These examples of modern car security range from bulletproof luxury cars to email-embedded vehicles that alert drivers in the event of theft. Appealing to connected drivers, these car security innovations include anti-theft apps as well as parking meter monitors that keep track of a vehicle's exact location while warning users when they are close to the end of their meter.
Other standouts include vehicular baby monitors and child alarm apps that ensure safety while preventing forgetful parents from leaving their child inside their vehicle. In addition to these family-focused examples, other favorites include automobile safety multi-tools that are both convenient and compact along with tow-truck sensing stickers that can be attached to a vehicle to warn drivers of potential towing before it occurs.
