3. Opportunities
• With the frequency of automobile accidents comes
the opportunity for Prestige Safety to create and
improve technologies and make a safer vehicle.
― With the implementation of a safety overhaul made by my
company driver errors could be cut back significantly,
changes would be made to have more driverless features
in the car. (ex. Blind Spot Asst.)

12. Interesting Innovation Snapshots
Newer headlights have a
brighter, whiter light that is much
closer to natural daylight. These
turning headlights help you see
better into corners at night,
swiveling the headlamps as you
steer to increase usable
illumination compared to
conventional fixed headlamps.
Mercedes has released a system
that measures the distance
between the car you are in and the
car in front of it and calculates
how much braking power is
necessary in the case of an
accident.
