Chevrolet Safety Features Built to Fight Distracted Driving

After a distraction, your brain can take some time to fully re-engage with driving, and that’s a dangerous window. Our team knows that Chevrolet safety features go well beyond seatbelts and airbags, offering real-time monitoring that watches for signs of fatigue and distraction. Here’s a closer look at just one available system designed specifically for that challenge from Lester Glenn Chevrolet of Freehold.

Distracted Driving Looks Different Than Most Drivers Expect

It’s not just texting. Eating, adjusting the radio, and glancing at a passenger all pull your attention in different directions, often at the same time. Even hands-free calls create what researchers call “inattention blindness,” narrowing your actual field of vision without you realizing it.

How Driver Attention Assist Watches Over You

Available Driver Attention Assist™ turns on automatically when you start your new Chevrolet model and uses a camera and a sensor in the steering wheel light bar to monitor your eye gaze and detect fatigue. Long blinks, yawning, and repeated glances away from the road all trigger alerts — a yellow coffee cup icon for early-stage drowsiness, and a red icon if things get more serious. If you don’t respond, the system is designed to slow your vehicle to a stop and have an OnStar® Advisor contact emergency services on your behalf.
