If a driver is preoccupied, or if there’s a disruption to their routine, they can forget and leave their baby in their car – if that car then gets too hot, the result can be lethal. The Infalurt Child Safety System is designed to keep such scenarios fr… Continue reading Infalurt warns drivers of babies forgotten in cars
A new study led by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital has identified a pattern of brain activity that seems to correlate with impairment from cannabis intoxication. The researchers suggest this novel brain-based biomarker could be a way to… Continue reading Roadside brain imaging could assess cannabis driving impairment
Although we’ve seen several systems that use vehicle-integrated cameras to detect intoxicated drivers, a team of Japanese scientists claim that such technology isn’t always reliable. Their alternative? A drunk-driver-detecting car seat.Continue Reading… Continue reading Pressure-sensing seat may one day detect drunk drivers
A new meta-study, led by researchers from the University of Sydney’s Lambert Initiative, has concluded blood or saliva THC concentrations are not effective ways to measure cannabis-induced driving impairment. The findings suggest the need for more nuan… Continue reading Blood or saliva THC levels found to be poor sign of driving impairment
A fascinating new study from a team of US researchers has used machine learning techniques to develop algorithms that can analyze naturalistic driving data and detect mild cognitive impairment and dementia in a driver. The work is still in the preliminary stages, however, the researchers claim it could be possible in the future to detect early signs of dementia using either a smartphone app or devices incorporated into car software systems.

A few decades ago you might have been satisfied with a crude wireframe flight simulator or driving a race car with the WASD keys. Today, gamers expect more realism, and [600,000 milliliters] is no different. At first, he upgraded his race car driving chair and put on VR goggles. But …read more
A novel study investigating the effects of cannabis on driving in a real-world context has found cannabidiol (CBD) alone does not impair driving ability. The landmark finding promises to be invaluable in guiding road safety regulations as cannabis laws… Continue reading World-first cannabis study finds CBD alone doesn’t impair driving ability
Alumni from Innovation Design Engineering at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art want to raise awareness of a road pollution source we rarely consider: tire wear. If you think about it, it is obvious. Our tires wear out, and that has to go somewhere, but what surprises …read more

Remember back when carabiners were designed solely for hanging one thing from another? Nope, us neither. Now, a new multi-purpose ‘biner is claimed to help users get out of crashed vehicles.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTags: Multi-… Continue reading RescueBiner is made to save users from their cars
We tested six popular models of cars and crossovers on the snow and ice to find the answer to the question: How good is your car on snow and ice? For three years, since the inaugural Redline Ice event, we’ve been invited to see what safety systems can … Continue reading Slipping and sliding at the 2020 Redline Ice Winter Driving Experience
