Story03 Supporting Daily Safe Driving
Vehicles are indispensable means of connecting people and society. However, people feel uneasy or hesitant about driving for a variety of reasons, including finding it difficult to move their bodies as they age, or lacking confidence in their driving skills. Our technology is meant for those suffering with this problem. We support safe driving by providing both necessary advice and support for physical functions.
Support for Physical Functions
We do not just automate driving, but support physical and cognitive functions. We help improve seeing, hearing, and understanding, creating more time for judgment and allowing ease of driving.
Examples of the value we deliver and the technologies that make it possible
- Multi-display integrated control, centered on the heads-up display (HUD), minimizes the driver’s cognitive burden by reducing viewpoint movement, so they can enjoy driving safely and comfortably
- Sound system with sound image localization control that allows drivers to intuitively understand changes in their surroundings in the vehicle just as they would outside, and quickly adapt their driving
Safety Awareness and Habituation
A mascot that gently and enjoyably teaches you how to drive safely. It also diagnoses whether your current driving is safe or not. It helps make safe driving a habit.
Examples of the value we deliver and the technologies that make it possible
- Intervention control that encourages drivers to change their behavior and make safe driving a habit
- Driving behavior sensing to promote safe driving by learning about dangerous or unsafe driving habits that are difficult for drivers to recognize by themselves
