Accord
The Honda Accord will receive a redesign for the 2016 model year. The engine choices, body style, and layout of the car will remain as it was in 2015, but the entire vehicle has gone to finishing school.

The Pilot features an extremely strong body, which should improve upon the already stellar results of the outgoing model. Of course, the best way to reduce crash-related injuries is to avoid a crash entirely, and the 2016 Pilot offers a slew of active safety technology to assist with this goal. The Pilot offers Honda's LaneWatch system, a camera-based blind spot assist system, traditional blind spot monitors, a rearview camera with multiple angles, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation …show more content…

Literally. To use this feature, the driver simply sets a speed (like regular cruise control) and a minimum following distance. The vehicle will then maintain the set speed, slowing automatically if a vehicle in front is traveling at a slower speed. This prevents the car from ever coming closer than the minimum following distance, and can even bring the car to a halt if there is a sudden stop ahead. Couple that with Lane Keep Assist, and you have a car that provides complete peace of mind on the highway.

Android Auto
Well designed entertainment is important to customer comfort and to safety, and Honda is leading the way by offering Android Auto on the Accord, with more models to come. As one of the first major automakers to offer this technology, Honda is giving customers the power to control their phone through their vehicle in a natural and safe way. Starting in 2016, customers will be able to use Apps, receive and respond to texts, and play music without having to endanger themselves.

This is however an optimistic outlook and assumes that the technology is failsafe[1]. System failures involving hardware (sensors and other components) and software (programming flaws and unauthorised access (hacking)) have the potential to cause a crash considering that such vehicles are heavily dependent on technology[1]. An attitude of blind confidence in the technology can cause relaxation of safety measures such as dorning safety belts on a personal level increasing the chances of injury in case of a crash[1]. The chances of accidents are forecasted to be higher when autonomous and human driven vehicles are driven together in traffic[1].
