Description

New advancements in technology are reportedly behind a significant decrease in car crashes.

Collisions have dropped 7 percent each year over the last two years, according to the latest AMI motor report.

AA Principal Policy Advisor Terry Collins says adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking are among the recent developments that have made all the difference.

"We know that accidents occur when people try to do their best and some things happen through inattention. What they do is they give you that physical warning - or they apply the breaks when something happens unexpectedly."
