It may sound like sci-fi, but it's not all that far-fetched. John Capp, director for Global Active Safety for Cadillac, says future Cadillac technologies could include in-vehicle Doppler radar to spot obstructions or traffic jams ahead. Looking even further out, Capp sees autonomous vehi- cles that can communicate with each other, traffic signals and buildings, pointing to a world where cars may actually drive them- selves. Cadillac is already evolving its technology to come closer to the vision of a crash-proof car. Capp and his team of engineers, inventors and futurists have developed life-saving active safety technologies that are already in place on the 2010 Cadillac DTS Platinum, including: Lane departure warning is a camera-based lane detection system that warns the driver when he or she leaves their lane without sig- naling. Blind spot alert - twin radar beacons that detect an object in a vehicle's blind zone and provide a visual warning in the outside side mirror. Adaptive cruise control - sensors detect objects in a vehicle's path and slow the vehicle down to avoid a collision.
