Pennsylvania officials held a news event on Tuesday to point parents to new technology that can alert them of their car’s temperature.
TOYOTA RECALLS ITS FIRST BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR DUE TO LOOSE WHEEL
The state’s Department of Transportation alerted locals to the Sensor Safe app at a conference in Huntingdon County. This app, when connected to specific car seats, can alert parents of the temperature in the car, when its buckle has come undone, and the location of the seat itself. An unlimited number of users can be added to one family account, and it will alert more users the longer time has passed.
“A child’s body temperature can raise anywhere between three and five degrees and at about 104 degrees, that child would start to develop signs of a heat stroke,” Pennsylvania Department of Transportation representative Kara Bauer said. “Unfortunately, we have seen a slight uptick in the amount of vehicular heatstrokes in the past year.”
