EyeQ on board

Pattern recognition specialist MobilEye has developped EyeQ vision system-on-a-chip to reduce road accident reduction and assist drivers.

The low-cost (that's what the company says) computer chip works with cameras mounted all around a vehicle and analyzes data to alert you to a car in your blind spot, pedestrians crossing, apply more brake pressure if a crash seems evident, only deploy one air bag if there is just one passenger, things a computer can do faster then us.

Yessss, invent me more gadget like this, guys, and I might try to get a driving licence one day...
