A PROTOTYPE to prevent infant deaths after being left in vehicles is what helped Team Smart e-Saver comprising Joseph Chung,16, and Thomas Brabbs, 15, from Tunku Putra School, Kuching, Sarawak, to win the top prize at the Sime Darby Young Innovators Challenge (SYDIC) 2018 National Championship.
The winning team designed the prototype after being moved by news articles about babies dying in vehicles after being left there. The invention uses a sensor to detect babies left in vehicles that are switched off and sends a signal to the caretaker’s smartphone that the baby is in the car.
