Many drivers rely on GPS systems to help them navigate their way through city roads. A new application could be soon available for travelers to reach their destinations using the safest roads possible, as Top Tech News reports.
New York City personal injury lawyers understand the dangers of traveling — drivers in an unfamiliar area are at increased risk of being involved in an accident. We encourage you to plan for your trip by allowing enough time to avoid rushing, have an alternative route and make sure your car is properly maintained to avoid potentially deadly car accidents.
AAA is currently working with eight states to program and plot their safest roads and routes, using years of prior accident rates. The company is confident that this application will have the ability to save lives.
“You could get in a car, turn on the in-vehicle navigation and request not only the quickest way from point A to point B, but the safest way,” said Peter Kissinger, president and CEO of the AAA Foundation. You can now drive your “5-star-car” through “5-star-roads”.
A similar service, SafeRoadMaps.org, is already available to drivers and has proven itself effective and useful to consumers; it has received more than 10 million hits in its first year-and-half.
The new portable application will be available to the public soon, within the next two or three years, and will be able to inform drivers of the safest roadways to take throughout their trip, based on years of analyzed information of where car accident deaths have occurred.
