Many Americans have admitted to driving drowsy, and even falling asleep at the wheel. This raises alarms for many reasons, the first being safety on the road.
The easiest way to prevent this road hazard is to not drive while tired in the first place, but unfortunately, as life happens, sometimes sleepiness grabs hold of us while at the wheel.
New vehicle technologies are hoping to add that extra step in preventing fatal car accidents by adding alarms if the vehicle starts to drift off the road as would happen if the driver drifts off to sleep. Some vehicles will even restrain seat belts tighter at these warning signs in hopes to jerk the driver awake.
As you make your next car purchase, keep these technologies in mind as they can help ensure a bright future.
