HIGHWAY 27 FEATURE THE FUTURE OF SAFETY TECHNOLOGY TODAY Car manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of technology to enhance safety on the roads. Here are the latest developments from four top brands. AUDI PRE SENSE This unique technology from Audi prepares the vehicle when it senses that an emergency manoeuvre is being made. Information from the Electronic Stability 3URJUDPVHQVRUV provides continuous feedback to the system regarding acceleration and deceleration. When the sensors identify a critical manoeuvre from a driver in response to an impending collision, 3UH6HQVHDFWLYDWHVWKH hazard warning lights and closes the side windows and sunroof. It also tensions the front seat belts. The process is triggered by an electric motor, and is reversible. When no collision occurs, the electrical pre- tensioners retract, the belts are released and driving resumes.

In comparison, an equivalent petrol engine will produce less torque – but more horsepower – over a wider power band. But what does this mean to the average driver? With today’s multi-speed automatic transmission, keeping a diesel engine in that lower, narrower power band rpm is no longer an issue. Plus lower rpm equals less noise. However, the same applies to high-revving petrol engines, which can now use the numerous gears to keep the rpm up in the sweet spot. So the rule of thumb is that petrol engines might be more suited to sporty applications where high horsepower (and
