MOBIS autonomous technology concept controls vehicle if driver falls asleep

The Departed Driver Rescue and Exit Manoeuvre (DDREM) technology being developed by Hyundai Mobis detects critical situations where the driver is unable to control the vehicle due to falling asleep, suffering a heart attack or other health condition. It then mitigates the risk of a crash by taking control of the vehicle and guiding it to safety. DDREM technology is designed to run in the background of a vehicle, in the same way as stability control, airbags and seatbelts, and if it detects a critical

The Departed Driver Rescue and Exit Manoeuvre (DDREM) technology being developed by 1684 Hyundai Mobis detects critical situations where the driver is unable to control the vehicle due to falling asleep, suffering a heart attack or other health condition. It then mitigates the risk of a crash by taking control of the vehicle and guiding it to safety. DDREM technology is designed to run in the background of a vehicle, in the same way as stability control, airbags and seatbelts, and if it detects a critical situation it will use level 4 autonomous technology to bring the vehicle to a position of safety.

    The US Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is to begin taking steps to enable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology for light vehicles. This technology would improve safety by allowing vehicles to communicate with each other and ultimately avoid many crashes altogether by exchanging basic safety data, such as speed and position, ten times per second. DOT research indicates that safety applications using V2V technology can address a large

    A fledgling advanced lane management assist system can take the guesswork out of selecting the right lane on a congested freeway, as its inventor Robert Gordon explains. As drivers we’ve all done it and control room staff see it all the time – motorists on congested freeways switching into what they perceive is a faster lane, only to come to a halt a few moments later and watch vehicles in the other lanes continue to move past. Now, by re-analysing readily available data in an advanced lane management as
