Several news agencies have indicated that a new smartphone app will offer alerts to drivers if they appear to be overly distracted or even drowsy.

That’s right, the cellphone that could pose a serious distraction risk could also save your life.

According to a recent article, a computer scientist at Dartmouth College reported that the app may monitor the position of the motorist’s head, which could send signals to the system telling the app that the driver may not be as alert as he or she should be.

This new app could help to keep drivers from being involved in accidents if they are too tired to focus, multiple reports have indicated.
