The latest news in technology is the unveiling of Nissan's new safety technologies in Japan. These technologies are based on Nissan's 'Safety Shield' concept.
The Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication technology detects obstacles using sonar and automatically applies the brake to help avoid collisions when the vehicle is in danger of touching nearby obstacles. Nissan aims to commercialize this new technology within the next two years.
The Multi-Sensing System includes a blind spot warning, lane departure warning and a moving object detection that detects moving objects like pedestrians through the rearview camera. This technology will be installed in new Nissan models in 2012 in Japan.
The Predictive Forward Collision Warning System warns the driver with a buzzer, a display signal and by tightening the seatbelt, when it sees the need to decelerate.

When you're on the go and need to access something online-which nowadays can be any number of things both in your private and professional life-it's great to know that apps on your smartphone can most likely facilitate that access. Whether close or far from my home or office, I do find that I can rely on my smartphone apps to help me bridge what would otherwise be a gap in accessibility that would require me to physically have to get to a computer, etc. I have to admit, I tend to stay within what seem to be considered the top 10 apps. Of course the best apps will be those that uniquely fill your accessibility needs. If you haven't explored the world of apps yet, I recommend just familiarizing yourself simply for the fact that there could be times when they really help you get what you need.

Airports in the US have been making tech news ever since September 11th, as they were forced by the threat of terrorism to upgrade their technology in an attempt to make air travel safer. A decade later, and airports have been successful in patching many security holes with cutting edge technical solutions.
Airports across the country have implemented advanced technologies like X-ray backscatter scanners that enable TSA agents to avoid strip searches of passengers thanks to the detailed level of imaging they make possible. The newest equipment still in development promises to eliminate the hassle of removing coats and footwear and tossing your bottled water to go through security, speeding up checkpoint times significantly. At LAX's Terminal Five, Siemens AG has just installed new baggage screening equipment that speeds up the baggage check in process significantly.
