Bet you didn't know this!

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 named Kawasaki.........

His invention was simple and effective.

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

Here's his first prototype...

It’s a pig taped to the rear hitch of his tractor.

Indeed it is. Wish the picture had come through so that the "squeel" was apparent.
