Many vehicles on the road today feature advanced technology one could only dream of just a few years ago. Foremost among these features are those that reinforce driver safety. Here are 10 cars with the best high-tech.
10. GMC Sierra Denali 1500
Among pickup trucks, the GMC Sierra Denali features some of the best tech on the road. Among driver safety features are collision warnings, a special haptic vibration system built-in that tells the driver when the truck is straying too far to the left or right, and automatic high-beam lights for night driving. There’s also a wireless charging pad.
9. Volvo S90
The Volvo S90 sedan boasts incredibly advanced safety features, including pedestrian, cyclist, and animal detection systems, road edge detection, and auto braking that’s active up to 80 mph. Its headlights automatically bend to illuminate curves at night. The S90 also has a parking assist feature. Plus, all your devices can connect to the touch screen via Bluetooth.
8. BMW 5 Series
With the BMW 5 Series, you can use the fob as a remote control to park the car perpendicularly from outside of the vehicle. Speak into the fob from inside your house to start/stop the vehicle or lock/unlock the doors. View the vehicle in 360 degrees with your smartphone. The interior features a gesture-recognition touchscreen system supported by Apple Car Play.
7. Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey is one of the smartest minivans available. An interior ceiling camera allows the driver to see behind the vehicle at 360 degrees and features a night-vision display. Safety technology includes lane departure warning and pedestrian detection. The driver can speak to passengers through the stereo speakers or the passenger’s wireless headphones. Many more family-friendly tech features abound.
6. Audi A4
The Audi A4 delivers high-tech safety features such as collision warning and auto braking, which are now standard. The A4’s “virtual cockpit” offers traffic alerts, 3D Google Earth graphics, and entertainment info on its 12-inch display screen, so everything the driver needs is at their fingertips. Drivers can choose between Android Auto or Apple Car Play smartphone compatibility.
5. Mercedes Benz S-Class Convertible
One of the safety features of the Mercedes Benz S-Class Convertible is like something straight out of a James Bond film. Roll bars are invisible until there is an accident, and they deploy automatically in a split second. Other standard safety features include a cross-traffic detection system, lane departure warning system, and a night vision system.
4. Corvette Stingray
The Corvette Stingray is even more fun to drive with its built-in GoPro video camera that allows drivers to record video and data.

The display can control everything inside the vehicle.
3. Rolls-Royce Wraith
The Rolls-Royce Wraith features satellite-assisted technology. The Wraith uses topographic information from satellites to see what’s ahead before the driver does and makes adjustments accordingly. It can automatically shift gears too for mountain roads or steep dissents. The Wraith can warn you of rain before it starts or ice before it forms. This “smart car” is on a higher level.
