Seat Belt Beep

We all see the news stories of individuals fatally or critically injured in a car accident as the result of failing to wear a seat belt. Despite these stories, it is estimated that 11.5% of individuals do not wear a seat belt when driving or being driven in a vehicle. As a result of this, many auto manufactures have decided to combat the issue with technology.

It is important to remember that seat belts were the most innovative piece of safety technology made to vehicles. The number of lives seat belts save is greater than, for example, that of child safety seats and airbags.  However, companies are taking more steps in ensuring individuals wear seat belts and the seat belts are safer in themselves.

Some estimates say that the standard seat belt alarm that beeps, when the front driver or passenger are not wearing seat belts, is responsible for saving over 1,000 lives.  While it is difficult to estimate this number, many people think that the actual result is must greater than just 1,000 lives.  Today, automaker Chevrolet designed a feature that can actually mute the stereo system in the Malibu if the driver or front seat passenger are not buckled up.  In addition, Ford and Mercedes-Benz now offer a small airbag that is at the shoulder to protect this area from drastic movement upon impact.
