Imagine a <strong>car</strong> that can stop itself before hitting another<br />
vehicle or pedestrian. Well, a device being developed in Israel<br />
could transform driving habits forever.<br />
You're out for your morning drive to work. There's little traffic,<br />
the roads are clear. All of a sudden you're distracted from<br />
your driving, and a pedestrian has crossed right in front of<br />
your <strong>car</strong>. You have no time to break.<br />

But this is no ordinary <strong>car</strong>.<br />
It is fitted out with a special alert system that warns you when<br />
you are driving too close to a pedestrian, or a <strong>car</strong>. And if you don't react to the warning immediately,<br />
the system breaks for you.<br />
Yonatan Samet, <strong>Mobileye</strong> R&D Project manager, said, "This system actually sees what's going on on<br />
the road. It can see where the lane marks are, it can see where the vehicles are, it can see where<br />
the pedestrians are, what the pedestrians are about to do. Are they about to cross the road? Are<br />
they going to remain on the sidewalk and be safe and protected? This is a system that saves lives."<br />

A digital camera is connected to the system and reads what's happening on the road in front of it. It<br />
can differentiate between <strong>car</strong>s and pedestrians from some 35 meters away. It will sound off as<br />
quickly as 2.5 seconds before an impending crash, leaving drivers enough time to react.<br />
The device also recognizes lane marks. It sends a warning beep when the <strong>car</strong> swerves out of its lane,<br />
so a sleepy driver can be instantly woken up.<br />
The technology is already available in vehicles produced by a leading <strong>car</strong> maker.<br />
When it hits the market next year, the device is likely to cost upwards of $1,000.<br />
Drivers are going to have to ask themselves if saving a life is worth the cost, or if they should just be
