Safety Features Resonate with American Motorists in New Tech Choice Study
Today’s new cars are likely to feature more digital technology than you’ll find in the typical home or office – including infotainment systems that can tap into the apps on an Apple or Google smartphone.
But forget about Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. What consumers want most are safety-related technologies such as blind spot detection and forward-collision mitigation – which account for seven of the Top 10 technologies car buyers say they want most, according to the first J.D. Power U.S. Tech Choice Study. Among the Top Five picks, self-healing paint was the only non-safety-related technology.

Americans Want Self-Driving Cars for the Cheaper Insurance
Americans want self-driving cars. Not because they’ll save loads of time or ease the commute nightmare, but because it will save them money.
Of the 1,500 US drivers the Boston Group surveyed in September, 55 percent said they “likely” or “very likely” would buy a semi-autonomous car (one capable of handling some, but not all, highway and urban traffic). What’s more, 44 percent said they would, in 10 years, buy a fully autonomous vehicle.
What’s most surprising about the survey isn’t that so many people are interested in this technology, but why they’re interested.
Increased Clean Vehicle Rebates Now Available For California Public Fleets in Disadvantaged Communities
California's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) is offering state and local public agencies serving disadvantaged communities newly increased rebates for purchasing eligible electric vehicles for their fleet operations. The Center for Sustainable Energy, administrators of the statewide project for the California Air Resources Board, announced they are accepting rebate applications funded by $2.8 million available from the state’s Low Carbon Transportation Investments.
The Increased Incentives for Public Fleets in Disadvantaged Communities Pilot Project (Public Fleet Pilot Project) is a new offering administered alongside CVRP. The project benefits citizens of California residing in disadvantaged communities by providing immediate air pollution emissions reductions while stimulating local deployment of the next generation of zero-emission and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Public agencies can benefit from lower acquisition costs for cleaner vehicles that will help in achieving greenhouse gas reduction goals.
