the Highway Loss Data Institute (IIHS) has found that lane-departure warnings and blind-spot detection are lowering the risk of crashes in the Cicchino , the first evidence of its kind. Accidents were reduced by 21% when lane-departure warnings were active, and the rate of injury dropped by 11% , according to the study. Researchers don’t know what percent of the time lane-departure warning was turned on in the earlier studies, but if drivers in the new study had kept the feature on all the time, the results would be in line with the benefits found in the earlier studies, according to Cicchino. Fatal crash rates were down by 21% , but the sample size was small enough that this was statistically insignificant.
