New car safety sensors are not popular in Australia [Copy link]

Because children are short, it is difficult for drivers to spot them when they cross the road, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. To reduce the occurrence of tragedies, Australian government officials are working hard to promote a sensor that can sense when children are approaching and alert drivers, but due to some practical problems, the prospect of popularizing this sensor is not optimistic.

　　The sensor works by connecting a camera mounted outside the car to a display inside the car, allowing the driver to detect if there are people or animals approaching outside the car. The installation cost of this equipment is about 205 Australian dollars (1 US dollar is about 1.3 Australian dollars).

　　NSW roads boss Eric Lusendaal said if sensors became as mandatory as seatbelts, there would be no reason not to have the technology on every new car.

　　But Peter Sturrock, a member of the Australian Automobile Industry Association, said the proposal was highly unrealistic because it was not a matter of increasing costs, but a huge change in the automotive manufacturing industry that was not easy to achieve.

　　Traffic police who deal with accidents every day believe that sensors can certainly help improve driving safety, but ultimately it requires drivers to improve their safety awareness in order to effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents.
