Honda will warn accidents with a belt

Honda Introduces Smart Car Seat Belt

Honda Motor Company unveils smart seat belt technology. This is reported by The Japan Times.

The Japanese corporation said in a statement that it has begun integrating artificial intelligence into its vehicles to warn drivers of road accidents. The company said it hopes to achieve zero deaths in road accidents caused by human error by 2050.

One of the features of the car equipped with sensors and cameras called the presence of a smart belt, which is equipped with a tension adjustment mechanism. So, in the event of a sudden appearance of pedestrians on the road, the belt will stretch, thus giving a signal to the driver to brake. If the owner of the car tries to move to an adjacent lane while overtaking by another participant in the movement, the car will give a sound signal through the speakers built into the cabin. Also, vibration motors are built into the seat of a smart car. If the system of the car, through biometric sensors, understands that the driver is falling asleep, the latter will feel the vibration. The company explained the need to improve the safety of the car, including by the fact that the average driver's age has increased dramatically.

Earlier it became known that Tesla cars would forcibly turn on the dashcam when the autopilot was activated. According to representatives of the company, the recorded videos can be used in the investigation of an accident.
