Crash Avoidance System to be Added to the GMC Terrain

Published Tuesday, 11 October, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: GMC.

General Motors is implementing a brand new safety feature to its GMC Terrain SUV series, a camera mounted to the top of the windshield which uses alerts to warn drivers away from potential collisions. The high resolution digital camera is capable of identifying both lane markings and the position of nearby vehicles, allowing it to anticipate any imminent dangers in advance. The driver is notified through either a visual or audible warning when their vehicle is trailing too close or if their car exits its lane without signaling. Available for $295, the GMC Terrain is the first of three models to adopt this revolutionary crash avoidance system. The company expects to add this option to the Cadillac SRX and the Chevrolet Equinox at some point later this year.

According to estimates brought forth by the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS), more than a quarter of the nearly 6 million annual traffic incidents can be attributed to rear-end collisions. Furthermore, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has gone on record to state that many of these accidents are the result of inattentive drivers and negligence of proper safety procedures. In response to these statistics, GM has developed a system that helps drivers maintain awareness of potential hazards and react accordingly. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given an endorsement of the new system, indicating it may result in a reduction of such incidents.

"When we analyzed the data, the GMC Sierra 3500HD simply outperformed the trucks from Ford and Ram."
