The data of the regional registry of pet animals claim that in Italy there are more than 13 million domestic dogs, and data similar to these can be found in many countries of the world where pets are much loved and widespread; It is therefore not surprising to hear that Ford has designed a seat belt system specifically for pets, especially for dogs who are often our travel companions when we move in the car - sometimes even on motorcycles, for the more daring !
To make our pets travel safely, Ford has decided to develop a safety belt system that can protect them in the event of an accident. Motor Authority has found the patent in the dedicated offices of the United States and judging from the images it is a harness system with collar that is fixed to a support structure fixed in the vehicle.
Thanks to the use of cameras, the car is able to understand if our animal is calm or agitated, so as to adjust the tension of the laces accordingly. The leash fixed to the harness fits into the seat belt slot, so that in the event of an accident our pet is not catapulted out of the car, as happens to those traveling without belts.
