One of the keys to successful fleet management is making smart decisions when buying new fleet vehicles. It’s important to weigh the most critical factors for this major investment, including the intended use of the vehicle, the routes the vehicle will travel, maintenance issues associated with the vehicle and choosing the right ADAS features, especially those with the best performance ratings, can reduce the chance of crashes.

Engineers design Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) to make driving safer, but recent traffic crash data shows they may pose safety risks. This is especially the case for drivers who have not received behind-the-wheel training on the best strategies for using ADAS.

Roads have become considerably more dangerous in recent years, and part of the problem is an increase in aggressive driving and incidents involving road rage. Reversing this troubling trend will require each driver to change their behind-the-wheel behavior.
