But many new devices are proving otherwise. Automobile manufacturers are engineering their newest concepts with safety in mind. In fact, the overall features of new cars may look much different in 20 years than today’s models, even if the external appearances remain largely unchanged. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, federal government and other road safety groups across the world are also working to make dis- tracted driving a thing of the past. Major initiatives are underway, including an inno- vative $30 million project to expand the Vehicle Research Center in Ruckersville, Va. An enlarged outdoor track at the expanded center provides ample space for high-speed maneuvers and accurate evalu- ation of front crash prevention systems. More intensive testing like this will help driver safety advance to new levels. CRASH PREVENTION The major solution to dis- tracted driving may already here: technology that inter- he proliferation of technology into our everyday activities is blamed for much of the issues related to distracted driving. such as autonomous braking or out-of-lane alerts can make a difference in helping correct common driving behaviors caused by distractions. FUTURE TECHNOLOGY A group of federal and state agencies, research organizations and automak- ers is developing vehi- cle-to-vehicle and vehi- cle-to-infrastructure com- munications platforms, which, according to the NHTSA, could potentially address about 80 percent of crashes involving non-im- paired drivers. 5500 block of Mercer Lake Road.

Drivers get into fewer crashes when their vehicles are equipped with front crash prevention systems, and new technology is on the way to connect vehicles to each other and roadway infra- structure to alleviate crashes. Crash avoidance features 7 A The technology would allow cars to communicate with each other and roadway infrastructure to help ease congestion and avoid acci- dents. The NHTSA is working on how vehicle-to-vehicle com- munication technology would roll out to passenger vehicles. Stay tuned. Starting Monday, the week leading up to Relay For Life of Florence will feature a decorating competition to see which local business can “purple” their location the best to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life.
