This not only helps protect your investment but also aids in bringing criminals to justice.
Another vital aspect of these systems is their ability to speed up responses from emergency services after an accident. Thanks to black box technology, similar to what airplanes use, these systems can alert first responders immediately when a collision occurs, providing them with critical information like the crash site’s precise location and the severity of the impact ahead of time.
This ensures that help arrives as soon as possible, potentially saving lives in the process. At Tom Tepe Autocenter & Car Country, we believe staying connected and protected on the road has never been easier or more crucial with these innovative technologies integrated into modern vehicles.

Our team at Tom Tepe Autocenter understands these challenges and is here to guide you through selecting a vehicle equipped with smart technologies designed for both protection and enjoyment.
With us, explore how intelligent car tech can elevate your driving experience while ensuring your security on Indiana roads.
Improved safety
Our team at Tom Tepe Autocenter understands that safety is a top concern for vehicle shoppers. That’s why we are excited about the latest in-car technologies designed to protect you and your loved ones on the road.

Potential for distraction
While in-car technology indeed improves safety, it also brings potential distractions into the cabin. Modern vehicles offer a host of features designed to keep you connected while on the move.
From in-car entertainment systems that let passengers watch movies to advanced navigation tools that suggest quicker routes, these technologies make every drive more enjoyable and efficient.
However, using such features requires attention that should be on the road.
Interacting with touchscreens for climate control or adjusting your route can take eyes off the road even if just for a second. Voice-activated phone integration might seem hands-free, but it still requires a mental focus that could lead to distracted driving.
Every year, nearly half a million people are injured in accidents caused by drivers not paying full attention to driving due to modern technology’s lure. At Tom Tepe Autocenter, we emphasize the importance of using these technologies responsibly.
Ensuring that they enhance rather than hinder your driving experience is key to staying safe on Indiana roads.
Cybersecurity risks
As car technology gets smarter, so do the threats to their security. Our team at Tom Tepe Autocenter wants our customers to know that your safety drives us, especially when it involves protecting you from cybersecurity risks.
The truth is, with advancements like connected car apps and smart systems designed for safety and convenience—like lane departure warning systems, automatic emergency braking, and even features as simple as your digital key—vehicles are now more vulnerable than ever to cyber-attacks.
Hackers can remotely access a vehicle’s systems, leading to data privacy concerns or, worse, taking control of car functions.
Our industry faces challenges such as keyless thefts and ransomware attacks that target vehicles’ software. These aren’t just theories; they’re real threats identified within the automotive sector.
Despite these risks, many manufacturers lag behind in fortifying their vehicles against such vulnerabilities. It emphasizes not only the need for robust cybersecurity measures but also for ongoing vigilance by everyone involved—from automakers to drivers themselves.
At Tom Tepe Autocenter & Car Country, we prioritize equipping our customers with knowledge on how to protect their connected vehicles from potential cyber threats while enjoying the latest in-car technology safely and securely.

It’s a game-changer for avoiding accidents, especially when human reflexes might not be quick enough. At Tom Tepe Autocenter & Car Country, we’re excited about these advancements because they represent significant steps toward reducing distracted driving incidents and making roads safer for everyone in our community.
Connected cars and electric vehicles
