The shortcomings of the human driver are getting help from emerging technologies in the guise of navigation systems, engine immobilizers, night vision assistance, automated collision alert, air bag systems, low tyre pressure warning system, and fuzzy logic. The author describes these technologies. In particular the author describes some of the LCD display navigation systems, and intelligent transportation systems, including vehicle location, of which navigation is a component
