Onstar Proactive Alert System
Chevy Creates OnStar Proactive Alert System
Aiming to inhibit car owners from getting an unwanted surprise when they turn the key, Chevrolet has developed the OnStar Proactive Alert System. This revolutionary technology detects if something is not quite right under the hood and will prompt motorists to get their vehicle serviced before the onset of costlier or ill-timed breakdowns.
Chevrolet reveals that Proactive Alert gets inspiration from the Boeing 787, which can send mid-flight messages to the ground crew if its spots a part that requires inspection. Each time the car is started, the system gathers data regarding the health of main components, including the fuel pump, 12-volt battery, and starter motor, and compares it against data collected
