LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Car & Driver, the world's largest automotive enthusiast magazine, unveiled two new devices: the Copilot Fatigue Monitor and Road Patrol Dash Cam. These products address the most pressing safety issues affecting today's drivers: distractedness and exhaustion. Both the Copilot Fatigue Monitor and Road Patrol Dash Cam are on display in CES's Central Hall, Fesco Group Booth #17318 and on the company's website: www.caranddriverdashcams.com.
"We take our role as a leading voice in the automotive industry very seriously," said Steven Shamula, CEO of Summit CE Group and Car & Driver spokesperson. "With these new products, we are reaffirming our commitment to our customers—and the public at large—to create reliable products that not only record your side of the story, but also actively help prevent accidents."
Copilot Fatigue Monitor
According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each year 100,000+ police-reported crashes are a result of driver fatigue, resulting in about 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and an estimated $12.5 billion in monetary losses.
To combat this epidemic, Car & Driver expanded its mission to keep its customers safe with the Copilot Fatigue Monitor.
Using ocular identification technology, the Copilot Fatigue Monitor tracks eye and face movement to detect fatigued and distracted driving. When a driver nods off or becomes distracted, the device produces loud warnings to refocus the driver. As an additional safety measure, users can also invest in an optional vibrating cushion alert.
Road Patrol Dash Cam
The Road Patrol Dash Cam has everything drivers need to record and protect their side of the story. The device includes the high-quality specifications Car & Driver customers have come to expect, including Full HD 1080p recording, 3.7" IPS screen, and a 145° field of view.
Building on classic features and design, the Road Patrol Dash Cam has an upgraded look and new value-added features including forward collision and lane departure warnings that detect and alert drivers of collisions before they occur.
Additional highlighted features include:
- Forward Collision Warning System
- Lane Departure Warning System
- Anti-theft, Motion Triggered Recording
- Accident Auto-Record (G-sensor works while driving and parked)
