Crash Proof CAR

At first when I saw this title I thought cars were made up of strong enough material to where it'd be impossible to crash your car.

Nope. Think again.

There are cars with a built-in sensor device which can sense if you're going to run a red light and the car will automatically brake for you and it can also alert the driver if a pedestrian is about to cross the street and that is useful especially at night. I think it's pretty cool to have in the car, especially if you're the type who isn't the best driver around. Maybe one who gets distracted easily while on their phone, doesn't pay attention, has a hard time seeing at night. Or if you are those kind you shouldn't be driving!! Haha J/K, you know what I mean. Technology keeps improving everyday no matter what. There's always going to be something better.

Yet, when it comes to safe driving and the safety of pedestrians, do we REALLY need technology to help prevent accidents? Yes and no. I'd say yes in case of situations where you are blindsided by an oncoming car and it T-bones you and with pedestrians running across the street at night. But then again I don't think we should depend on these because we shouldn't have devices to help control the safety of others when drivers really do have the capability to drive safely. If they don't, they shouldn't be driving.
