The Future of Safety is Today
Autonomous vehicles are the future, and in some cases, the present. While the debate is now whether to go completely autonomous or add a feature one step at a time, many of these safety solutions already exist.
While Ford has teamed up with Mobileye and Delphi have teamed up to create an off the shelf self-driving system, The Mobileye Collision Avoidance System is available from Rear View Safety. This system features many built-in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including lane departure warnings, forward collision warnings and pedestrian/bicycle collision warnings.
The Lukas Dual Lens Dash Camera With GPS and ADAS is a full HD two lens dash camera that also features GPS and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. The dash cam has over a terabyte of total recording capabilities and records onto 2 SD cards. Existing safety technology isn’t limited to these advanced driver assistance systems.
Many different systems protect you and your family in very different ways. A recent study by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association highlighted the dangers of drowsy driving. Rear View Safety’s Vuemate Driver Fatigue System and Driver Fatigue Monitoring System stop drowsy driving before it becomes a dangerous problem. The Brilliant Backseat Reminder System was designed to combat vehicular heatstroke. A moderate audio alarm activates when you leave the car without your cargo, be it children, pets, or valuables. If the system is not turned off after 40 seconds, the vehicle’s horn is activated to get your attention. 27 children in the U.S. have died from heatstroke after being left in cars in 2016 so far. While these systems are not currently in autonomous vehicles, they can help keep everyone in your family safe.
So while you may see fully autonomous Uber’s zipping around your neighborhood in the not too distant future, remember much of the technology has been here for a while.
