1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Heather do for seel either.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 2: I like Anita Baker. She's just getting on with the job,

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: no complaining, well done. She actually she's a bloody good sort. Actually,

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to talking about this business. I'm

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: going to get back to that shortly eighteen past five.

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: I've got some great news for you. New data shows

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: we're having fewer crashes every year, and it's a pair apparently,

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: thanks to all of the tech we've got in our cars,

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: collisions have dropped seven percent each year for the last

10
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: two years. This is according to the AMI Motor Reports.

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: Terry Collins is the AA Transports Principal Policy Advisor and

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: is with us. Hi Terry, Yeah, hi, Hew, are you well?

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: Thank you? What kind of tech is helping us to

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: stop the crashes.

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: Well, there's a whole bunch of tech. Someone's like adaptive

16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: cruise control, where you seat your speed and it keeps

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: the same distance behind the vehicle. There's autonomous emergency breaking

18
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: schemes which if you get too close to something your

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: break supply emergency immediately sorry lane departure, you start drifting

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: around the road, it either gives you an audio warning

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: or it gives you a physical tug on the steering wheel.

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Do you reckon that stuff actually really makes a difference.

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Well, they reckon the Warnash University, one of the leading

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: transport researchers. So is that if we put a toneless

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: urgency braking in all our vehicles, we will have the

26
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: amount of rearing accidents and we will and the fatal

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: accidents will go down by a corner.

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: So this, I mean, this is just driver in attention,

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's sort of like it just snaps you

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: out of the little feud state that you've gone into.

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: They called a systems for a reason, they don't they

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: not ordinary?

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: I hate them.

34
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, look that actually if you can't navigate responsibility to

35
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: an engaged, alert, responsible driver. But we know that accidents

36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: occur when people try to do their best and does

37
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: something's happened through an attention. What they do is they

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: give you that physical warning or they apply the brakes

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: when something happens unexpectedly, and the results show themselves that

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: they're reducing these accidents.

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Now, the cameras with the parallel parking, now that is

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: an absolute game changer, isn't it.

43
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh, Which is for a lot of people, it's has

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: given them the confidence that they need park I've had

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: a car with a three hundred and sixty degree camera

46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: that looks down on you. And believe me, I think

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm a good driving can part, but I still use

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: that technology.

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: That stuff is amazing. Can you explain we're having a

50
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: debate on the text at the moment about why all

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: of the you know, nine of the top ten crash

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: sites are in Auckland. I'm saying it's just population. Other

53
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: people are saying it's because we're all distracted jaffers on

54
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: our phones. What is it.

55
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's the latter. I'd say it's the former,

56
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: and I'd say it's to do with the DCU, the

57
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: traffic on the road as well. You're more what was

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: closer to you. They're trying to get me quickly. It's

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: just a whole bunch of things that are all working

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: to correct those crash sites.

61
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, good on you, Terry, Thank you. I appreciate that.

62
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Look after yourself. Terry Collins, AA Transport Principle Policy Advisor.
