SmartNAV, a smart navigational system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle communication, as well as incident report information from local municipalities to provide real-time traffic routing, reducing the probability of accidents and traffic congestion.
SafetyNet enables vehicle-to-vehicle communication. It allows each vehicle to know the location, direction and speed of other vehicles on the road. These data are used to engage the safety belt system and warning system during a crash.
Digital instrument cluster is reconfigurable and presents these data to the driver in a seamless fashion, allowing the driver to quickly and intuitively identify what the vehicle is telling the driver.
