The safety benefits from features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure prevention and high-beam assist stack up as multiple systems are bundled together and updated versions deliver better results, a new study from the Highway Loss Data Institute shows.
“These technologies are awesome,” said Matt Moore, chief insurance operations officer at HLDI and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. “As they improve and become more common, we are seeing compounding crash reductions.”
To better understand this evolution, HLDI’s latest study examined the impact of the advanced driver assistance systems offered on 2015-23 Mazda vehicles, comparing six feature bundles and four other stand-alone systems.
