With its lifesaver from the data cloud, Robert Bosch GmbH now warns of wrong-way drivers in around 15 European countries. In order to detect a wrong-way exit onto the freeway, the cloud-based software compares the actual movement of the vehicle with permitted driving directions stored in a database.
It is sufficient for the driver to have the Focus Online app open in the background with the function activated (can be set under Settings / Wrong-way driver warning). In the event of impermissible deviations, the driver is made aware of his error by a push notification on his smartphone. At the same time, oncoming connected cars in the vicinity are warned.
