Nexteer & Tactile Mobility Honored with 3 Innovation Awards in China for Road Surface Detection & Early Intuitive Warning Software
Summary
The resulting "virtual sensor" data is transmitted to a cloud service that communicates upcoming danger to trailing vehicles. Giving a heads-up through steering feel influences the driver to intuitively reduce vehicle speed and drive safer. The software resides in the Electric Power Steering system (EPS) and is not influenced by visual interruptions such as fog, heavy rain or field-of-view hiding. Nexteer and Tactile Mobility anticipate that application of their latest software and data analysis breakthrough to reach beyond global automotive OEMs and into adjacent sectors such as automotive insurance carriers to support safer driving, as well as municipalities in streamlining road maintenance and winterization efforts enabling safer communities. Nexteer Automotive (HK 1316) is a global leading motion control technology company accelerating mobility to be safe, green and exciting.
