Spain, at the tail of Europe in the installation of systems ADASLlegan electric cars to babies with connectivity and Bluetooth
Away from the seat belts and airbags, modern cars increasingly have more and more modern systems of driving assistance, what the vehicles are more safe. Nesting of under the acronym ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in English) , these systems ranging from the braking autonomous emergency with pedestrian detection, the detection dead angle or the detection system of fatigue, the alert involuntary change and lane, the active maintenance in the lane, the traffic alert rear cross or the recognition of traffic signals.
But not always, these systems are well received by the drivers, which in a high percentage assure them disconnected on a timely basis or disable them completely. According to the study 2019 by J. D. Power, more than 60% claimed to disable this type of technology completely.
The survey collects the opinions of 20,000 american drivers with model year 2019, with cars that had 38 different technologies and had been used or purchased in the last 90 days prior to the completion of the study. Many of the respondents came to express their complaints about some of the systems, especially the alerts, lane keeping, and the wizard of centered in the lane.
The 23% of the respondents said that these technologies, driving assistance are annoying. Even, of that percentage, 61% he came to recognize that it has the systems of your vehicle out of commission for a full . On the other hand, the study has also shown that 21% of drivers, despite finding no annoying assistance systems, have been turned off these technologies.

The medical assistance most valued were the Protection against collisions (813 points), the Connection with smart phones (789 points) or systems navegacioón (744 points).
“Some brands are making its safety technology to be effective without being dominant. Some are good in one aspect but weaker in another, and others work in both. That is why 90% of the customers of a brand want to the system of maintenance and balance of lane in their next vehicle, while only 59% of the customers of another company say the same thing,” said Kristin Kolodge, executive director of Research of Driver Interaction and human Machine Interface at J. D. Power.
According to the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT), if all cars carry systems, ADAS, would result in a reduction of the risk of loss in Spain 57% : up to 51,000 accidents would be avoided, or its consequences would be mitigated significantly.
