Idea for a car safety feature

Or here's a novel approach.....DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS & PETS UNATTENDED IN VEHICLES!!!!!

I often think of ideas these days but then I'm sure some super nerd is way ahead of me. I have no doubt something like this will be fairly standard in a couple years.

The nerds these days are running shite.

a temperature sensor that sends your phone a text or alert if the temp gets too high

Every day?

People would turn that sensor off immediately. The ones who would actually want it would have the sensor fail after 38,000 miles and it would cost $350.00 to replace.

I'll actually never understand this. Why do people (a) leave their kids in a car unattended and (b) why do they leave their pets in the same?

I don't have kids so I can't speak to that one so I'll speak to the pets one. If I have to bring one of my dogs to the vet and have to also go to the grocery store or something...I'll spend the extra time to go home, drop the dog off and then go BACK to the store. It just doesn't make sense.

a sensor under the back seat. sort of like the one on the passenger seat that tells the passenger to buckle up that alerts you that someone.thing is in the back seat when you turn off the engine and/or open the door. only don't give the option to turn it off.

Lots of kids and pets getting too hot in cars these days. Car makers should install a temperature sensor that sends your phone a text or alert if the temp gets too high for your pet or children to be comfortable. It could give you the option to remotely crack the windows. Get Junior or Buster some fresh air while you finish shopping. This would help keep kids and pets safe, while providing peace of mind to busy adults.

Or you could just teach your kid and dog how to crack the damn window themselves. My god you "busy adults" can be so lazy sometimes.

My 3 year old practically drives my car anyway when I'm responding to my text messages.

solar powered fan that kicks on and exhausts the heat inside the vehicle to the outside when it reaches "x" temp inside. Fans require very little power to operate so this seems feasible to me.

My thing is, we have a sensor to sound an annoying ding to have a passenger put their seatbelt on, but we can't come up with something to sense that there is a child in the car??? My damn sensor goes off if I put a bag of fast food in the passenger seat sometimes. We can't figure out to have something that can tell if a child is in the back seat and to beep at you like when you leave your lights on.

I got a better one.

All cars should disable cell phones with a scrambler

Here's an idea:

Push to start
Run car with AC
Lock doors

Problem solved
