This SUV has a lot of technology that is unfamiliar to many people. Some of this technology, including its safety features, are new and only available on a few vehicles, so let's take a closer look at this incredible technology and safety features.

The 2021 Chevy Bolt EV has several tech and safety features, some of which come stand, and others must be added as an upgrade to your trim.

The most notable technology is the new Super Cruise – first, it has a few exceptions as to where it can be used. It is not a button. You can simply push any place you want. Second, super Cruise can only be used on compatible roads. At this time, there are only about 200,000 miles of roads that are compatible with supercruise in the United States and Canada, while China has another 180,000 miles of compatible roads.

Drivers can not use Super Cruise on city streets. It is to be used on roads separated from oncoming traffic, which means the roads it is compatible with are highways with a divider, whether it is cement or a large grassy field – the point is Super Cruise is not fully autonomous. It does not work solely on its own accord.

The supercruise works with adaptive cruise control. Super Cruise has a Driver Attention System that sends out warnings to the driver, reminding them to pay careful attention to what's going around them and to steer the SUV manually when necessary.

As previously noted, Super Cruise is neither a self-driving nor a collision-avoidance system. On appropriate roads, it merely allows for hands-free driving. A driver must always keep their eyes on the road and be ready to take control of the car at any minute.

The 2021 Chevy Bolt EV connects through your smartphone. It also has incorporated Wi-Fi hotspots. It can also communicate with its driver remotely via a smartphone app, which can be set up to provide charging alerts and to connect with nearby charging networks.

The infotainment system has a 12-inch screen. With climate control built-in and it has Alexa onboard, streaming music, news, podcasts, audiobooks, weather alerts, and a navigational system, so you never get lost during your travels. The navigational system is also essential for finding roads that are compatible with super cruise.

As mentioned above - a semi-autonomous driving mode with adaptive cruise control. Automatic emergency brakes with pedestrian detection. The Bolt must be traveling at least 50 MPH for this feature to be activated. It is more difficult to use during the night because the sensors do not pick up pedestrians as easily in the dark, so you as the driver must always be alert and not depend solely on your driver and safety assistance features.

The SUV also has blind-spot monitoring, front-side-rear collision avoidance, 360-degree cameras so you can see everything in front, on the sides, and behind your vehicle. This helps with avoiding backing into parked or moving cars, pedestrians, and other objects.

Automatic high beams are a nice driver feature. They turn on automatically and turn off when they sense an oncoming vehicle and then turn back on once the vehicle has passed.

LED daytime headlamps, ten airbags, lane drift alerts, lane changing alerts (if there is a vehicle in the lane you are trying to get to, you will be altered, pedestrian warning system alerts pedestrians that the car is approaching. There is no engine in the Bolt EV; therefore, there is no noise. The alert system provides a humming noise to alert pedestrians of an oncoming vehicle.

The teen driver feature allows parents to preset speed limits, monitor their teen while driving, and produce a report so parents know what areas their teen may need help while driving.

The technology and safety features on the 2021 Chevy Bolt EV are great for successful uneventful trips. Some of the features have been given awards for their excellence and high standards. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded the Chevy Bolt EV five stars with a few four-star ratings sprinkled in for the SUVs safety features, with an overall safety rating of five stars.
