The study finds that widespread adoption of crash avoidance technologies available today and other existing safety systems could save upward of 16,800 to 20,500 lives annually,
The 2020 Titan is available in a choice of 4X2 of 4X4 drive configurations. The 4X4 Titan Pro-4X Crew Cab provides work crews operating in remote locations with the capability to meet the most rugged fleet applications.
Conversely, the study found that commercial drivers who transport passengers are considered the safest overall.
As new, expensive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology becomes standard in light-duty vehicles, fleets risk liability exposure and a potential increase in collisions if the technology is not properly repaired.
As proliferation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) increases, skilled labor, equipment, and training costs will increase as well. Fleet operators can’t mitigate these financial burdens by cutting corners on ADAS recalibration and repairs.
Studies have shown that advanced driver assistance technology is amplifying distracted behavior. Do you know how to manage these technologies and educate your drivers to avoid the risk?
New technologies such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) require special equipment and training when service is needed, which create additional maintenance costs.
Nissan has reworked the powertrain of its gasoline-powered Titan XD for the 2020 model-year, noting that it added a bundle of safety technologies as standard equipment on all models.
While technology is making vehicles safer, last longer, and be more environmentally friendly, it is also making them increasingly complex. As vehicles become more complex, so do all aspects of vehicle repairs.
A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that while electronic safety systems such as advanced cruise control, collision mitigation, and lanekeeping can help save lives, improper use can lead to fatal accidents.
