Motoring Technology

1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur eachyear,plus a further 50 million injuries.To reduce car crash rate,much researchnow is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuelresearch aims at going faster.

Travelling at speed has always beendangerous.One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use ofdigital in-car assistants.They can ensure you don’tmiss important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and notmechanical faults.

Some safety developments aim to improve yourvision.Radar can spot obstacles in fog,while other technology“sees through”big vehicles blocking yourview.

And improvements to seat belts,pedal(脚踏)controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer.The colourof a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,less surprisingly,sizeand shape.

But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been manyinnovations(创新).Satellite tracking and remotecommunications can also come into play if you crash,automatically calling forhelp.

Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there aremore subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear butbusy road.Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools.Robotic driverscould be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day beeveryons’s personal chauffeur(司机),but their latest efforts suggest that won’tbe soon.
