General Motors is coordinating with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to introduce the Belt Assurance System later this year. This feature ensures both the driver and front seat passenger of the vehicle is buckled up– before it goes anywhere. Using the same technology as the airbag system, this optional feature will activate and deactivate based on whether or not someone is in the seat. It will allow you to start the car no matter what, but if there are two front-seat passengers, the car won’t be moving an inch unless both are strapped in.
This is an optional system that will be made available on the 2015 Cruze, Colorado, Silverado, and Sierra later this year. What do you think? Should it come standard in all vehicles or is it more of a nuisance than a help? Join the conversation on our Twitter page and share your opinion!
