not going to msn- care to share what is the device?
The kid—whose dad is an engineer for Toyota!—came up with the idea for a device that detects when a child is alone in a car, turns on the AC, and sends out alerts/alarms after a period of time.
It’s an in-car motion detector that calls 911 if it senses a small kid alone in a locked car. Hooked up to the AC system to blow cold air until help arrives.
” In about 55 percent of those cases, the parent was unaware the child was in the vehicle, they say.”
They say? How many of you out there with any relationship with a child, parent, aunt/uncle....anything, do not know you have a child in the seat beside you or the back seat. when you pull the car into the parking space? If they are that young, they will be in a car carrier seat big enough that it will not fit in the glove box and you have got to know it is there. I raised two, and sit for my grandkids now on occasion. At no time do I get into a car or exit it do I not look to see what’s in there if for no other reason than to not make it obvious for someone to need to break in and steal my briefcase or laptop..
BTW, where does this device get it’s cool air in a car hot enough to kill a child if it’s attached to the headrest and if you have to put it up and make sure it’s on, wouldn’t you look in the car and see something as large as a child?
This guy’s on his way to competing with ronco.
