AWOS Technologies

Recent events underscore the critical need for #vehicles to do more in a #submersion emergency. With less than #1minute to escape a #sinkingcar, imagine if your next vehicle was equipped with technology to ensure a safe exit for you and your loved ones. After the #Baltimore bridge collapse, another tragic #bridgecollapse in #China reminds us such tragedies may happen more frequently.  As vehicles plunged into the river, 12 deaths and over 30 missing have been reported. In #Canada, recent #floods have turned roads into rivers, exploded manholes, and overwhelmed emergency responders. #HurricaneBeryl has caused flooding that overtook countless cars and #flashfloods have trapped drivers in upstate #NewYork and in the #Midwest, sadly taking lives. As extreme weather becomes more frequent and severe, the #challenge for car manufacturers and industry will continue to grow: #how to keep #drivers and #passengers #safe on roadways from rising floodwaters, off roadways, or accidents involving infrastructure? 🚗 🌊 Thousands of lives will be saved each year with the right technology to solve this problem. #AWOS’s automatic window opening system is part of the solution by sensing submersion, #loweringwindows and providing occupants with a quick escape while notifying #emergencyservices. We look forward to working with the automotive safety community, public safety and government who want to answer the question: How will cars keep drivers and passengers safe in the event of a life-threatening submersion? Until such tech is on your vehicle, SAVE yourself with #SWOC: Seatbelts Off, Windows Open, Out Immediately, Children First. Only call for help once you’re safely out of the vehicle. #SavingLivesTogether #visionzero #operationALIVE #drowningprevention #AutomotiveSafetyCouncil #EuroNCAP #ANCAP #forsafercars #CTIF #vehiclesafety #connectedcars #publicsafety #emergencyresponse #RoadMedic #OVIN #Communitech #InvestWindsorEssex #LiDARSavingLives #AutomotivePartsManufacturersAssociation #APMA #projectarrow #COVESA #Lidarsavinglives #lidar #radar #camera #Automotive #NextGEn911Dispatch #SWBA #glasscoffins Link to article: https://lnkd.in/esj8xFic

A car can rapidly become a #glasscoffin in water unless windows are opened within #1minute. Passengers need to know what to do and act fast or they can get trapped in their cars due to the lack of exit solutions. Fortunately, in the video, quick-acting bystanders rescued the children and their grandmother. Technology like #AWOS removes any guesswork by detecting submersion, quickly #lowering #windows, and expediting #emergencyresponse to safety assist passengers. Until cars are equipped with such tech, always remember #SWOC: ✅ Seatbelts Off ✅ Windows Open ✅ Out Immediately ✅ Children First DO NOT: ❌ Call for help until you're out of the vehicle. ❌ Manual tools do not break laminated windows. ❌ Don’t open doors; it will lead to water rushing in faster. 🤝 Support, Share to Raise Awareness, Save Lives 🤝 #SavingLivesTogether #visionzero #operationALIVE #drowningprevention #AutomotiveSafetyCouncil Automotive Safety Council #forsafercars #euroncap #ancap #ctif #nthsa #DOT U.S. Department of Transportation #vehiclesafety #connectedcars #publicsafety #emergencyservices #RoadMedic #OVIN #Communitech #LiDARSavingLives #projectarrow #COVESA LiDAR Saving Lives Public-Safety Coalition #lidar #radar #camera #Automotive #911Dispatch Video by Newsner (original source unknown)

Just another daily example of needless horrendous drownings. If we are really serious about zero fatalities and not just talking, then we need to get auto window lowering technology on every vehicle so people have a chance to escape, especially children. The time is NOW!!

🚓 Heroes in Action! Quick-thinking bystanders saved 5 people trapped in their vehicle. But why do we have to rely on close calls? #Cars should #automatically #lower #windows for #safe exits. In #sinkingvehicles, every second counts. Today's cars aren't equipped to save lives in #water #emergencies, often becoming #glasscoffins in water. This leaves little chance for passengers to save themselves. It's time for cars to help passengers get out. With less than #1minute to act, automatic window lowering can be a lifesaver. Just like airbags and seatbelts, safety tech in #submersion is common sense! The tech exists and we must adopt it!

🚨News Alert: Tech that could save your life if your vehicle goes underwater. Spencer Turcotte & CTV News Kitchener thank you for shedding light on #vehiclesubmersion a life-threatening global issue, impacting thousands, including many children. In a #sinkingvehicle, speed and knowing what to do are the only things that will save you today.
