The US Federal Commission (FCC) has given the go-ahead for the expansion of near-acting radars in several sectors, including vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and medical equipment. This decision has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of human life. FCC’s approval of the use of a frequency spectrum of 60 GHz opens up several possibilities for the use of this technology.
Close-acting radars have already been developed by engineers at Toyota, called “Association of the Salon,” which can detect even the slightest movement inside the car. This technology can help save children left in cars during scorching summer heat and notify drivers about unattended children or pets. The FCC’s decision will enable other automakers to present similar features in their cars.
The AIA alliance, which includes auto producers and defenders of children’s rights, have long been pushing for the approval of FCC’s decision. Large automakers have also agreed to equip their American cars with reminders for drivers about passengers or animals left on rear seats by 2025.
The new rules adopted by FCC for a frequency spectrum of 60 GHz will enable close-acting radar technologies like hot car sensors, monitoring health, and emergency care drones to function efficiently.
The Kids and Car Safety group, a non-profit organization, works on research and statistics in the field of children’s safety in cars. They collaborate with various companies, governments, and car manufacturers to develop new security measures and standards. The organization’s goal is to prevent accidents and injuries to children during car trips by educating the public and ensuring maximum safety standards.
This decision by FCC has a wide range of practical applications and will benefit several sectors. The use of close-acting radar technology can potentially save lives and minimize the number of accidents related to safety.
