Everyone has experienced the backseat driver. This is the person who continues to tell the driver all the things he or she is doing wrong. It is the passenger who points out how he or she would have handled a particular situation. All those comments can be quite annoying at the least and distracting at the worst. Drivers are already under an enormous amount of pressure without the help of the backseat driver.

Driver-assist technology has been put in place to protect drivers, passengers, and other cars on the highway or streets, but unintentionally, it may also deal with backseat drivers.
