Feedback requested - ADAS App
I've been toiling away on a not particularly very secret project, building an aftermarket adaptive cruise control using computer vision and deep learning. My partner and I quit our jobs a couple weeks ago to work on it full time, and while we have a prototype working on 3 cars (Miata, Volt, Soul), we're putting the hardware component on ice for the time being while we roll a set of features we were building for the hardware device into an app. I'd like your feedback on that app.
The idea is that you'd mount your phone facing forwards and our app would run in the background and predict and help you avoid collisions. The goal is for the app to process the camera feed, GPS and accelerometer in real time, and do the following:
Best: PM me your phone number and a good time to call, and I'll take 10 minutes of your time to ask you some questions
Best: You have an Android phone with a Snapdragon 820 or higher chipset and want to be an alpha tester, we have a form for that
Also helpful: post here telling me this is a stupid idea that will never work and you would never use an app like this and you hate me

- Alert you if you are drifting out of your lane
- Alert you if you need to jam on the brakes
- Alert you if the light has turned green and traffic is moving and you are just sitting there like an idiot
- Records your driving, uploads and saves bits that seem important (heaving braking etc.) or any snippets you've tagged

I've got a $10 Amazon gift card* for anyone who wants to spend 10 minutes on the phone talking about their daily driver, what they do with their phone and what they think of the app we're building.
*this isn't any kind of formal offer, and I reserve the right to do whatever I want, including not giving you said card for any reason including but not limited to not liking your face
