Make certain to address the following elements in your essay:
List and describe at least two current onboard monitoring systems, and demonstrate how the new CVT reports information better than the current methods of onboard technology.
List what types of vehicles you think would benefit from the use of this type of technology.
How can drivers be trained on the performance of these types of technologies?
How can it help mitigate potential safety problems and lower the risk of accidents?
