Valeo Launches Lane Departure Technology at New York Auto Show
http://motiongraphics.info/Video/it.movWho: Valeo, a $10 billion global automotive supplier.
What: Valeo recently announced the launch of its innovative lane departure technology at the New York Auto Show. The system, developed by Valeo utilizing Iteris technology, will debut on the 2005 Infiniti FX and 2006 Infiniti M45. The two Infiniti models will be the first passenger vehicles to feature lane departure warning technology in North America.
The system consists of a miniature video sensor that uses proprietary software algorithms to continuously monitor the lane markings in front of the vehicle. During unintentional lane departures -- detected when the driver fails to use the turn signal when traveling over 45 miles-per-hour, a warning tone sounds and alerts the driver to take corrective actions.
