  • Customers are already seeing immediate value from SmartSense for Inattentive Driving+.
  • Using two cameras built into in a single unit, the solution provides complete visibility of the entire cab and details of the driver’s face, eyes, and hands to identify drowsiness, sleep, phone use, cigarette use, seatbelt use, and other safety-critical behaviors.
  • SmartSense for Inattentive Driving+ enhances the risk detection that is already built into the SR4, continually making the thousands of vehicles on the road equipped with an SR4 smarter with each and every mile driven.
