Exposing the Flaws in “Smart” Safety Systems


Crash Avoidance Technology Failures

 

Crash avoidance systems are designed to prevent accidents before they happen. From automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings to adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring, these technologies promise safer roads. But when cars are not properly equipped, or when the systems fail, the results are devastating — high-speed collisions, rollovers, and catastrophic injuries that could have been prevented.


At McCartney Stucky, we handle complex litigation involving defective crash avoidance technology. Our attorneys partner with top automotive engineers and safety experts to uncover design flaws, sensor errors, and system failures that manufacturers too often overlook. When automakers put profits over safety, we hold them accountable.
