Car Emergency Kits

This Automotive Safety Device Can Save You After All Sorts of Accidents

— April 30, 2015 — Autos
Rolling into the sea in your vehicle isn't a high risk for many motorists, but if your local roadways and geography make it a possibility, you'd certainly want this automotive safety gadget. Ideal for assisting your evacuation from a sinking car, this mechanism performs a handful of functions that will enable your escape.

Designed to be stored and secured within your glove compartment, the Self Rescuer can be yanked out easily and used firstly as a seatbelt cutter, if necessary. If you're trapped inside, pressurized gas inside creates an air gun that can bust through windows without much effort on the user's part. Finally, the same CO2 gas within the canister can be applied as a fire retardant.

This concept for an automotive safety device responds to improved safety features of cars that can actually make it more difficult to get out in dangerous situations.
Trend Themes
1. Improved Automotive Safety Features - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop safety devices that complement rather than hinder the improved safety features of cars.
2. Compact and Multi-functional Emergency Tools - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create compact emergency tools that combine multiple functions, such as seatbelt cutter, window breaker, and fire retardant.
3. Vehicle-specific Emergency Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design emergency kits tailored to specific types of vehicles, addressing unique challenges and needs in different scenarios.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new safety features and solutions that enhance vehicle safety and rescue capabilities.
2. Consumer Electronics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative portable emergency gadgets and devices for personal safety and protection.
3. Insurance - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with insurance companies to offer discounts or incentives for drivers who have equipped their vehicles with emergency safety devices.
