Today we will talk about a new patent of Ford, which can save people's lives. According to US Patent And Trademark Office, this technology will help first responders to help quickly after a crash. This patent tells the way to find the people present in the car and know their condition. So let's know more about this.
The purpose of this patent is to detect the presence of people in the car during and after a crash. Using sensors and cameras, this technology counts how many people are in the car. If someone gets out of the car during a crash, then this system also tracks them. This information is immediately received by the first responders, so that they can provide help at the right time.
How does this system work?
Sensors are installed in the car, which detect heartbeat and breathing. If a crash occurs, the system checks whether anyone is injured or not. This data is sent to the police, ambulance, or fire department. This lets the first responders know how many people need to be saved and where they are.
Ford says that this technology is fast and accurate. In the old system, responders had to reach the crash site and check manually. But with this patent, they will get all the information beforehand. For example, if an accident occurs at night, then this system will help in finding ejected passengers, which is difficult in the dark.

The special thing about this technology is its simple design. It uses the existing sensors of the car, such as backup cameras and radar. This will not increase the cost of the car much. Ford has already been ahead in safety features like airbags and seatbelt reminders. This patent is an attempt to further improve their safety.
Will this patent really work?
Right now it is just a patent, which means it will take time to be installed in the vehicles. But CarBuzz says that Ford wants to implement it soon. If it is successful, then there can be a big change in reducing deaths in crashes. Ford's vehicles are already considered safe, and this technology will further enhance their reputation.
This technology will compete with other companies. Toyota and Mercedes-Benz are also working on safety tech. But Ford's patent is unique because it tracks ejected passengers. This feature can reduce chaos at crash sites, where every second is precious. This can be a life-saving tool for first responders.
