Honda recognizes that for parents, a child's safety is a top priority, which is why its 2018 Honda Odyssey will feature 'CabinWatch' -- a ceiling-mounted camera that lets parents watch over their kids, without having to turn around.
Whether embarking on a cross-country trip to visit grandma, or a short journey to soccer practice, any parent will confirm that driving with multiple kids in the car is a stressful and challenging task. Honda's feature enhances safety for all by eliminating the need for parents to constantly glance at the rear view mirror, and ensures they won't have to turn around to see how the kids are doing. An additional function called 'CabinTalk' allows parents to talk through their children's headphones or speakers, even if they're listening to music or watching a movie.
This effective and efficient child-monitoring system will help parents keep their eyes on the road.
