Rising Significance of Safety and Driver-Assistance Systems
Over the years, the importance and desire for more safety and driver-assistance systems has only increased. Drivers want the latest technology to make their daily commute easier and give them peace of mind. Here's how these systems have become an integral part of modern vehicles:
The Drive for Safety
According to Forbes, more than 278 million vehicles are registered to drive on the roads, making for congested roadways and changing traffic dynamics. These changes have necessitated the need for enhanced safety measures to help reduce the number of collisions happening each day.
Tech Integration
More and more vehicle manufacturers are combining automotive engineering with cutting-edge technology to help deliver these safety measures. Many of these measures help anticipate and even mitigate roadway mishaps.
Buyer Expectation
As driver-assistance features and new-age technology evolve, many modern customers search for these unique safety features when purchasing their new car. Understanding which ones have the latest tech features has become a key consideration for individuals on their car-buying journeys.
Active Safety Features
Active safety features are often proactive measures that alert you about potential dangers, giving you enough time to adjust and avoid them. These features often alert you through audio, visual, or physical alerts — or a combination of all three — with some of these features having assist systems to work in collaboration with your driving.
Automatic Emergency Braking With Pedestrian Detection
Also known as Intelligent Emergency Braking, this system works to detect vehicles or pedestrians in front of your vehicle. If it does identify these dangers, the system first alerts you with visual and audio alerts, giving you enough warning to decelerate. After the initial alert, if you don't apply the brakes or avoid the potential collision, the system is designed to apply emergency braking automatically to help prevent or reduce the damage from the collision.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
The 2024 Nissan Sentra doesn't just have you covered while navigating the city streets but also when in those busy parking lots. With rear cross-traffic alert, you're alerted whenever there's a collision risk as you're backing up. This system senses oncoming traffic through radar sensors near the rear bumper that detect obstacles in your way. Once it detects something, you'll get an audible warning and a flashing indicator on the respective door mirror.
Blind-Spot Warning
Worry about your blind spots no more with the blind-spot warning system. This system is the perfect example of a passive and active system working together to enhance your awareness on the road. The passive side of this system monitors your blind spots with radar sensors and has a light indicator on your door mirrors that lets you know there's something in your blind spot. On the active side, if you turn on your signal indicator while there's an object in your blind spot, you'll get an audible chime and a flashing light indicator on the respective door mirror.
Passive Safety Features
These types of safety features are often reactive measures that keep you and your passengers safe during or after a vehicle collision. Here are some crucial passive safety features you'll find on your new 2024 Nissan Sentra:
- Advanced air bag system: The advanced air bag system has dual-stage bag inflators to ensure you get the proper cushioning during a collision. With air bags strategically placed throughout the cabin, occupants are cushioned from all angles.
- Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system: The LATCH system helps ensure that your child's car seat is safely installed, as other systems can result in a tilting base or loose safety belts that can put your child at risk.
- High-strength steel body: With a steel body making up the frame of the Nissan Sentra, you can count on any impact dissipating correctly along the frame, protecting all the precious cargo in the cabin.
Driver-Assistance Systems
Driver-assistance systems are becoming more prominent in newer car models, and the 2024 Nissan Sentra has plenty of these features to make driving more fun. Many of these systems also aim to reduce driver fatigue, helping you feel less strain on those long trips.
ProPILOT Assist
Taking driver-assistance systems to the next level, this hands-on system combines intelligent cruise control concepts with steering assist innovations to provide a semi-autonomous driving experience. Able to help control acceleration, braking, and steering during single-lane highway driving, you can enjoy a more intuitive drive with less stress.
Traffic Sign Recognition
If you've ever driven by a traffic sign and promptly forgot what it was, the traffic sign recognition system is there for the rescue. This system identifies road traffic signs and captures the information via a camera. It then displays this sign on the multi-information display system until another sign of similar nature shows up. For example, if you drive into a 45 mph area, it displays this sign until the system identifies a different speed limit sign.
Lane Departure Warning
With the lane departure warning, you're notified if the vehicle is unintentionally leaving the traveling lane, allowing you time to correct this and get fully back in the lane. It accomplishes this by monitoring the side-lane markers of your traveling lane while providing visual and audio alerts if it notices drifting. These alerts include flashing light indicators and a chime sound.
