The result could translate into a dramatic improvement in vehicle safety, lower insurance costs, and saved lives--if the obstacles standing" in its way are overcome. Though the proliferation of sensors on vehicle chassis have arguably given them the sense of touch, the eyes and ears of the driver are still the primary source of information needed to avoid collisions. That's about to change. Chassis technology suppliers like TRW Automotive, Delphi Automotive and Robert Bosch Corp. are busily developing and commercializing a diverse array of sensors that will work together to allow vehicles to "see" objects...
