TORRANCE, California, Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Highlighting one of its many new and innovative family-friendly features, Popular Science recognized the 2018 Honda Odyssey’s CabinWatch™ with its “2017 Best of What’s New” award. CabinWatch uses a ceiling-mounted camera to give parents a birds-eye view of children in the second- and third-row seats, including those in rear-facing child seats, with the image displayed on the front-mounted 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen. With infrared capability, the system works day and night, allowing a parent, for example, to monitor a sleeping child without turning on a light; and with simple smartphone-like gestures, the parents can easily zoom in and out or pan for a better view.
