Japanese automotive giant, Honda has unveiled its latest safety system known as the Sensing 360 to eliminate blind spots. With its launch slated for 2022, the omnidirectional safety system includes driver-assistance features along with a collision-avoidance system. According to Honda, China would be the first to receive the system followed by other markets in a phased manner by 2030.
Honda Sensing – ADAS Features
The Sensing 360 uses five mmWAV radars with one at the front and one located on every corner of the car. A monocular camera built into the system provides the driver with a complete 360-degree view which eliminates blind spots. Honda’s Sensing 360 acts as a form of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) which includes other features apart from blind-spot monitoring. These include collision avoidance, steering assistance, adaptive cruise control, low-speed follow, lane-keep assist, and cornering speed assist. The system also features audio-visual warnings on the digital instrument cluster when there’s a risk of a collision.
