II. Modern devices and how they work.

A. Companies that are most concerned about safety.

Automobile safety is a big social issue of our time. This paper will discuss modern car safety devices. It will also explain when they were introduced and how successful they have been. Car safety affects everybody in our population, even those who do not drive. Often these devices have high costs, but they are worth it because they improve safety of the driver and passengers. Sometimes safety devices fail and can cause serious injuries or even a death. This paper will emphasize that the driver is still needed because no device can do everything for you. And responsibility of driver is one of the keys for being safe, because for example

every 3 out of every 5 people killed in vehicle accidents in U.S. would have survived their injuries if they had been strapped in. (“Death-defying designs for car safety”, 3) Modern car safety devices can improve our safety of driving.

Volvo is the car manufacturer that has been always mostly concerned about the safety of cars. They were first to invent many safety technologies that are still used in our cars. Volvo first invented 2-point seatbelts to protect the driver and his passengers, and later introduced 3-point seatbelts, that we are using every day, and made them standard in every car. (“A Potted Seat Belt History”, 1)

But car safety devices have disadvantages like often high costs.

Ventilated brakes are made to reduce the temperature of the brake disks to prevent their damage. Tires and brakes work all together as a part of car suspension that actually does keep car on the road due complicated construction, shocks and springs.

Another important side of automobile safety is how it grips to the road. This includes tires, brakes and suspensions. Car tires are being improved all the time. Tire safety is based on many factors: how it acts on dry and wet roads, snow, or deep water puddles. Last two are most important when choosing tires, because most tires are pretty similar in first two categories. Aquaplaning is a dangerous thing in driving that can be even more dangerous than driving on ice. Aqua planning is basically water forcing the car lift off the road and it is critical to have tires that have special threads to prevent that lifting.
