Safety is just as important as interior appointments, exterior design and price when buying a car. Thirty-nine General Motors vehicles contain a forward collision alert system and 19 vehicles offer it in combination with emergency braking.

The technology first appeared in GM vehicles in the 2004 Cadilla XLR and automative emergency braking appeared in the 2013 Cadillac XTS, ATS and SRX.

How does it work? According to GM, “Forward collision alert alerts the driver to a potential crash when the system detects that a front-end collision situation may be imminent.”
