New Device Sends Alerts if Kids or Pets Left in Hot Cars
Nancy Dominguez is a mechanical engineering student at UT Dallas, where she came up with an invention that uses a thermometer, a wireless connection, and an infrared sensor, coupled with a motion detector that can see if something living is inside the car. Once the sensor recognizes that a person or animal has been left behind in the vehicle, it tracks the temperature. When the air inside the automobile nears a level that would be considered too hot or too cold, the gadget sends a text message to the driver.
