Safety features should be a major focus when you are shopping for a new vehicle. Modern driver-assist systems use a combination of cameras and sensors to keep track of dangers you might not notice, like the car ahead of you suddenly hitting the brakes or another car approaching your blind spot. Dash cams are useful in case you get in a fender bender because they continuously record what happens and can help limit your liability. Depending on the driver assists in your vehicle, you might receive an alert of potential hazards, while other systems can automatically take over for you. And that's worth a heck of a lot more than a new sound system.
