A major tier 1 supplier was running into a deadline for an advanced safety concept car for an international auto show due in 3 months. They called PacInfo.

PacInfo’s job was to develop communication with internal and external computers using a variety of communications protocols to:

• Monitor and manage driver dis-tractions to include an eye tracking system, AutoPC mobile multimedia, steering wheel/console button, as well as environmental distractions.

• Provide visual support for difficult driving conditions for a heads-up display. It included IR night vision, navigation aids, and adaptive cruise control/forward collision warning.

• Provide visual, audio, and haptic alerts when driver distraction or drowsiness is detected.

PacInfo put a team of 2 to 3 engineers

to work on it. They worked intense 80+ hour weeks. The vehicle made a very successful debut at the Paris Auto Show.

The client said: “Congratulations for meeting the deadline…[T]he final result not only met its listed requirements but went beyond by patching some inter-system flaws… [P]rofessionalism and commitment to the final product could always be counted on in my communication with any member of the team, and nothing less than 100% was ever even a consideration. Their dedication has won my respect and the recognition of many of my colleagues.”

PacInfo was chosen for the successor project.
