Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive overview of car safety, focusing on the safest cars and SUVs based on various factors such as crash tests, safety technologies, braking performance, and ease of use. It emphasizes that vehicle size does not determine safety and highlights the importance of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in preventing crashes. The article also emphasizes the need to protect both occupants and others on the road, including pedestrians and cyclists. It concludes by providing examples of specific vehicles that offer better crash protection and lists the top-rated safest cars for 2024. Additionally, the article mentions the importance of features like automatic crash notification (ACN) and crash avoidance technology in saving lives. It categorizes vehicles based on size and type and provides their overall scores. The article also includes a list of vehicles that are considered less safe due to their lack of certain safety features and low scores in braking and emergency handling tests.
