Why 60% of Aussies hate this crucial car feature
Executive Summary
Summary: New data reveals that 60% of Australian drivers are disabling their car’s safety features, citing distraction as a key concern. A survey of 2,000 drivers conducted by IAG showed a significant lack of understanding about advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), with many drivers feeling unprepared and uninformed about these technologies. In response, industry bodies plan to tighten safety feature regulations to enhance the user experience and safety on Australian roads.
