True

Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) Communication includes notifying drivers about pedestrians and bicyclists.

True

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communication enables vehicles to inform a driver of roadway hazards and dangerous situations that they cannot see.

True

Warning technology informs the driver of the need to act to avoid or reduce the severity of a crash.

True

_______________ increases traction and allows the driver to better manage the vehicle in bad weather?

All wheel drive

___________________ vehicles are a self-driving car that is capable of sensing its environment and moving with little or no human input.

Automated

______________________ this function automatically switches from low to high beam and back again, for improved nighttime visibility as conditions warrant?

Automatic high beams

_____________________ maintains a speed set by the driver when there is no lead vehicle.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

What is the technology that helps a vehicle remain on it's intended path by preventing it from sliding sideways in a turn.

Electronic Stability Control

All vehicles come equipped with the same vehicle technology systems.

False

The Rear view Video System is a replacement for mirrors and turning your head to look.

False

To prevent crashes, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication can take control of the vehicle from the driver.

False

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communication do not have the potential to reduce or eliminate crashes through driver advisories, driver warnings, and vehicle and/or infrastructure controls.

False

Lane departure warning uses a camera to monitor lane markings and will take control of the vehicle to keep the driver from operating it.

False, Lane departure warning uses a camera to monitor lane markings on a roadway but does not take control of the vehicle.

Tire pressure rating indicates the expected life of a tire.

False, Tread wear rating indicates the expected life of a tire.

___________________ allows vehicles and traffic signals to communicate with one another alerting drivers of an upcoming red light.

Intersection Assistance

_____________ technology automatically takes action without driver input?

Mitigating

During an over-steering or skidding situation (i.e., rear-wheel lock-up), to which wheel does the electronic stability program apply the brake?

Outer front wheels

What is the electronic stability program designed to do?

Prevent the vehicle from skidding and sliding.

This feature of Highway Safety Design helps drivers from blocking traffic. What is the feature?

Protected turn lanes

Rumble Strips

____________________ is one of the most common contributing factors of traffic crashes?

Speeding

____________ control devices are designed to keep the tires in contact with the road surface as much as possible.

Suspension

___________ glass fractures into small relatively harmless pieces.

Tempered

Blind Spot Warning technology recognizes when another vehicle is traveling diagonally behind the driver and signals the presence of the approaching car using indicators in the vehicle.

True

Highway Safety Design may include guardrails, crash attenuators and breakaway sign posts.

True

It may be possible for a hacker to remotely access a vehicle's technology systems; but it may not always result in a hacker being able to access all parts of the vehicle systems.

True

Mitigating technology automatically acts without input to avoid or reduce the severity of a crash.

True

The Forward Collision Warning System monitors the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to warn you of an impending crash.

True
