If there is a risk, it will alert the driver and prevent accidents. The driver's distraction, drowsiness, closed eyes, and posture loss are detected by an in-vehicle camera[*1].
Feeling safe gives you the freedom to be the best driver you can be, to concentrate on enjoying the road ahead and feel your spirits lifted by the experience of driving a MAZDA. That’s why we focus not just on what safety prevents, but also on what it makes possible.
OUR PHILOSOPHY

MAZDA's safety philosophy is based on understanding, respecting, and trusting the driver. To drive safely you need to be able to spot potential hazards and use your best judgement to react accordingly. We also understand that you are only human and that accidents can happen, despite best intentions, so we have a range of technologies that help to monitor driver's condition, prevent mishaps or reduce the damage done. We call our vision MAZDA PROACTIVE SAFETY.
