TOKYO: Cars already know how to park themselves, warn drowsy drivers, steer back into the right lanes and propose map routes to destinations. The cars Mazda has in the works for next year in Japan know when drivers have a stroke or heart attack.By 2025, the cars will even know when drivers are about to have a sudden health problem and warn them, according to the Japanese automaker.
Other major automakers, including Volkswagen of Germany and Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp., are working on similar technology.Mazda plans to offer the technology in Europe after Japan. Mazda wants to wait and see before offering it in the US, because it believes questions remain about their social acceptance, although similar systems that stop vehicles are already being offered by rivals.As for privacy concerns, the personal data does not leave the car, according to Mazda.
