Drivers are becoming more and more dependent on their vehicle’s sophisticated features, such as dashcams and driver monitoring systems. They can be great tools to hold reckless drivers accountable for unsafe behaviors that endanger others on the road.
When Tesla’s driver monitoring systems detects a driver is not paying attention, the vehicle issues a series of warnings. The system may disengage these advanced features until the driver resumes safe behavior.
“This technology is useful for accident prevention as the real-time feedback makes drivers actively aware of their reckless actions, whether its diverting attention to a smartphone, running red lights, or failing to brake properly,” says Rocio Gosewehr Hernandez, a personal injury lawyer at Snellings Law in North Texas.
