Your smartphone could soon make you a safer driver.



By mounting the smartphone on the windscreen of the car, the CarSafe app uses the forward-facing camera to monitor drowsiness and distraction signals from the driver, including the way their head is positioned, how often they’re blinking and their eye movement by using an algorithm to spot micro-sleeps and fatigue.
If a problem is detected, a coffee cup icon and audible warning will pop-up on the phone’s screen,According to the developers, the Android phone app also uses the rear-facing camera to keep an electronic eye on the exterior of the car, and can warn the driver of potential lane-change problems, risky drivers, dangerous road conditions, and even advise the driver if they’re too close to the car in front. If this happens, a red light will flash on the phone’s screen with a beep to advise the driver.
