• Resumen

  • Discusses the deployment of a driver-alert sensor by Nissan North America. Description of the system, which is designed to keep vehicles safely inside traffic lanes. Nissan's luxury division, Infiniti, has adopted for some of its models an innovative electronic system that warns a driver when a car veers out of a lane. Developed by engineers at Valeo, a component supplier based in Auburn Hills, Mich., and Iteris, an Anaheim, Calif., maker of auto sensors, the new traffic-lane monitoring device alerts a driver when a vehicle wanders outside lane boundaries, a condition that is detected when he or she fails to engage the direction indicators. It will be offered this fall in North America on Infiniti's 2005 FX crossover sport utility vehicle.
