NBC News reports that General Motors is offering a technology called the Rear Seat Reminder in its 2017 GMC Acadia SUV, which is “designed to detect when a motorist puts something in the back seat and then issue an alert when they’re ready to exit the vehicle.” Child safety experts hope the car will help prevent the death of children in hot cars. KidsandCars.org President Janette Fennell has praised the Rear Seat Reminder and said, “New technology must be added as quickly as possible on vehicles to help prevent these needless deaths and injuries.”
