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.”

Auto keselamatan teknologi baru seperti otomatis pengereman dan sensor yang menjaga mobil di jalur yang bisa mencegah kematian road US hampir 10.000 setahun dan menyimpan $251 miliar jika mereka lebih luas tersedia, menurut sebuah studi Boston Consulting Group.Lebih dari seperempat dari semua mobil kecelakaan di AS bisa dihindari jika mobil dan kendaraan baru pembeli mengadopsi sistem bantuan driver maju sekarang tersedia pada model-model yang relatif sedikit, perusahaan konsultan mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan hari Selasa. Teknologi yang masih biaya lebih dari konsumen bersedia membayar, menurut studi.Xavier Mosquet, pemimpin perusahaan otomotif praktek, Amerika Utara "Karena mayoritas crash di Amerika Serikat disebabkan oleh kesalahan pengemudi, kurangnya adopsi teknologi ini dalam armada US adalah kesempatan yang hilang signifikan," kata dalam pernyataan.Teknologi membantu pengemudi juga membantu membuka jalan bagi otonom Mobil, yang mampu menghilangkan 90 persen dari auto crash, Boston Consulting mengatakan. Mobil yang mengalir miliaran dolar dalam mengembangkan mobil tersebut sebagai mobilitas sedang didefinisikan ulang di tengah pergeseran dari sebagian besar populasi global ke kota-kota besar Mega selama dua dekade mendatang. Driverless Mobil, beroperasi di selaras, mungkin penting untuk aman dan efisien pergerakan orang dan barang.Sistem keamanan canggih bisa mencegah sekitar 9,900 kematian US tahunan sekitar 33.000 akibat kecelakaan mobil, menurut studi Boston Consulting, yang dilakukan untuk Motor & Asosiasi produsen peralatan, grup perdagangan kendaraan-bagian. Firma konsultasi dalam lain studi awal tahun ini diperkirakan bahwa 2017, sebagian otonom kendaraan akan tiba dalam "jumlah besar."
