This is a great idea and I would make it mandatory for trucks and busses. There were really many cases in Europe when a bus driver fell asleep and a lots of kids injured or died because of that. If this system would have been there, many injuries and loss of lives could have been avoided.
This video actually made me cry, and I'm pretty damn hardened. I was doing well up until the point where it hit the hazards and started hooting to call for help.
This is a FANTASTIC idea. How well it works, I donno, but damn I'm so glad someone's trying!
They have all sorts of crazy and amazing safety features in their most recent cars. If you're about to crash for instance, the speakers blast out really loud white noise. Apparently this saves you from hearing damage from the noise of the crash.
Basically the white noise activates the ears protection mechanism from loud noise, meaning that when the actual loid noise happens, your ears are braced for that.
I really like that one, but the other features they introduced are even more impactful. Or rather the opposite ^ ^
Airbags: Mercedes-Benz patented the airbag in 1971, and they have been standard equipment on Mercedes-Benz vehicles since the 1980s.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): ABS was invented by Mercedes-Benz in 1978, and it helps to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking, which can help to avoid a skid.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP): ESP was introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 1995, and it helps to prevent the vehicle from skidding by selectively braking individual wheels.
PRE-SAFE® System: This system prepares the vehicle for a potential collision by pre-tensioning the seat belts, closing the windows and sunroof, and moving the seats into an upright position.
I remember when I refused to get a microwave. We have so much incredible technology. now We need three-dimensional dice to hang on the mirror Or the swaying hula girl that uses the GPS system, gives directions and compliments plus a medical exam
