Mazda has drawn attention to the fact it is currently working on a range of car parts designed to help keep drivers of its vehicles safe.

The manufacturer pointed out most accidents are caused by mistakes made by the person at the wheel.

It stated: "Mazda’s research and development programmes aim to produce measures to counter such human errors when they occur and even to eliminate the causes of human error altogether."

One device the company has already created in a bid to protect its customers is the Emergency Signal System.

This technology automatically activates the hazard lights when it detects sudden and heavy braking at speeds of above 50 mph in order to alert drivers following behind the car that there is a problem.

In addition, the group has developed a Rear Vehicle Monitoring System to ensure motorists do not move into busy lanes.

Meanwhile, it was recently announced the new Mazda CX-7 is due to arrive in UK showrooms at the beginning of November.
