One of the most renowned British car manufacturer Jaguar is making all the possible efforts to reduce the road accidents. The latest technology by the company will be sensing driver's moves to let him know about the concentration while driving through his pulse, heart rate, respiration and brain activity as well. These things will measure the stress, fatigue and lack of concentration and will inform by pulsing or vibrating the acceleration pedal. Well, it definitely sounds innovative for sure.
Jaguar and Land Rover Director of Research and Technology, Dr. Wolfgang Epple said “We believe some of the technologies currently being used in aerospace and medicine could help improve road safety and enhance the driving experience. The car is becoming more intelligent and more able to utilize cutting-edge sensors. These research projects are investigating how we could exploit this for the benefit of our customers and other road users.” He further added, “One key piece of new research is to see we could measure brainwaves to monitor if the driver is alert and concentrating on driving. Even if the eyes are on the road, a lack of concentration or a daydream will mean the driver isn't paying attention to the driving task. The may miss a warning icon or sound, or be less aware of other road users so we are looking at how we could identify this and prevent it causing an accident.”
Well, seems like the technology is growing insanely and if the above one comes true, then it would be surely be a revolutionary for saving thousands of life every year around the world.
