Honda Crash Detection System


Posted by michael on Thursday June 19, @10:07AM
from the pre-crash,-that-is dept.
MImeKillEr writes "MSNBC is reporting that Honda Motor Co. unveiled an early crash-detection system for one of their vehicles. The system is unique in working even before the driver responds. A radar in the front of the car stashed behind the Honda logo detects vehicles within a range of about 300 feet ahead. It then taps the brake and tightens the seatbelt. A buzzer goes off and a light on the dash is illuminated. If the driver responds, the braking power is boosted. If the driver fails to respond, the system kicks in and brakes more while also tightening the seat belt. Unfortunately, Japanese regulations don't allow for the system to fully stop the vehicle."

that should help the riceboys when they are adjusting their backwards visors...

Seems sketchy, someone is bound to get rear ended in one of those cars.

rear ending is not my problem, its the guy behind mes problem driving a ford.

300 feet is a long way though, people cut me off with about 6" of space on the I every day.
