The new radar called 'Green Light' tailgating system developed by five students from Khalifa University could be the next big thing in road safety. The students, all aged between 20-22 years of age, will be heading to Huawei headquarters' technology exhibition next week, and will pitch their invention to some of the world's biggest investors.
Mohamed Al Yousef, a mechanical engineering student, explained how the invention can be effective on UAE roads: "If the distance between the two vehicles is less than the safety distance, a flash will appear and a picture is taken of the license-plate, which is sent to the police, followed by fining the driver."
Al Yousef, along with his team, Hareb Al Ali, Abdullah Al Jaberi, Adam Al Suwaidi and Nada El Sokkary, together won the 'Seeds for the Future' competition, where 150 teams competed. They said they were looking forward to taking their invention to China, pitching their product to global investors and representing UAE outside the country.
