Active Health Monitoring In Automobile Market by Top Players – Volkswagen AG and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG

Growth in the technologies such as smart sensor network, nanotechnology, advance communication network and distributed computing has led to the development of various integrated devices, one such device is active health monitoring system. The system is integrated with the vehicle that helps in safe driving. Driver’s health and state of mind is very important factor for safe driving. Any kind of physical factor such as drowsiness, distraction, drunkenness can lead to severe road accidents.
