The new Collision-Avoidance Radar System made it's debut at the 12 hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing.

"The system uses a rear-facing radar sensor to track up to 32 objects, and runs on a custom-built Linux PC with a Core i3 CPU," said Chris Hammond, Embedded Systems Engineer for Pratt & Miller. "With a momentary glance the driver knows how many cars are following, how far back each one is, their closing speeds, and whether or not they are probably a faster class."

The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and it uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify the proximity and closing speed of nearby racecars using different colors.

Would be cool to see this in production Chevrolet vehicles.

I don't believe in these things. I use my brake pedal and the steering wheel to avoid collisions

My collision avoidance system is this:
Drive faster than everyone on the road so I only have to worry about threats from one direction: out front.

Why else do you think I need a "sleeper" sedan for a daily driver ????

I like your thinking.

I have a heavy right foot and thankfully never have to check blind spots due my heavy foot

Seriously though this is tech I can see being available within the next few years, maybe starting with Cadillac and slowly working it's way down to the cheaper GM vehicles.
