New smart car feature alerts when you forget something in the back

It is okay to forget a bag of veggies in your car's back seat and not realising until the next morning. But it is certainly preposterous to forget your baby there. To remind careless drivers to pick their stuff from the back seat of the car, Nissan has invented a new smart alert system called RDA or rear door alert that triggers the horn and gives a visual reminder message, Mashable reported.

It is okay to forget a bag of veggies in your car's back seat and not realising until the next morning. But it is certainly preposterous to forget your baby there. To remind careless drivers to pick their stuff from the back seat of the car, Nissan has invented a new smart alert system called RDA or rear door alert that triggers the horn and gives a visual reminder message, Mashable reported. 

Nissan plans to integrate the RDA system to its 2019 models for eight cars initially, followed by all four-door trucks, sedans, and SUVs by 2022. 

Recently, Nissan India announced they will increase the prices of their models from next month in order to partially offset the impact of rising input costs. In a statement, Tata Motors said it would hike prices of its passenger vehicles (PV) by up to Rs 60,000 from April 1.

"The rising input costs, changing market conditions and various external economic factors, have compelled us to consider the price increase," Tata Motors President, Passenger Vehicle Business, Mayank Pareek said.

He, however, said the company is optimistic of maintaining its growth trajectory in the coming year on the back of a "robust product portfolio like Tiago, Hexa, Tigor and Nexon". The company sells a range of passenger vehicles, from the Gen X Nano at a starting price of Rs 2.28 lakh to premium SUV Hexa with price going up to Rs 17.42 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

Nissan currently sells three models -- Micra, Sunny and Terrano -- in India priced between Rs 4.64 lakh and Rs 14.46 lakh.
