Steering wheel driver instructs drivers when they are dazzled

Experts at Reno University in Nevada have designed the world's first vibration steering system to guide drivers when they are sunbathing or driving in bad weather. rainstorms, fogs) restricting temporal vision.

Vehicles equipped with vibrating chairs can alert the driver when another vehicle is approaching the "blind spot" - the blinded area - to stop the car in time. But the steering wheel vibration system can help the driver go forward using tactile warning signals. It works based on vehicle sensors, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and lane tracking cameras, to map the road ahead as well as locate the vehicle.

For example, when the sensors detect a dazzling driver and drive a lane, the vibration system is activated at frequencies up to 275 hertz (perceptible through the skin). Because the signal is aimed at the direction, so if the car goes to the left, the steering wheel will vibrate and stop when the driver to the car to the right.

The system has been successfully tested in hypothetical situations for 12 volunteers. Experts believe the new steering wheel will significantly reduce accidents caused by blind drivers.
