April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and when you’re driving your family around St. Augustine, it’s crucial to be aware of your surroundings at all times. We know that modern life presents plenty of distractions behind the wheel, which is why the advanced Cadillac safety features that you’ll find on new models are designed to prevent distracted driving accidents. The team at Fields Cadillac St. Augustine shares how these safety features prevent you from getting into distracted driving-related accidents.
Super Cruise Technology
One of the most groundbreaking Cadillac safety features is the available Super Cruise technology, which offers true hands-free driver assistance on compatible highways. It uses LiDAR map data, GPS, and cameras to allow for automated lane changes and speed management, eliminating human error like distracted driving. It also includes an integrated driver attention camera that monitors where you are looking at all times. If the system detects that your gaze has drifted away from the road for too long, it provides a series of alerts to refocus your attention.
Head-Up Display and Safety Alert Seat
Many distracted driving accidents are caused when the driver looks away from the road, such as down at a cellphone or dashboard display. The available Head-Up Display eliminates this need by projecting vital information like speed and navigation directly into your line of sight. This feature is combined with the Safety Alert Seat, which uses haptic vibration pulses to signal the direction of a potential collision. Rather than relying solely on audible beeps that can be ignored, these vibrations provide a more urgent warning to the driver.
