Chevrolet is targeting distracted drivers with a new app that allows loved ones to remind you to put the phone down in the car.
The app uses the phone’s speedometer and GPS to detect when the phone is physically picked up while traveling at speeds above 5 mph and plays recorded, personalized messages from friends or family reminding drivers to keep their eyes on the road and their phones down.
According to a recent survey, 84 percent of people admit that distracted driving while handling a phone is dangerous, yet 90 percent of drivers have done it.
