There was a time when highway driving meant endless traffic for hours on end. Today, however, the construction of many fast expressways mean we can drive to farther places and explore more of the country. And the very latest in technology makes these longer drives much safer and more convenient.

In this special segment of AutoFocus brought to you by Peugeot Philippines, we take a look at some of the many technological advancements that have found their way into the automobiles we drive everyday.

Technology is quickly re-shaping the way motorists drive. And for the better. Technology geared to make for safer motorway driver is always a priority of manufacturers, and Peugeot is always at the cutting edge of innovation. 

Brand new expressways, toll-roads, and more infrastructure being completed all around the country means faster driving speeds. With this change and increase in pace to reach farther provinces and destinations, technology is essential to make for safer travels. Here’s Mr. Glen Dasig, president of Peugeot Philippines with what the premier French automobile brand engages in promoting safer driving.  

 “The safety of our customers are always our concern at Peugeot, and so all of our models come with a standard suite of safety equipment such as anti-lock brakes, stability control, and multiple airbags. Our higher spec models, however, get even more features to make the long, out-of-town driver not only more convenient, but safer.”

“Take, for instance, our HUD, or heads-up display; a feature that is available in the 308, 3008, 508, and 5008. In those models equipped with HUD, a clear screen folds up from the dashboard and shows the current speed. This feature, similar to what can be seen in modern fighter jets, means the driver can keep his or her eyes on the road at all times. This helps the driver maintain a safe speed at all times, and perhaps even avoid a few speeding tickets.”

Seeing your speed at any given time without taking your eyes off the road is a great safety feature. But being able to cruise long distances on open expressways without having to step on the pedal is a great convenience function. 

 “One feature we're particularly proud of is our cruise control system. When you use the cruise control on your Peugeot, it will maintain your selected speed as you cruise down the expressway. Some found cruise control to be an unusual feature for Philippine roads, but with more and more expressways opening, our customers will find this function to be very useful.”

“Before, cruise controls were simply about maintaining a constant speed, but Peugeot's latest cruise control systems available in several of our models have more enhancements for a safer drive. The new systems use radar to warn the driver if the car ahead is getting a bit too close, while even more advanced versions can brake the car automatically if needed.” 

“We at Peugeot may pride ourselves in our design and French flair, but when it comes to technology, we seek only the best to make safer and more comfortable cars for our customers.”

The wonders of modern technology have indeed made modern cars safer, and Peugeot is a prime example of a car company that is always pushing to provide their customers with the very best in automotive tech.
