Child Presence Detector And Warning System

As technology in automobiles continues to improve, the debate over driverless cars has become more frequent. A self-driving car is able to move and navigate on its own using sensors and programming technology without human control. Many people believe the development of driverless cars would be beneficial because they could reduce the risk of hitting another car. The sensors and navigation would be able to avoid accidents, while drivers usually get distracted and would be able to use their time leisurely in the car. A self-driving car may allow people to drive when unable to in the past, such as children and disabled persons, and can be more cost-effective due to cheaper insurance. However, self-driving cars could be extremely expensive and can easily malfunction and therefore not always reliable, while also decreasing the safety of pedestrians and children who may attempt to use the car without permission. With new technology and distractions, driver’s minds can easily wander and become preoccupied. Technology can easily malfunction, and something as small as my phone or a light bulb will glitch frequently. I often see cars stranded on the side of the road because the engine went out or broke down; imagine how catastrophic an accident could be if a sensor in the car went out. Driverless cars are not beneficial to society because while there are favorable aspects of a self-driving car, one can malfunction and add new risks to the road, as well as potentially hurting the

In this article, Peters and Peters discuses about the risk of multitasking while driving. Not only they propose a problem, but also tries to give the reader an alternative ways of preventing the cause of an accident. He gives us three-risk factors that can reduce the chances of getting into an accident. They suggest having a printed and audible warning to warn the drivers not to use the device unless the vehicle is not moving, an integrated system “which all device are either shut off or out of driver’s sight when the vehicle is in motion” and finally, “ marketing and dealer restraint”. If these warnings are available in the vehicle, there should be a less chance to be distracted and cause an accident and also, this can be useful thing to create in the vehicle to remind the driver not to multitask while

According to the article “Child Vehicular Stroke Fact Sheet” from KidsAndCars.org, “The average number of U.S. child vehicular heat stroke deaths is 37 per year.” That is one death of a child every nine days. Although, some individuals may or may not have unintentionally left their children in the car. A majority of parents that left their child in the vehicle unknowingly did it. However, there is a small percentage of parents that knowingly left their child unattended in the vehicle. In some cases, the child even entered the vehicle on their own without the parent or caregiver noticing in time. Statistics of child vehicular heat stroke deaths reveal that 54.25% of parents unknowingly left their child in the vehicle, 11.58% knowingly left their child in the vehicle, and 33.58% of the children entered the vehicle by themselves without parents or caregivers noticing in a reasonable amount of time (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). Some individuals, usually non-parents, believe that it is completely absurd to forget a child is in the vehicle. However, the most dangerous mistake a parent or caregiver can make is to think leaving a child alone in a vehicle could never happen to them or their family (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). A heat stroke can be extremely lethal to young children if it is not recognized and treated in time.

A parent might leave their child in the car for many reasons, some might not even make sense, but they do it anyway. They might leave their child in the car because they have to run in the store or something to doing things real quick, but not realize how long they have been in the store.

Cars with built-in systems are not without their faults. Other than their limited availability and high cost, it is also rare to find a car that has all the features of collision avoidance systems available. Often times car manufacturers will only offer the warning systems without the features that can actually control a car independent of a driver. Also these systems do not guarantee that the vehicle will not get into a crash even when the car can control its speed and tire position. Another problem is that the system is directly integrated into the pieces of the car such as the bumper, mirrors, etc. which makes repairs extremely expensive.
