Abstract
Growing environmental awareness, increasing demand for comfort, mobility for the elderly drivers: these are just some examples of global automotive trends which shape people’s expectations of the automobile. Additionally, the trend towards safe driving becomes increasingly important in all markets. But most of the new and comprehensive demands have one thing in common: it will only be possible to fulfill them with advanced active and passive safety systems. This paper shows examples of how Bosch can significantly improve the safety of road traffic by using advanced safety systems in modern cars.
