Motoring News from across the industry The dangers of In-Car Tech A review to look at ways of reducing road casualties and deaths is assessing how in-car technology could be increasing accident risks. A recent survey carried out by Venson Automotive Solutions shows that while only 13% of motorists admit to being side-tracked themselves by in-car technology when driving, 68% said they had noticed an increase in other drivers being distracted by dashboard controls or using their mobile phones. Mini Electric milestone Mini Plant Oxford has hit a significant milestone by building more than 11,000 Mini Electrics since production began. Premiered in July 2019, during the brand’s 60th anniversary year, Mini’s first all-electric model is fully integrated into the production process at Oxford.
The Mini Electric production can be adjusted according to global demand.
The Benefits Of Quieter Reversing Alarms Reversing incidents injure or kill thousands with more than half hit by HGVs. Emily Hardy, a vehicle safety expert at Brigade Electronics, explains how the company worked to solve this issue. She said: “Research has shown that pedestrians had become so used to the sound of traditional tonal ‘beep beep’ alarms that they weren’t hearing them. We worked to create an alternative in the form of ‘white sound’.” Using broadband technology, the alarm called bbs-tek® White Sound® emits a ‘ssh-ssh’ sound, similar to breaking waves, that is highly directional, gentler on the ear and easier for pedestrians to pinpoint.
