1. Basic collision avoidance systems for vehicles may be ready for commercial rollout in just a few years, Stevens predicted. 2. But the end result is that Raytheon, the Air Force and Navy eventually will change to an entirely different collision warning system, Davis said. 3. By the time student pilots take to the air, Davis said the B.F. Goodrich collision warning system likely will have undergone modifications. 4. Chrysler Corp. and Ford Motor Co. are also developing collision avoidance systems. 5. Delco designs and builds automotive electronics including stereos, collision warning systems, electronic engine controls, navigation systems and air bag and anti-lock brake modules. 6. DSPs are being used in more and more applications from wireless phones to HDTVs to cable modems to digital cameras and auto collision warning systems. 7. In immediate response to the incident, the Air Force gave all its pilots additional training regarding the sensitivity of the collision avoidance system in commercial planes. 8. Memphis-based FedEx Corp. has decided to install airline-style collision avoidance systems in its planes, then add ADS-B later. 9. Potential uses include improved teleconferencing, collision avoidance systems in cars and inexpensive high-performance surveillance cameras. 10. The collision warning system should be a great addition. |
