the oncoming lane that entail the most terrible consequences. It is also worth mentioning other reasons. Such as bad roads or weather conditions.

New technologies for safety

Such statistics have prompted many manufacturers to think about devices in cars and on the roads that can make transportation safer.

Speed limiter

Many companies (for example, Volvo, Tesla, Harman International Industries and others) are engaged in the development of an optimal speed limiter. The device built into the car collects data about the streets and speed limits on them and does not allow the car to accelerate above the specified threshold. It will not allow fans of racing to endanger pedestrians and other road users.

Starling Crossing

The Starling Crossing is a pedestrian crossing, built on today's technology, that puts people first, enabling them to cross safely the way they want to cross, rather than one that tells them.

The Starling Crossing reacts dynamically in real-time to different conditions and is able to modify the patterns, layout, configuration, size and orientation of a pedestrian crossing in order to prioritise pedestrian safety. This development is already being used in the south of London, and if successful, it will spread throughout the country.

Deviation recognition system

Fatigue accumulating imperceptibly due to prolonged driving is one of the frequent causes of accidents. Drivers overestimate their physical capabilities and do not stop in time. It is for such tired driving motorists that the American company Harman International Industries has created a system capable of recognizing and qualifying the symptoms of driver fatigue by their pupils.

The device is a video camera attached to the center of the dashboard, which non-stop monitors the pupils of the person behind the wheel. In addition, it also warns the driver of danger when he is in a state of excessive euphoria or too often distracted from the road. The vigilant system is still undergoing an experimental run-in. But its developers are confident that in the near future it will become an integral part of production cars.

Opponents and dissatisfied

Despite all the conditions created for maximum security, there are still dissatisfied people. They cite various arguments, which for the most part have no weight when it comes to human life. For example, some people believe that the built-in speed limit interferes and creates a great danger. But the statistics say the opposite. There are also people who talk about the uselessness of some systems due to their inaccuracy. However, progress does not stand still. Engineers are working on the optimality of the systems.

Conclusion

Summing up, I would like to say that when talking about cars and their use, first of all we need to think about safety, and not about personal desires and benefits. Unfortunately, in Russia, many people do the opposite. (What is the rejection of the bill to reduce the non-fined speed limit)
