The car would also make an emergency call to the police and an ambulance, honk its horn, and flash the blinker and hazard lights to alert others nearby.
Mazda is working to develop cars that can detect when drivers are having a stroke or a heart attack and pull over in a safe spot as quickly as possible, the Associated Press reported. The in-progress feature would be the newest development in an increasingly advanced market of vehicles that have the ability to park themselves, give warnings to drowsy drivers and steer themselves back into lanes after drifting.
Mazda has been collaborating with medical experts, including from the Tsukuba University Hospital, to research what a healthy driver versus an unhealthy or incapacitated driver would look like, the Japanese company told reporters. Once the Co-Pilot Concept feature detects an issue, such as the driver slumped over the steering wheel, it would stop the car on the curb of the road or another safe spot, the AP reported.
