Drive Assist

UAE

Drive Assist is designed to enhance driver safety. Using AI, it detects if the driver's eyes are open or closed. If distraction is detected for too long, an alarm sounds, and a voice guide prompts the driver to refocus. If unresponsive, the app alerts the user that authorities have been notified. It also caters to deaf/hard-of-hearing drivers with a red flash, alarm, and vibration.
