The advancement in the technology has made the automobiles become feasible, scalable, and faster. There is an enormous increase in the vehicles’ quantity in the past 10 years. But the safety of people driving still remains the major concern as with the increase in the number of vehicles there is an increase in the number of accidents. Presently, the steps taken for the safety of drivers until now are unable to provide the complete solution. There are some situations when drivers especially the elderly ones are unable to drive carefully and thus leading to the accidents. If the services provided by the automobiles manufactures are proper enough then several fatal road accidents can be avoided. The condition of the driver and vehicle should be monitored at regular instants while driving in order to maintain the safety on the road. If all the information about the driver is monitored and there is a case of emergency then SOS is sent to the interested people, then several lives can be saved. In this paper, the network of sensors is used to monitor the condition of the driver. The eye blink sensor, the GSR sensor, the vision sensor, alcohol gas sensor, comfort sensors, sensors related to the vehicle condition, weather sensors, road sensors, and others can be used to monitor the condition of the driver, vehicle, and the surroundings. The sensed data gets monitored and analyzed by RPi and then depending on the results the commands are given to the vehicle. In case of emergency situation, the SOS is sent to the other people so that people belonging to the driver can come for the rescue.
