Imagine this. It’s your first day on the job as a commercial truck driver. There is torrential rain outside. Your visibility is severely limited, and you are just about to make a right turn. The road looks clear. As you are about to release your foot from the brake, a warning flashes, and your vehicle doesn’t move forward. It has detected a cyclist who just crossed in front of your path – avoiding a potentially deadly accident and saving a cyclist’s life.

Welcome to the age of the smarter, safer truck.

Trucks connected with Wi-Fi and utilizing advanced safety sensors such as radars and camera systems are expected to reduce the number of accidents on the road, as they are able to sense the world around them and better react to their surroundings. But is ‘seeing’ the world around the vehicle enough to improve the safety of our roads?

Commercial vehicles encounter harsh environments and severe road conditions daily. Hauling heavy cargo or working in construction and agriculture, along with an increase in modern industry requirements, have created the need for higher standards in commercial vehicle connection systems.

For commercial vehicle owners, providing the safest and most ‘user friendly’ environment for their drivers is their number one priority. By enabling the driver to operate the on-board controls in an intuitive fashion, Aptiv's technologies provide the desired efficiency and safety for the commercial vehicle market.
