The engineers at Mobileye claim they have the solution to automobile accidents caused by texting teens and sleepy drivers. The Netherlands-based company says its Advanced Warning System product line has efficient technology that will alert any distracted driver. Mobileye’s product line offers systems that combine forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and headway monitoring– such as the C2-170 and the AWS-4000– for accident avoidance and driver behavior documentation.

Mobileye’s C2-170 has audio and visual alerts by a color-coded LED display and buzzer. Similarly Mobileye’s AWS-4000 offers audio and visual alerts with a color-coded display, but also has numerical alerts and dedicated speakers. When the driver is drifting into another lane or approaching an oncoming vehicle too quickly, these devices will signal them with audio and visual warnings.

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation

Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.
