Technology is about to make the most profound difference ever seen in automotive safety.
And it's doing it in some surprisingly cool ways. It's primary purpose is to eventually allow vehicles to 'wagon train' on highways-each car being kept a safe distance from the car in front, via automatic braking. There are no mechanical connections between the steering wheel and the steering gear. Ultimately active steering will allow cars to communicate their position to each other and be able to automatically take preventative action to avoid collisions. A sensitive camera detects the position and direction of a vehicle within a lane.
