Honda AI as a lifesaver

Through the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and communication technologies, Honda aims to realize a society in which all road users can enjoy worry-free mobility without the risk of traffic collisions. Honda wants to use two key technologies for this. On the one hand, the world's first “Intelligent Driver-Assistive Technology” supported by artificial intelligence (AI), which helps avoid driving errors and the associated risks. The second is the so-called “Safe and Sound Network Technology”, which connects all road users through telecommunications in order to identify potential risks and prevent accidents before they occur.

Intelligent assistants

Honda will expand the rollout of its recently launched Honda Sensing 360 safety and driver assistance system to all models sold in major markets through 2030. Honda will also expand its motorcycle detection function and ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) functions. In addition, the range of training technologies for traffic safety (Honda Safety EdTech) is being expanded. These measures are intended to reduce fatal traffic accidents involving Honda automobiles or motorcycles by half by 2030. With Safe and Sound Technology, information about potential risks in the traffic environment is recorded by roadside cameras, vehicle cameras and smartphones and collected on a server. During the evaluation, the system recognizes which road users are at high risk of a collision and determines the most suitable information to support road users. This information is then passed on to vehicle drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians in an easy-to-understand manner so that they can avoid an accident in a timely manner.
