Increasing road safety by offering highly efficient and economical safety systems in volume segments is one of Opel's goals. Opel already offers a variety of innovative features to support the driver and enable safe driving in volume segments. In an effort to make more features affordable, the front camera system capabilities are expanded beyond Lane Departure Warning and will provide active safety features, like Forward Collision Alert, Emergency Braking and the latest version of Traffic Sign Memory. The Zafira Tourer is the most recent launch which offers these features. The new features will be broadly covered. Beyond regulations, costumer usability and satisfaction which were important during the development the first generation, safety benefit will become more fundamental in the design process for next generations. The Opel safety efficiency process will be presented which includes in-depth analysis of accident reconstructions, real time simulations and injury investigations. Opel received a EuroNCAP Advanced Reward for Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL), the first lighting system to be rewarded based on a safety benefit. The dossier relied on the new efficiency process. Prior to AFL, Opel Eye received a EuroNCAP Advanced reward thanks to the safety benefits of the Lane Departure Warning.
