Vehicle submersion claims the lives of tens of thousands of people every year and occurs whenever water rises against the doors and side windows and entrap passengers. In the US alone, about 11,000 motor vehicle accidents occur annually involving submersion, resulting in up to 400 deaths. Occupants have less than 60 SECONDS to exit a sinking vehicle through the side windows but, due to panic, wast

Drowning in our cars in 2024 should be impossible, right? Yet claims 500 lives each year in the US and thousands more worldwide. It turns out none of the tech in our cars is designed to detect submersion or prevent drowning. Recent high-profile tragedies like the Baltimore Bridge Collapse and the drowning of billionaire CEO Angela Chao in her car have brought the issue into the spotlight, but submersion silently claims lives every day.
There is to exit your car, and the safest way is through the side . Manual tools, like hammers, DO NOT break laminated windows found in modern cars. This is why automated solutions like need to become standard in vehicles, just like seatbelts and airbags.
Until such tech is available on cars, remember
✅ Seatbelts Off
✅ Windows Open
✅ Out Immediately
✅ Children First
DO NOT:
❌ Call for help until you're out of the vehicle.
❌ Manual tools do not break laminated windows.
❌ Open doors; it will lead to water rushing in faster.
❌ Wait for the compartment to fill.
❌ Kick out the windshield - it's ineffective and dangerous.
We're working to bring AWOS to market and are in talks with car makers, public safety groups, safety organizations and government agencies.
