New Automotive OEM and Aftermarket Product Invention Revealed On YouTube.com Seeks Manufacturers or Angel Investors
A new safer automotive OEM and aftermarket invention seeks manufactures and/or angel investor/partners to bring the device to the waiting market. It's a unique opportunity to carve out market share.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 7, 2008 -- A new and innovative vehicle side-view mirror designed by a Houston inventor solves a growing problem facing automobile drivers worldwide. The patents pending design helps prevent automobile accidents by allowing drivers to maintain a view to the front of their vehicle, while simultaneously checking to the side and rear during merging operations. This is important to allow for quicker reaction times to changing events happening in front of the vehicle such as braking lead vehicles and pedestrians entering the roadway.
A driver's peripheral vision is essential to driving safely. Take away a driver's peripheral vision and many important signals can be missed. When conventional side view mirrors are used, events happening in front of the vehicle are moved outside of the driver's peripheral vision making them impossible to see or react to.
The new mirror design uses a series of mirrors to provide a side-by-side view of rear, side and frontal views of the driver's situation. This small innovation keeps events within the realm of the driver's peripheral vision, providing instantaneous notification of braking vehicles, pedestrians entering roadways and other changes happening in front of the vehicle. Improved driver reaction times are key to accident prevention. Eliminating instances where motorist miss braking and other signals quicken reaction times.
It has long been understood that drunk driving is dangerous due to an impaired driver's poor reaction times to events happening in front of their vehicles.
A study in 2000 showed that reaction times for drivers under the influence of alcohol saw an average increase in reaction times of 0.5 seconds. When one considers that the average glance into a side view mirror takes 1.4 seconds, the implications become clear. Assuming certain conditions, a vehicle traveling at 60 mph will have a stopping distance of 88 feet per second in the first second. A lot can happen in 88 ft. So reaction times are vital to safe driving.
In certain situations such as maneuvering from stalled lanes, drivers tend to stare into their side-view mirrors for over 10 seconds before noticing an opening and accelerating. This causes accident prevention problems as well. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVFHVnD7EuA]"
The products slogan is
"Events happening in front of your vehicle are never unimportant."
This mirror is safer, and allows for easier more efficient monitoring of events to the side, rear and front of the vehicle. With increases in the number of vehicles on roadways spurring the adding of lanes to freeways, and more aging drivers (baby boomers) hitting the roadways, it is imperative that the proper automotive tools are provided to efficiently negotiate these changes.
With over 50 million less informative mirrors being sold annually at prices ranging from $100 to $400 each (retail), the OEM and Aftermarket segments are wide open and substantial to the tune of billions of dollars.
