New auto safety technologies such a

New auto safety technologies such as automatic braking and sensors that keep a car in its lane could prevent almost 10,000 U.S. road deaths a year and save $251 billion if they were more widely available, according to a Boston Consulting Group study.
More than a quarter of all car crashes in the U.S. could be avoided if automakers and new-vehicle buyers adopted advanced driver-assistance systems now available on relatively few models, the consulting firm said in a statement Tuesday. The technologies still cost more than consumers are willing to pay, according to the study.
“Because the vast majority of crashes in the United States are caused by driver error, the lack of adoption of these technologies within the U.S. fleet is a significant missed opportunity,” Xavier Mosquet, North American leader of the firm’s automotive practice, said in the statement.
The driver-assist technologies also are helping pave the way for autonomous cars, which are capable of eliminating 90 percent of auto crashes, Boston Consulting said. Automakers are pouring billions of dollars into developing such cars as mobility is being redefined amid a shift of most of the global population into large megacities over the next two decades. Driverless cars, operating in harmony, may be essential to the safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
The advanced safety systems could avert about 9,900 of the approximately 33,000 annual U.S. deaths from auto accidents, according to the Boston Consulting study, which was conducted for the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association, a vehicle-parts trade group. The consulting firm in another study earlier this year forecast that by 2017, partially autonomous vehicles will arrive in “large numbers.”

Baru teknologi keamanan mobil seperti pengereman otomatis dan sensor yang menjaga mobil di jalur yang bisa mencegah hampir 10.000 kematian jalan AS setahun dan menyimpan $ 251.000.000.000 jika mereka lebih banyak tersedia, menurut sebuah studi Boston Consulting Group.
Lebih dari seperempat semua kecelakaan mobil di AS bisa dihindari jika mobil dan pembeli kendaraan baru diadopsi sistem driver-bantuan canggih sekarang tersedia di relatif sedikit model, perusahaan konsultan mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan hari Selasa. Teknologi masih biaya lebih dari konsumen bersedia membayar, menurut penelitian.
"Karena sebagian besar kecelakaan di Amerika Serikat disebabkan oleh kesalahan driver, kurangnya adopsi teknologi ini dalam armada AS adalah kesempatan yang signifikan , "Xavier Mosquet, pemimpin Amerika Utara praktek otomotif perusahaan, mengatakan dalam pernyataan itu.
Teknologi sopir-membantu juga membantu membuka jalan untuk mobil otonom, yang mampu menghilangkan 90 persen dari crash auto, kata Boston Consulting. Mobil menuangkan miliaran dolar dalam mengembangkan mobil seperti mobilitas sedang didefinisikan ulang di tengah pergeseran sebagian besar populasi global ke kota-kota besar besar selama dua dekade berikutnya. Mobil driverless, yang beroperasi di harmoni, mungkin penting untuk gerakan yang aman dan efisien orang dan barang.
Sistem keamanan canggih bisa mencegah sekitar 9.900 dari sekitar 33.000 kematian tahunan AS dari kecelakaan mobil, menurut penelitian Boston Consulting, yang dilakukan untuk Ikatan Motor & Equipment Manufacturers, kelompok perdagangan kendaraan-bagian. Perusahaan konsultan dalam studi lain awal tahun ini meramalkan bahwa pada 2017, sebagian kendaraan otonom akan tiba di "jumlah besar."
