The Call Me Out app was the winning idea developed during a Chevy-sponsored hackathon with students at Wayne State University in Detroit. This app uses recorded messages from the driver's friends and family to deter distracted driving. These audio messages combined with an image of a wagging finger keep the driver focused on the road.

Call Me Out uses the phone's built-in accelerometer and GSP to determine if it picked up whenever speeds increase above 5 MPH.

I’ve written about my own personal experience with the dangers of drowsy driving before. It is a dangerous epidemic that cannot be ignored. After analyzing dashboard videos from 700 accidents, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 9.5% of all crashes involved drowsy driving, based on the portion of time the operators' eyes were closed in the minutes before a crash. This statistic grows to nearly 11% in severe crashes.
