Autonomous driving systems are racking up more miles of on-the-road testing, becoming more sophisticated.

The idea of a self-driving vehicle dates back to more than 500 years ago , when Leonardo Da Vinci designed a cart that was propelled by springs and could be programmed to follow a set path.

Fire suppression systems have been in use in auto racing since the 1960s , and are now mandatory in NASCAR and IndyCar racing.

Head-up displays should be designed to warn drivers of hazardous road conditions like black ice and crosswinds.

Production cars are currently engineered to have crumple zones, which absorb the energy of an impact so it's not transferred to the passenger compartment.

IndyCar and Formula 1 race cars are designed with a protective safety cell around the driver and body components that are designed to break apart in the event of a wreck.

Cars today are loaded with sensors, but these capabilities are generally linked to a vehicle's climate control system or operated manually.
