General News: How smart is your car?

Date: 25 September 2007

iCar quiz offers a fun way to check your car’s road safety.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the automobile industry and European researchers new technologies that make your car safer, cleaner and smarter are now available and increasingly familiar to most drivers in Europe.  However, new and exciting ones are yet to be discovered!

A new quiz on the Intelligent Car website helps you to check what kind of technologies your current car has on board. The iCar quiz then informs you how new technologies can make your car safer, cleaner and smarter.

The development and deployment of Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) to enhance road safety throughout Europe is the aim of the eSafety initiative, a joint industry-public sector initiative driven by the European Commission and co-chaired by ERTICO – ITS Europe and ERTICO Partner ACEA.

While taking the quiz, there is also a possibility to win a trip to Luxembourg to participate in one of 10 advanced driving skills courses offered by the Automobile Club of Luxembourg!
