Due to the cramped out space in cities resulting from
increasing population and rising No. of vehicles, driving is becoming
tougher with each passing day. Hence the need for driver assist
technology. The driver assist technologies are meant not only for safer
driving but also to help you reach at your destination in time. Here
we’re putting 5 driver assist technologies that will not only make
driving fun but safe at the same time.

2. Wake-Up Angle Vibrating Anti-Sleep Device
Description:
Feel drained after a long day at work and now have to
drive back home. A sleepy state can prove to be dangerous specially
while driving. To make sure that you don’t catch up on your forty winks
while driving, a device named Wake-Up Angle has was designed by The
Design Town in the year 2007. Resembling a hearing-aid, the device is
positioned behind the ear. Whenever the driver’s head bends forward,
below the safe angel, the Wake-Up Angle starts vibrating which in turn
stirs up the person behind the wheel.
3. BMW develops automatic parking system
Description:
So,
you love your Beemer but every time you have to park it in your tight
garage your heart stops beating. How can you see your beauty on wheels
get wounded, that too while parking? Well, to kill all such woes BMW has
developed a robotic parking system. All you have to do is press a
remote-control button and see the parking-assist technology place your
car wherever you want. Just relax and see your car maneuver through the
parking lot or your garage. A demo of this technology was shown at
Munich headquarters recently.
4. Satellite Navigation System

5. Volvo’s Pedestrian Detection with automatic brakes
Description:
The
reaction time goes for a toss while driving when someone suddenly
emerges in front of the car. This can prove to be quite a disaster,
throwing you behind bars and the pedestrian in a hospital. Just to avoid
any such situation a “Pedestrian Detection” technology along with
automatic brakes has been embedded in Volvo’s S60 sedan. It will
intelligently sense anyone who gets in the way and if the driver fails
to respond will apply brakes and make the vehicle freeze. But if you are
driving above 22mph, speed of the vehicle will be reduced to desirable
levels avoiding any serious crashes.
