QuadSense
Blind-spot assistant for older cars, 2018
Finalist
CWSF 2018
Older cars don't have blind-spot monitoring. QuadSense adds it: an alarm goes off if you start changing lanes while a car is in your blind spot.
Two modules clip onto the side mirrors and measure the gap to nearby cars with ultrasonic sensors. They stream that to a third module on the steering wheel, whose gyroscope knows which way you're turning.
Mirror modules
Ultrasonic sensors on each side mirror watch the blind spots.
The brain
A steering-wheel module senses turns and sounds the alarm.
Wireless
Modules talk over Bluetooth, with nothing to wire into the car.
