Valeo XtraVueTM Trailer won the ‘2020 PACE Award’ for developing the world’s first drive assist technology. Claimed to help drivers to ‘see-through’ the trailer or caravan while towing, it is said to make the operations simpler and safer. The technology software-controlled cameras are known to have been developed inhouse. Aiding in visualising the environment at the rear of the towed vehicle, the system collates the data recorded through the fitted cameras, rendering it as a single, homogenous image. This image is
displayed on the screen visible from the cockpit. Drivers can look forward to changing lanes, reversing and parking with complete control over their surroundings. Commenting on receiving the award Marc Vrecko, President of the Comfort and Driving Assistance Systems Business Group said, “This award attests to the creativity, expertise and agility of our teams who developed this unprecedented technology, which makes driving simpler and safer.”
