It’s astonishing to see that some driver assistance systems, meant to enhance the driving experience, seem to have missed the mark, instead contributing to increased danger on the road. The study from the SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands indicates that systems like automatic emergency braking can boost safety, but others, like cruise control, seem to do the opposite. These ‘comfort-enhancing’ systems, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), ‘appear not to have beneficial effects on safety,’ the study notes. Truly a curveball in the realm of automotive technology.
