Millions of drivers could be missing out on the benefits of potentially lifesaving in-vehicle assistance aids when they’re behind the wheel with thi research showing that a third (33%) of drivers never use them.
Out of six of the most prominent driving assistance aids** in modern vehicles – including collision warnings and cruise control – and among those whose vehicles have these technologies, only a quarter (25%) say they regularly or often use them. In contrast, one-in-five (19%) rarely use these aids or have used them only once. A worrying third (33%) say they never use the technology. Just over a fifth of drivers (22%) state their vehicle doesn’t have the technology, but this varies depending on individual assistance features.
The findings were based on a survey of 2,008 drivers for road safety charity IAM RoadSmart’s 2024 Road Safety Report.
