2012-02-19T15:23:00.000-08:00

Mazda flagship model to be launched this year, the crossover CX-5, will be grafted in a variety of the latest automotive technology devices. The goal, in addition to reducing the weight (will save fuel and reduce emissions), also makes the car safer.

Today (13.02.2012), Mazda announced that the CX-5 will be equipped with a technology called "Smart City Brake Support" (SCBS). This tool helps the driver to avoid collisions in the front or rear ramming other vehicles. In short, it could be called an automatic brake. However, the system only works at low speeds, especially when driving in the city.

Actually, this is no longer SCBS Mazda new technology. Some European manufacturers already use, such as Volvo, and several other premium cars. Further, the All-New Mazda CX-5 which uses SCBS will be launched in the spring of this year.

Laser sensor
SCBS on Mazda uses laser sensors to detect vehicles or other objects in front, and automatically reduces the speed of the brake rotor so that it works faster. If the driver did not get the brakes to avoid collision, SCBS will automatically activate the brakes, and at the same time reducing engine power.

In this way, SCBS expected to help prevent the car from a collision or mitigate damage when collisions still occur. SCBS also accompanied akslerasi controller for automatic transmission, a system that helps prevent the car accelerates suddenly because one stepped on the pedal.

4-30 kph speed
SCBS reduce the pace car at a speed of 4-30 kph if it monitored there in front of the vehicle or object to obstruct. The system works by using a laser sensor mounted on the windscreen detects vehicles or objects in front of the car.

If the difference in speed between the vehicle being driven and in front of less than 30 kph, the SCBS will prevent a collision or reduce the damage that may occur. Meanwhile, the acceleration controller for the automatic transmission works when the driver step on the gas, but there are hurdles ahead. The system also warns the driver via audible alarm and indicator.

World's lightest
Last week, Mazda also announced that the CX-5 using the bumper of the world's lightest resin made from the result of collaboration with Japan Polypropylene Corporation. Explained, the strength of the bumper material is the same as the conventional resin. When used for front and rear bumper, then the weight of components is reduced by 20 percent.

Driving a car is to be careful. And it turns out, not only when drunk alcohol just so dangerous driving activity. For a recent study revealed that when the flu, the risk of someone when driving while intoxicated with liquor.

As reported by Car Advice, in a British study recently revealed that the driver who has the flu can be just as dangerous as drivers under the influence of alcohol.

According to the study, flu symptoms can contribute to the slow reaction of the driver to take action, quick to feel fatigue, and lack of concentration.

Moreover, patients usually have flu symptoms such as watery eyes and swollen that it feared would interfere with vision and provide characteristics such as a drunken man.

The study also outlines that every time someone sneezes usually takes about 2-3 seconds.

So, if the driver was driving at the speed of 110 km / h on the highway and when it sneezes, then the driver as well as driving at the speed of 91 km / h but with eyes closed.

Above all, the risk of driving when suffering from colds could be more dangerous if you have to take medicine because most colds and flu medicines contain a decongestant that can cause drowsiness and slow muscles react.

So if you are cold, just ask someone else to drive.
