When the car can look round cornersand automatically summon aid

09/08/2008 | What if our cars knew that a vehicle had broken down just over the next blind summit or that black ice lay in wait in the next hollow? With Car-to-Car and Car-to-Infrastructure communication, drivers can be warned of such dangers long before they suspect it themselves. The Accelerator Force Feedback Pedal (AFFP®) is an acce-lerator pedal, which physically tells the driver to take his foot off the accelerator, either because he will soon need to brake or so that his vehicle can save on gasoline. Head-up displays provide information without the driver having to take his eyes off the road; and, if a serious accident should still occur, Emergency Call (eCall) will automatically alert the rescue services.
