Each year dozens of children and hundreds of pets die from heatstroke after being left in a vehicle. Even on a mild day, the interior temperature can rise by 50 degrees within minutes.
We the people propose that vehicle manufacturers be required to use technology to monitor a vehicle's internal temperature and activate the air conditioning system/windows if sensors indicate that the vehicle is occupied when the temperature passes a predetermined threshold.
Further, to avoid accidentally leaving a child/pet in a vehicle, we request that the vehicle notify the vehicle owner via text/phone if it senses that the vehicle is occupied while turned off, regardless of interior temperature.
