Following the recent spate of incidents and accidents, such as tailgating and other driving incidents that have become a social problem, we have been discussing measures to address this issue. The PI Group develops services and systems and takes responsibility for solving the problems required by social and environmental changes, including the new demands of the mobility society. We entered into this collaboration and agreement based on the idea of that there is a need for new solutions for existing vehicles, such as using the driver assistance system functions of dashboard cameras and responding quickly to accidents or tailgating incidents.
Comtec, the top seller of dashboard cameras in terms of sales volume*2, will develop the product based on its extensive know-how, and AUTOBACS SEVEN, the top-selling car accessory store in Japan, will provide detailed instructions on how to install the product in its group stores. PI Group’s domestic consolidated subsidiaries, Prestige Core Solution inc. and Premier Aid Inc., will be responsible for providing emergency assistance through seamless data linkage, leveraging their automotive assistance expertise, including assessing the accident situation from the images, calling for emergency services from fire departments nationwide, notifying public agencies, and dispatching towing and other roadside assistance services as needed.
