    2020 Automotive Safety Developments That You Might Want To Consider

    Technology develops at a very quick pace. Technological developments tend to greatly influence the design of modern vehicles. This is especially true for safety features. A prime example of this is during the 1970’s, well before when seat belts became standard issue in every succeeding car. These days, it’s even illegal to drive without a seatbelt.

    So, what exactly are the new safety technologies that you might want to keep your eye on the next time you’re buying a new car?

    Internet of Things Connectivity

    One of the tech that’s going to change our lifestyle is the internet of things. The internet of things is going to allow our devices to communicate and interact with each other. Much like seatbelts, in-car wifi is going to transition from being a feature into a standard with every new car purchase. While IOT is not necessarily a safety feature, this is what’s going to pave the way for other safety features on this list.

    Fully-Autonomous Vehicles

    The internet of things is a vital component that would make fully-automated vehicles possible. This is because of the need for these self-driving cars to be able to access real-time information quickly so that they are able to make the necessary adjustments to avoid accidents and to find the quickest route to a destination. The main premise of the fully-autonomous vehicle drive is to eliminate the human error factor in order to avoid accidents. This is especially applicable when a driver becomes too drunk to drive safely, the on-board computer of the vehicle can take over.

    Remote Updates

    Imagine not having to drop by your mechanic’s shop whenever your check engine light goes on, and instead, you simply have your car diagnosed online through information collected through sensors all over your car. Remote updates can also mean that recall and safety information are disseminated in the soonest possible time, straight to your car, which would also mean that there would be fewer dangerous recalled cars on the road.

    Predictive Maintenance

    Modern cars are able to keep track of both mileage and time, and they are able to process heaps of data, which would allow cars to alert drivers of potential issues. These issues can range from faulty brakes, a damaged engine, to a non-functioning taillight. There would no longer be a need for lengthy diagnostics sessions to determine if your car is roadworthy or not. In fact, with these alerts, you could also prolong the longevity of your car when your maintenance regimen is on point.

    Personalized Driving Experience

    Cars will soon be able to detect and store information on the person entering the driver’s door and will also be able to make necessary adjustments to suit that person’s preferences. They will even be able to detect your mood, which would allow cars to alert drivers who are slowly drifting to sleep. This is a simple measure, but one that is effective, especially considering that according to lawyers like the ones from www.michaelgopin.com/car-accident-lawyer, most vehicular accidents are caused by a lapse in alertness.

    While the usefulness of cars cannot be denied, the same rings true for the danger that they pose. It’s only natural for us to find solutions to ensure that our cars are as safe as we can build them to be. So, the next time you’re shopping for a car, you might want to consider these features.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
