OT: Volvo's Heartbeat Sensor...

________________________________ Heartbeat sensor warns if anyone is inside the car

The heartbeat sensor registers the vibration of a beating heart - both human and animal. The sensor is activated if, for instance, a sleeping child has been left in the child seat and the driver locks the door. A signal is transmitted to the remote control unit, which alerts the driver via a combination of audible signals and vibration pulses.

The heartbeat sensor is also activated if anyone enters the car and hides inside it. In such a case, the driver is not alerted automatically; instead, he or she must manually request this information within a distance of 300 feet from the car.

If the sensor is activated, the remote control unit transmits a quiet signal so that the driver can withdraw without being detected, so as to avoid a more threatening situation. The alternative is for the driver to press the "panic" button, which activates the car alarm to scare off the intruder. ________________________________

How about they focus on...I dont know...Sounding an alarm BEFORE someone gets into your freak'n car? Dumbest thing ever but then again people are gullable and will buy anything. Next they'll come out with a fart sensor that emits a pleasant odor, and a sneeze sensor that dispenses tissues, and a constipation sensor that administors an enema... (Copyright BlahBlah 2007)
