Car with… "eyes" detects pedestrians

In the market the new system in the 2013

"Vision" capable of detecting pedestrians on the road and at the same time instructing the vehicle's "brain" to stop will be acquired by vehicles by 2013.

The system, which will allow the car to see pedestrians and brake, it will consist of two cameras mounted on the windshield.

The two cameras will be able to detect the size of the object in front of the vehicle as well as the distance separating it from the car. Additional, a special radar with sensors will help to detect objects at a distance that will exceed them 180 meters.

Another advantage of the system is that it will allow – thanks to the radar it has – the possibility for the driver to carry out urgent but precise manoeuvres, while moving at high speed.

Specialists from the automotive field, point out that initially the installation cost of the stereoscopic camera system will be particularly high and it is estimated that it will come to market within 2013.
