  • Speed based hands-on alarm system for a steering wheel
    Patent number: 11845441
    Abstract: A speed based alarm system to be used in automobiles includes a first touch sensor, a second touch sensor, a processing unit, and a notification alarm. The first touch sensor and the second touch sensor are integrated into a steering wheel body of an automobile to detect the hands of the driver on the steering wheel. The feedback from the first touch sensor and/or the second touch sensor are received at the processing unit along with a vehicle speed, wherein the vehicle speed is retrieved from a vehicle logic board. The processing unit determines if the automobile is at a speed which requires both hands of the driver for better control of the automobile. If the automobile is at a speed that requires both hands of the driver, and only one hand is detected on the steering wheel, the processing unit activates the notification alarm to notify the driver.
