kscarbel2 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 This new technology was on display at the 64th IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover, Germany. The AutoVue Lane Departure Warning system brings a substantial improvement in lane recognition. SafetyDirect is a kind of "black box" that records vehicle data not continuously but only in critical situations. The data acquired can be used for driver training purposes, and as a source of information following an accident. Through the use of radar and video-based intelligent environment sensor systems, the functionalities of the EBS (electronic braking system) and ABS brake control systems relating to driver assistance systems can be substantially expanded.Though an America name for decades, Bendix is owned by Germany's Knorr-Bremse AG.
