Stellantis Has Equipped 1.8 Million Vehicles With Emergency Vehicle Alert System!​

HELP® Alerts Drivers To Disabled Passenger & Commercial Vehicles Nearby...​

More than 1.8 million Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep® brand vehicles on the road in the United States and Canada give drivers in-vehicle notification of an active fire truck, ambulance, or other nearby roadway hazards with the Emergency Vehicle Alert System (E.V.A.S.) feature of the Uconnect connected vehicle platform.

 
This system is HORRIBLE and is going to kill far more people than it saves. On a recent road trip it came up at least a dozen times, each time distracting my attention from the road, and the hazard it was warning about wasn't there even once. Several of those times were back to back while navigating through a quick "stay left, stay right, stay left" situation and every time I wanted to glance at the map it was covered with an alert about either a work zone or tow truck (again, none of which actually existed).

This "feature" is the boy calling wolf in a way that distracts the driver from watching the road.
