FMCSA data shows that nearly 30 percent of injury crashes involving large trucks are rear-end collisions. Many of these can be avoided with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that detect risks early, either alerting the driver to take action or automatically applying the brakes to help prevent a crash.
To help improve road and driver safety, the FMCSA has finalized a rule requiring Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) on new heavy-duty vehicles starting in 2027. Technologies like blind spot monitoring , 360° cameras , and AI-integrated tools are also being seen as practical ways to reduce risk...

It’s not always cut and dry.
The decision to invest in a potentially life-saving system might seem intuitive to many, but there are some who are either on the fence about it or just under-informed.
Use this quick checklist to know where you stand:
- Was Your Car Built Before 2018?
The older your vehicle, the higher the chances are that it lacks a backup camera system, since the law requiring it in all new vehicles was passed just 4 years ago. If you answered yes, proceed further on.
- Do You Have Any Previous Accidents On Your Record?

We’re going back in time.

Forget backup cameras or sensors–some of the models on this list barely possessed the ability to stay upright!
These 5 vehicles are arguably the most unsafe cars of all time:

Both large-commercial and consumer-facing vehicles regularly take on a shared enemy: the blind spot.
Whether caused by extra thick pillars, small windows, bad sightlines, or high dashboards, a lack of visibility is responsible for its share of accidents.
It also plays a huge role in the failure of maneuvers like backing up, parallel parking, and lane switching, which many drivers are apprehensive towards.
Luckily the aftermarket for blind-spot-elimination offers many options, and of course, we’ve got the most powerful of the bunch:
