Grade A achieved

According to a mandate from the European Commission revealing the new set of safety rules.

On the 17 May 2018 the European Commission proposed a new set of mandatory vehicle safety standards for all vehicles sold in the European Union. 

Of course, Brexit might come into play for UK car buyers, but typically when one developed region introduces new safety rules the others soon follow.

The changes are mandatory because governments know that drivers want safe vehicles but are rarely willing to pay for them if they are optional extras.  Governments are therefore forcing manufacturers to include them as standard, making new cars even more expensive.

Analysts suggest that, in the decade following the introduction of the new rules, they will save over 7,000 lives and prevent almost 40,000 serious injuries.  So, understandably, the move has been lauded by car safety experts.  Many of them would love to see the forced retirement of our beloved older cars.

But, safety aside and not factoring in the cost of all the advancements, there will be a much bigger issue for some of us.  Basically, the changes might be a little bit too much like Big Brother is watching you.  In fact, not just watching you and your car, but literally taking over your car while you are driving it!

Here’s some of the standard driver assist systems that will come as standard in our next model. To read about the full list of the 11 Advanced Driver Assist Systems that will start rolling in from 2021 click on this link.

This is a cool game to help you acquire some much needed steering and control skills. It gets harder and harder as you get up through all 12 levels ... hours of fun or frustration as it only allows you to crash 3 times..yikes!
