Smartphone was not only function to access social media or playing games. Apparently smartphone technology also could help avoid accidents.
The technology being developed by car manufacturer Honda. This technology is designed as such and is integrated in the car's onboard computer and smartphone.
Reported by The Age, Saturday (09/07/2013) how this technology works using radar. To be able to 'talk' to each other, have available a computer chip embedded in vehicles, motorcycles and mobile phones.
Later pedestrians can tell each other where each and detect if they are on a collision course. Warning will appear on the vehicle display and the phone.
The screen will flash on the car if there are pedestrians, and if people keep moving, the display warns the driver to do the braking.
if the driver does not react quickly, the vehicle is programmed to stop automatically.
Embedded technology in the car will be integrated with the braking system, so that these technologies are saving the maximum motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.
Currently research is being conducted at Honda's research and development center in Raymond, Ohio, United States.
Meanwhile, the advanced technology is part of Honda's initiative to avoid the deadly accident.
"Safety is the basic reason we developed this technology," said Senior Vice President of Honda North America, Rick Schostek.
