Modern cars always have one advantage: modern technology. And while we are mainly still asking ourselves the question of gasoline or diesel, safety and assistance technology is making great strides forward. In many cases, a modern car today has assistance systems that make driving itself safer. Before leaving the lane, a “departure warning” warns, if the distance to the vehicle in front is too short, the distance warning warns and so on. Security based on electronic assistants.
Retrofitting security: This is possible with Mobileye!
Retrofit driver assistance systems? For the first time possible!
The Israeli company “Mobileye” quickly grew from a start-up to an important supplier of software and technology solutions for the automotive industry.
The components of the Mobileye system can also be found in the assistance systems known from the major automobile manufacturers. Now that the market for new cars has been covered, the company now wants to establish “safety technology” in used cars as well.
Safety technology does not have to be expensive!
The system won't cost € 1.000. In return, however, the driver receives a “safety buddy” who takes care of the following scenarios:
- Collision Warning (FCW)
- Pedestrian Detection (PCW)
- Distance monitoring (HMW)
- Lane Keeping Warning (LDW)
- Speed warning (SLI)
Five security wizards that can be upgraded with Mobileye.
FCW: One of the most important functions is the “Forward Collision Warning”. So the warning of a rear-end collision. Mobileye supports the attention of the driver and warns of “dicey” situations.
Avoid points in Flensburg!
But Mobileye not only recognizes possible risk situations, Mobileye also recognizes speed signs, compares the indicated speed with the actually driven one and “warns” the driver of a speed limit violation. Mobileye thus protects the driver from a possible administrative offense and the associated consequences such as points in the traffic offender register in Flensburg or the fine for driving too fast.
The installation will be done by Mobileye!
Installation and calibration on site are already included in the purchase price for Mobileye. A Mobileye technician installs the system in the vehicle and then configures it. It is necessary to adjust the system when it is installed. This is the only way to ensure that the advantages of the “Mobileye Assistant” can be used correctly in every vehicle.
The installation of the assistant in the vehicle and the configuration takes barely more than a good hour. Then you installed the modern assistance systems in your own, possibly many years old, used vehicles - that's what we call the democratization of security technology!
