According to recent studies by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), crash avoidance features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking are especially effective among drivers under 25. The HLDI performed three separate studies of insurance claims data. The three studies focused on vehicles from Honda, Kia and Subaru. The researchers compared data
