Why Vehicle Connectivity Enhances Safety

📖 Scenario: You are learning about how modern electric vehicles use connectivity to improve safety on the road. Connected vehicles share information with each other and with traffic systems to prevent accidents and keep drivers informed.

🎯 Goal: Build a simple list of vehicle safety features enabled by connectivity and then filter those features to show only the ones that directly enhance safety.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a list called features with these exact items: 'Automatic Emergency Braking', 'Blind Spot Detection', 'In-Car Entertainment', 'Real-Time Traffic Updates', 'Remote Vehicle Diagnostics'

Create a variable called safety_keywords that holds the list ['Emergency', 'Blind Spot', 'Traffic']

Use a list comprehension to create a new list called safety_features that includes only items from features containing any keyword from safety_keywords

Add a final comment explaining that safety_features now holds only the connectivity features that enhance vehicle safety

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World
