New alert system vision blind spots behind the wheel

Less sure who else who has had the odd scare due to the well-known and recurrent vision blind spot or blind spot while driving with the car. Surely then, I also have heard of solutions like a beep when you come dangerously close to a vehicle that comes through your blind spot, or even a flashing light.
Well, it appears that now is the best solution possible to avoid not knowing what comes from the blind spot mirrors of the car. And is that John Morrell, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Yale University, USA, has developed a seat that vibrates to warn of the danger of a possible clash .
The thing a priori seems a simple idea, but the performance sure has not been much. The seat vibrator contains within it a series of small vibration motors such as those using mobile phones, which are connected to sensors on the outside of the vehicle, vibrate when your own car or something dangerously close to the point blind vision of the vehicle.
And that certainly can tell a sound or light warning of possible danger to a vehicle near the dead driver’s vision, as it says John Morrell, requires more cognitive capacity to user not something that appeals to ‘touch’, like a vibration in the seat .
Is considered to do a light or hear a sound and associate the stimulus light or sound that means danger because something about the blind spot of the car needs more attention by the driver and is not as effective from the point of view of reaction fast. The vibration is a more direct route into the brain.
