How automakers are trying to prevent hot car deaths
by 8DonCo Sat Aug 06, 2022 8:17 am
Korean automaker Hyundai first rolled out its Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert sensor in the Palisade SUV for model year 2020. The sophisticated sensing-based alert sets off blinking lights, honks the horn and sends a text message via Hyundai's telematics Bluelink connected car system, directing the driver to immediately check the back seat. Though the Ultrasonic technology is only available in select models for now, a Hyundai spokesperson said a Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system comes standard in 99% of the company's vehicles. When the driver shut offs the vehicle, a reminder pops up on the instrument panel to check the rear seat.
"We're trying to be pioneers in this space," Brian Latouf, chief safety officer of Hyundai Motor North America, told ABC News. "We're paying close attention to this issue and messaging and communication are important."
The 2020 model year Palisade SUV was the first Hyundai vehicle to offer the Ultrasonic sensor technology.
Right now there are limitations to the Ultrasonic sensor, Latouf noted. The vehicle has to be locked for an alert to be sent via the Bluelink system and not all Hyundai drivers are connected to the Bluelink app. The ultrasonic sensor looks for motion so a sleeping child may not trigger the system, he added. The vehicle, however, will still honk and display the "check rear seat" message on the instrument panel dash.

Tui nghỉ mấy cái technology này 0 khó làm nhưng mấy nước kia họ 0 chịu offer vì sẽ open thêmselves up for lawsuits nếu cái sensor 0 trigger hoặc notifications 0 gửi đi cho tới đúng người/đúng nơi!
Also, số người có con nhỏ mới mua thành thử ra demand cũng 0 nhiều.

not really, Korea goes first , that 's the true
The industry committed in 2019 to placing a back seat reminder in every new vehicle by 2025.
