AWS-4000 collision warning

by Wayne Cunningham


In urban areas, distractions for drivers abound, both outside and inside the car. The AWS-4000 cuts through those distractions to concentrate on what's directly ahead, sounding a very audible warning when a collision is imminent. With its forward-facing camera, the AWS-4000 is a remarkable bit of technology, able to identify cars in the lane ahead and determine your following distance. It even identifies lane lines, as long as they are prominent, and lets you know when you've drifted over.

Read our review of the AWS-4000 collision warning camera.

You wanna reduce collisions? Require the installation of a short-range cell phone radio jammer that engages while the engine is running. Nothing like keeping BOTH hands on the wheel and your mind on the task of DRIVING to make you a safer driver!

We should have drivers in this country go through a rigorous driving test like they do in Europe. That will filter out the losers who can't drive. They can take mass transit and save the environment while they're at it.
