Functional prototypes have been tested by several car companies and we have completed our first non-exclusive license with a major Tier One supplier. It appears to me there are several people interested in this type of development through this site and I would be please to provide more information directly - n95to@aol.com.

Is this system only for Nissan cars? Actually, I am a researcher who is investigating whether such system is practical for Malaysian drivers and whether they can reduce road accidents. Do you know who may be interested in my research? Regards, Dr. Paul H.P. Yeow Hi Paul,

I am interested to install such system, do you know who to contact? Is this system only for Nissan cars? Actually, I am a researcher who is investigating whether such system is practical for Malaysian drivers and whether they can reduce road accidents. Do you know who may be interested in my research?

Actually, I am interested to research into collision avoidance systems, i.e. to determine how effective is such system in improving driver's performance. Is such system limited to Nissan cars? How expensive is such system? Are there any acceptance test carried out so far? Researcher, hpyeow Hi Paul,

They usually are quite complete with diagnostic equipment etc, and the cars self test themselves usually giving a warning light if anything is malfunctioning (before you find out the hard way). i think the humidity and temperature in malaysia may be the reason the electronics "die" faster there. but there is always that 5% chance that things may go wrong in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Bit scary. well the european and american markets dont have the same type of “ah beng” or “ah seng” workshops.

Maybe the ABS modulator is redesigned to apply pressure on the brakeline as well..

Go to their respective service centre - then like government department - have to take no., make appointment, wait for at least 1/2 day and of course come with unpleasant figure on bill! Is that this innovation is value for moeny! Human response is equally good compare to computerise gadget, the main point here is "DRIVE CAREFULLY" to evoid human error!
