If you're buying a new car, collision-prevention technology is typically offered as a
pre-installed feature. Cars.com notes that forward-collision technology on a 2014
Ford Fusion sedan costs $995 and includes adaptive cruise control. Subaru's
EyeSight system adds $1,295 to some 2014 Legacy sedans. EyeSight uses two
cameras in its lane-departure warning and has adaptive cruise control and
automatic braking, according to Cars.com. (See "How to insure your brand-new
