Today, cars can park themselves, change lanes themselves and even brake themselves. There is one thing they can't do: save children from dying heatstroke when left unatteded inside. My patented device, the Vehicular Heatstroke Prevention Device (Pat. #9,796,731) can and will save lives. This system has the ability to detect a child in a car (by recognizing an increase in carbon dioxide levels), monitor the temperature, and turn on the engine and air conditioning. Emergency personnel are alerted through an accompanying phone application. The app provides GPS coordinates, directions, and real-time information to emergency personnel.
