The automotive industry continues to introduce new active safety and entertainment and propulsion technologies for the latest vehicles hitting dealership showrooms. Attendees visiting the 2018-Model Seattle International Auto Show will get a first-hand look at these innovations. “In vehicle technology is advancing quickly as automakers try to keep pace with consumer technology,” said Motor Trend Associate Editor Scott Evans. “For customers, this means many technologies which were recently available only in luxury vehicles are quickly becoming common in mainstream, affordable vehicles.”
Active safety features continue to be an area that manufacturers are exploring. From pre-collision systems that warn drivers of an impending crash to active cruise systems that can apply the brakes automatically and come to a complete stop, vehicles today keep tabs on what’s happening around them. Mazda3 Touring and Grand Touring models come with Smart City Brake Support, Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert as standard equipment. Advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology includes ProPILOTT Assist, e-Pedal and Safety Shield technologies.

The Honda Civic and GMC Yukon XL will even nudge the car back into its lane if it senses a change without a turn signal activated.
“When it comes to what moves the car, consumers have more choices than ever,” according to Evans “Many new hybrids are coming on the market.” The Chrysler Pacifica eHybrid, is a plug-in minivan that goes 30 miles on pure electric before switching to the gas-powered generator.
