While fully-automated, completely secure vehicles that can avoid any collision are still rather far away, we're seeing more and more intermediate solutions that can seriously enhanced drivers' safety arrive on the market, and one of the latest is the Mobileye C2-270 system, featuring the EyeQ2 vision chip, which detects pedestrians, vehicles, bicycles, and lane marking.

The Mobileye C2-270 camera, mounted behind the windshield of the car, constantly monitors the road in front of the vehicle while the car is in motion.

The camera is connected to a display unit placed within the driver's field of view and if the camera spots a danger in the way, the display will flash bright color-coded icons and sound a warning to alert the driver up to 2.7 seconds before impact, which should prove to be quite enough for the driver to take immediate action to avert a collision.

The most exciting feature of the Mobileye C2-270 is the Pedestrian Collision Warning, which allows the system to identify pedestrians or bicycles and warn the driver before a collision.

"The Mobileye C2-270 has unprecedented alert capabilities for drivers," says Isaac Litman, CEO of Mobileye Products, "and best of all, drivers can drive reassured with the feeling that an extra eye is constantly at work in the car, giving them another line of defense in an increasingly dangerous road environment."

Unfortunately, while the company doesn't provide any details regarding the pricing and/or availability of the Mobileye C2-270 for the time being, they do have some nice commercials for this solution, one of which you can watch as follows.
