Many of the newer cars have a "Back-Up Sensor "

that warns the driver before the rear bumper actually comes in

contact with something.

Who invented this sensor?

I'll bet you think it was Ford, maybe GM; how about Chrysler?

No? Then how about Mercedes Benz, or possibly the French

or Italian car manufacturers?

No, it was a Japanese farmer by the name of Kawasaki.

His invention was simple and effective.

It emits a high-pitch squeal before the vehicle backs into something.

Here's his first prototype..

You'd squeel too if they were at risk.
