The Formula One Driver will attend the eSafety Challenge event on 31 May 2011 in Vienna where he will demonstrate eSafety technologies and how they can help to prevent accidents on the roads.

The eSafety Challenge promotes and highlights the life-saving potential of advanced vehicle safety technologies. In its continuous efforts for eSafety deployment the third edition of the eSafety Challenge will take place at the ÖAMTC Safe Driving Centre Teesdorf south of the Austrian capital Vienna on 31 May 2011.

Much as in the event’s two previous incarnations (Vallelunga Italy in 2009 and last year’s show at Millbrook UK) an array of activities is being prepared to show delegates the potential of eSafety systems to save lives on our roads. A particular highlight will once again be the technology demonstrations opened by celebrity drivers and hands-on driving sessions for delegates that should not be missed. 

Over 300 delegates and journalists are expected to attend the high-level conference which will feature presentations from among a distinguished line-up FIA and eSafetyAware President Jean Todt and Werner Kraus President of ÖAMTC.

As for the demonstrations twelve technologies will be showcased focusing on Electronic Stability Control Blind Spot Monitoring Park Assist ABS for Motorcycles eCall Lane Support Systems Speed Alert Eco-driving Warning and Emergency Braking Systems Adaptive Headlights and Tyre Pressure Monitoring.
