At last year's Detroit auto show, Honda showed off its line of ASV-3 vehicles, equipped with advanced safety technologies. Those include a system that uses cameras and radar to provide drivers with information on approaching vehicles and obstacles in the road. The installed sensors actually interchange position data on other cars with the same technology.
Another safety feature gives drivers steering and brake assistance. And the car's emergency response system, with GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, gives aid to drivers in the event of an accident. Honda said it plans to eventually offer all these features in mass production vehicles.
