Year by year the automotive industry has implemented more and more modern and intelligent car safety systems. Over and over developing range of electronic solutions is to support drivers in demanding road conditions and increase the level of passenger and pedestrian life and health protection. It is a global trend, however, it is worth to remember that the most important element to guarantee the safety is a deliberate construction and passive systems in a car.

Since 5 January 2020 new regulations are in force in the area of the European Union, which aim at implementation in construction of cars a larger number of systems that serve protection of lives of the car users. According to them all cars produced and imported from 2022 will have to feature such functions as e.g. suggested speed limit, detection of pedestrians and cyclists, autonomous braking before an obstacle, emergency lane keeping, driver focus monitoring or even facilitation of breathalyzer installation. Moreover, similar to airplanes, cars will be equipped with a “black box”, which is to record information on accidents and collisions. Considering the length of the list of the requested solutions, the European Parliament has put the seal on the direction of development of the automotive branch with the emphasis on safety.
