The Cool & Tecky at New York Auto Show

The Nissan Maxima’s Drowsy Alert Feature allows the wheel to warn you about falling asleep when the car detects unusual behavior related to how the driver handles the wheel — like when they stop making small corrections to the steering wheel or slow down their movements all together — the dashboard pushes out an audio and visual alert that says, "Take a Break?".

Other Nissan features include geo-fencing technology, which knows when a teenager goes out of driving range if parents set limits on how far they can travel, and an app that allows you to remotely start the vehicle, from wherever you are. The infotainment system lets you swipe and move your GPS directions to your dashboard, as well as updates you on sports scores and the stock market.
