Speaking to ANI, Gaurav Savvalakhe, driver and developer of this device said, "I almost met with an accident while driving at night recently due to sleep. So I thought of making a device that gives an alert if someone sleeps while driving so that the accident could be averted."

"If we fall asleep while driving and our head tilt at a 30-degree angle, an alarm goes off from the device which also vibrates waking up the driver," he added. (ANI)
