Why should the Carmakers, OEMs and Aftermarket assess this Safety Technology?

Because a high percentage of the vehicles circulating today do not install Safety Systems like FAB, AEB, or V2V Tech connected (vehicles before 2008).

In adverse climatological conditions such as (dense fog, snow storms, intense rain, dust storms, and extreme temperatures), the sensors, cameras, radars, and laser light, have serious problems sending and receiving complete signals without interruptions.

Automatic Emergency Braking is an excellent Active Safety System but in some specific cases requires a Complementary Innovation that works in Redundancy.

In optimal conditions, AEB does its job fine, but with dense Fog, at high speed, or when a dangerous driver gets in the way between your car and the lead vehicle unexpectedly at high speed, the AEB System has to recalculate distance and speed.

It takes several seconds, the most smart is to recover control and use the brake sharply to avoid the crash.

In these critical situations, the SBS conveys complete information about the loss of speed and the intensity of the braking, and if the vehicle is moving or completely stopped.

The combination of both systems offers a plus of safety.

SBS beats the Fog, the big enemy of the Self-driving Car, collaborates with AEB, and reduces Rear-End Collisions.

SBS collaborates with AEB and LIDAR to enhance safe driving in adverse climatological conditions because it works in Redundancy and helps to recover the control between Levels as a consequence of being complementary.

"Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving."

■ Nine percent of fatal crashes in 2017 were reported as distraction-affected crashes.
