Coffee Break Message??

[NextTruck]

10 minutes into my morning commute and this pops up on the dash?? Never saw this before, has anyone else? "DIRVER ALERT WARNING. REST SUGGESTED" . This was displayed center dash. Can't seem to get a picture uploaded.

Yes. It thinks you are weaving or drifting to the side too much

Hmmm. Just happened on an on-ramp.

When I got mine, it didn’t make sense either.

Yes got it occasionally. If you approach lane edge slowly or maybe move the steering wheel minutely back and forth. Not sure but think I have gotten it if I close eyes longer than a normal blink or look for a button to push which could cause computer to think driver needs a nap!

if this link works there is a video as well just below which kind of explains it. Just a safety feature.

Are you an irregular driver?

If mine alerts me I’ll swing in and grab a good cup of java. I don’t argue with the Mav.

Can someone 3D print a Nodoz dispenser for the screen cubby? I must appease the electronic transportation overlords.

Hmmm. Just happened on an on-ramp.

it was because of what you had been doing before that. usually it is when you are reacting slowly, driving outside the lines, and either tired or distracted.

the software generally isn't wrong but if there are poor lane markings due to construction, or bad visibility from glare, rain etc then it could get it wrong.

Good to know. I have lane centering on my Truck but never use it. Just a bit weird and can be jerky.

^^ This. ^^

I find it useful, however. It has detected times when I was actually needing a break and coffee.

Very helpful, thanks. I'm all for any safety feature (short of auto pilot) that may help prevent accidents and injuries. At this point I don't think AI is sophisticated enough for auto pilot and even it were, I'd be cautious. After all, driving should have some element of satisfaction.

Seems to tell yawning and head nods. Back when I had a latest and greatest versions after the big attack hack on my devices, it turned on sleep mode on my phone as well.
