In order to integrate the company’s Hazard Enhanced Location Protocol technology, Elon Musk-owned Tesla has agreed to a partnership with Emergency Safety Solutions, which will deploy the technology on Tesla models first in North America through over-the-air software update.
The CEO of the company, Tom Metzger said, “This is great news for significantly increasing roadside safety. Tesla is a leader in bringing first time innovation to passenger vehicles and is leading the way by implementing H.E.L.P technology on potentially millions of Tesla vehicles across the world. It is a monumental step in the effort to overcome the troubling safety issue of crashes into disabled and vulnerable vehicles, which tragically injure or kill tens of thousands around the world each year.”
As per Emergency Safety Solutions, it is working to eliminate disabled vehicle crashes with this fresh intelligent emergency communications feature for stationary, distressed vehicles. The regulatory complaint solution combines onboard intelligence to drive two forms of highly effective communication to make your disabled vehicle more visible – H.E.L.P. Lighting Alerts in the form of highly conspicuous emergency-based lighting output and H.E.L.P. Digital Alerts sent to oncoming vehicles through GPS-based mapping applications.
These features give advanced warning to oncoming traffic – giving approaching drivers minutes, not just milliseconds to more safely respond to the disabled vehicle.
