Highlighting one of its many new and innovative family-friendly features, Popular Science recently recognized the 2018 Honda Odyssey’s CabinWatch™ feature with its “2017 Best of What’s New” award. CabinWatch™ uses a ceiling-mounted camera to give south Louisiana parents a birds-eye view of children when they’re located in the second-row and third-row seats, including those in rear-facing child seats, with the image displayed on the front-mounted 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen. Thanks to infrared capability, this innovative system works both day and night, allowing parents to monitor a sleeping child without ever having to turn on a light. And with the simple smartphone-like gestures of Odyssey’s CabinWatch™ feature, parents can now easily zoom in and out or pan when they’re wanting a better view.
Experts are Awe-Struck by the 2018 Odyssey
Designed to help make everyone in your Houma, Louisiana family happy, the new 2018 Odyssey models started arriving at Barker Honda as early as May. These innovative minivans also recently earned the highest safety ratings of *2018 TOP SAFETY PICK from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), as well as a 5-Star Overall Vehicle from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The 2018 Honda Odyssey offers a broad range of active and passive safety features, including Honda Sensing, which can help south Louisiana drivers avoid a collision, or at the very least mitigate its severity. And the best part is, it’s now a standard fixture on 2018 Odyssey EX and above trims at Barker Honda. These innovative and intuitive Honda Sensing technologies include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and many more.
“The ‘Best of What’s New’ award honors the innovations that shape the future,” says Joe Brown, Editor in Chief of Popular Science Magazine. “From life-saving technology to incredible space engineering to gadgets that are just breathtakingly cool, this is the best of what’s new.” Well said Joe, and here at Barker Honda we couldn’t agree more.
