A car that detects "clandestine" pedestrians
If when we drive a car a ball appears in front of us, we know that it will not be a child very far, even if we do not see it. But there are not always bullets that alert the driver, and at any time a pedestrian can appear that we have not seen through cars parked. Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Munich have invented a system to deal with the problem: a branch of antennas is placed in the car and transponders are placed in the clothes of pedestrians or on the phone that reflect the signals. The car emits the signal and, if the transponsor reflects it, a computer calculates the distance to which the pedestrian is located and makes decisions: either it does nothing, or it emits a sound to alert the driver, or it stops the car suddenly. The system is expected to start being marketed around 2020, as reported by the Basque Department of Security.
