Safety

As self-driving cars come into the market, feeling secure within an autonomous vehicle will be primordial. A total of 33 automotive grade sensors (including Sony CMOS sensors) are installed in and outside the car. These provide advanced cruise control, self-parking and auto-lane functions. Software updates allow enhanced performance.

Camera sensors notice nearing cars and pedestrians, advising of their presence before the human eye even notices. In the cabin, three displays provide high visibility, even adjusting to the glare made by headlights from cars behind.

Inside, sensors monitor the driver and passengers. For the driver, the sensors will check their concentration and body to check for fatigue and alert if necessary.

Adaptability

If a rider is listening to music on their earphones as they approach the car, the music will be transferred to the car seamlessly. The car gets to know you and adapts to you. If you are riding in the back seat and in a sleeping patter, the Vision-S adjusts the climate around your seat to make the ride even more comfortable.
