The Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS) is a Volvo system that assists the driver by processing information in the car.

If the system perceives that a driver is in a driving situation that requires a lot of attention – such as approaching an intersection or parallel parking – then the system can delay incoming phone calls by a few seconds or until it determines that it’s safe to put the call (or text message) through.

This system will likely be expanded further as more intelligent driving aids are added to vehicles.
