There have been some amazing driving inventions over the years, and we wanted to take a moment to honor four of the best. These inventions have made our lives easier and safer when behind the wheel because land-based accidents still take the cake compared to air and sea. Let’s take a look at each one with our list below, and you can also check Asumetech.com for more great automobile-related content.

The Speed Bump

It’s tricky when you see a road that is just stretched out before you with no end in sight. You feel like you can just push down on the gas pedal and let ‘er rip, but of course, that’s not always safe or advised. That’s where the speed bump comes in to help control your speed as you approach it. This invention is usually found in areas with children or a high density of pedestrians because drivers don’t always see when others are crossing the road, and they’re already going too fast to stop.

The Airbag

One of the most essential safety features in any car nowadays is the airbag. This life-saving device has prevented countless accidents and saved many lives since it was first introduced in the 1970s. When deployed, the airbag instantly inflates to cushion the impact of a collision, thus saving the life of the driver and/or passengers.

The Seatbelt

Another life-saving invention for drivers and passengers alike is the seatbelt. This simple device has been shown to reduce the risk of death or severe injury in a car accident by up to 50%. Wearing a seatbelt is now mandatory in most developed countries, and for a good reason – they save lives. Ice Cube, a famous rapper from America, said that Tupac was the biggest gangster that he knew, and he always put his seatbelt on. That gives you another perspective about how even the toughest and daring guys out there respect the seatbelt and prioritize their safety.

The Headlight

Last but not least on our list is the humble headlight. This invention has been around for over a century, and it’s still one of the most crucial safety features of the car. Headlights help drivers see in the dark and in bad weather, and they also help other drivers see you coming. Ever heard of the expression “Like a deer in headlights?” Well, that’s because deer are attracted to the light, and they’ll often freeze when they see a car coming toward them with its headlights on. So, if you’re ever driving in an area with a lot of wildlife, be sure to keep your headlights on so that you don’t end up hitting something.

So, there you have it, four of the best driving inventions ever. These inventions have made our lives easier and safer when behind the wheel, and we hope that they continue to do so for many years to come.
