New cars are being equipped with collision avoidance systems consisting of radar devices that provide drivers constant information about the proximity of other cars and objects. When the car gets too close to another car or a stationary object, the system applies the brakes and locks the seat belts. Widespread implementation of these systems will significantly reduce the number of car accidents.
The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
A. The collision avoidance system will only prevent accidents involving cars that are both equipped with the system.
B. Most accidents the collision system prevents would involve careless drivers.
C. Even very attentive drivers cause some accidents.
D. The collision avoidance system will not otherwise affect the performance of the car.
E. There are not a significant numbers of accidents that must be avoided by not engaging the car’s brakes.
The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
A. The collision avoidance system will only prevent accidents involving cars that are both equipped with the system.
B. Most accidents the collision system prevents would involve careless drivers.
C. Even very attentive drivers cause some accidents.
D. The collision avoidance system will not otherwise affect the performance of the car.

The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
A. The collision avoidance system will only prevent accidents involving cars that are both equipped with the system.
the description of the involvment of other vehicles or anything else is not discussed because two cars are not always involved.
B. Most accidents the collision system prevents would involve careless drivers.
Careless drivers is out of scope.
C. Even very attentive drivers cause some accidents.
The attentivenes of the drivers is out of scope.
D. The collision avoidance system will not otherwise affect the performance of the car.
The performance of the car is not being discussed as only the anti accident mechanism is discussed.
E. There are not a significant numbers of accidents that must be avoided by not engaging the car’s brakes.
While the anti accident system works by aplying brakes when the sensors sense the accidental distance.ther is no other way it avoids the accidents,so that would mean that accidents that could not be avoided by applying brakes will still occure.

How will the new system avoid accidents --> the system applies the brakes and locks the seat belts.
E fills in the blanks - There are not a significant numbers of accidents that must be avoided by not engaging the car’s brakes.
The system applies the brakes and locks the seat belts. There are not a significant numbers of accidents that must be avoided by not engaging the car’s brakes.Hence, it can be concluded that widespread implementation of these systems will significantly reduce the number of car accidents.
If we negate E, then we won't be able to reduce the number of car accidents significantly. Hence, conclusion is affected.
