The age of 15 million companion animals. The numer of ‘Pet+Family’ who consider companion animals as another family member is increasing.
Pet+Family: A compound Word of pet and family, which refers to people who treats their pets as family members.
In fact, statistics show that 1 in 4 Koreans live with a companion animal.
At the same time, Pet-Friendly, which means pet-friendly service, is attracting attention. The auto industry is also starting to move in favor of the petfam. Indeed, what kind of pet-friendly products is the automobile industry developing?
Cars are unfamiliar objects for pets. It is easy to feel fear and anxiety because all directions are closed and it makes noise and vibrations while running. Some pets also show symptoms of motion sickness.
To help with this, the automotive industry is launching exclusive products for pets. Car seats for pets targeting SUVs, “Kennel”, and seat belts are typical examples.
The domestic and foreign automobile industry supports the comfortable and safe movement of companion animals and is proposing a new lifestyle in which people and animals coexist.
Now, pet-friendly behavior in the automobile industry is becoming a necessity, not an option. Some brands are developing advanced mobility technologies for companion animals and expanding their service areas.
Every summer, unexpected accidents ocur due to neglect of pets in vehicles. Since pets cannot open the door on their own, they cannot escape even if the room temperature rises rapidly.
To prevent this, HL Clemove is promoting the commercalization of indoor passenger detection sensors.The Life Presence Detection system using the USSR-10 aradar sensor is the main character.
The USSR-10 is a 60GHz high frequency, high performance radar sensor. High frequency radar has good permeability and can discriminate microscopic movements of the body such as chest movements. It also has the advantage that is not significantly affected by external vibraiton and noise.
As soon as the driver opens the car door and leaves, the system is activated and object detection begins. When motion is detected, a warning alarm is sent to the driver. In this way, accidents due to the driver’s negligence can be prevented in advance.
Tesla has introduced a similar technology. If you turn on ‘Dog Mode’ after parking on vehicle, the air conditioner will operate at an appropriate temperature for your pet. In addition, a message ‘The owner will be back soon’ appears on display tol et you know that your pet is being protected.
As such, the automobile industry is developing technology to meet the growing demand of the pet family.
