Kia warns of approaching emergency vehicles
Kia presented the new "Emergency Vehicle Approaching" (EVA) safety technology at the "Road Safety Experience" in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. It uses real-time traffic data to warn drivers of approaching emergency vehicles, thereby clearing a path for the emergency services in good time. Kia developed the technology in a three-year project as part of the Dutch government's "Safety Priority Services" initiative.
The new Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication feature builds on existing Kia assistance systems and connects vehicles with intelligent road infrastructures. Kia and its sister company Hyundai Motor are the first automotive brands to launch EVA in Europe. Kia is currently introducing the technology to its range of connected vehicles through a software update that will also be available over-the-air (OTA). It will initially be available in the Netherlands, but there are also plans to introduce it in other European countries. (aum)
