I've had my GT for almost a year now. Distracted and drowsy driver alerts are a constant problem when I have the system activated. It may be because I wear glasses? It seems to occur when I'm driving obliquely into the sun. For this reason I have inactivated the alerts. I reported the problem shortly after I took possession of the car. I occasionally reactivate the system to see if an update has corrected it but the problem persists.
My Mercedes (and I would imagine, many other ICE cars) asks to show the nearest gas stations when the fuel tank is nearly empty. It never occurred to me to confuse this for a sales pitch.
Now, if the embedded Alexa were to automatically order the drowsy driver a caffeinated beverage from the nearest Whole Foods, that would be a different matter
May I ask, do you not have a modern cell phone, use facebook, instagram, twitter, or any social media. Do you not use siri or alexa or google products? Just asking because do you realize that you are being tracked and fed tailored advertisements in your feed and search results based on your usage patterns. Much more intrusive AI into your existence than to say the car is purposefully selling you to buy coffee at a random selection of coffee shops that are closest to your destination and that are not even brand specific. If only Starbucks showed up, then maybe, something fishy is going on. But alas, just turn off the drowsy driver warning.
Lots of people have seen false distracted driver alerts including me. I agree it seems particularly bad when driving into the sun. I have never had a false drowsy driver alert and I have not seen that reported as an issue. Are you seeing both false distracted drive and drowsy drive alerts?
I was going to say this. Are you get the drowsy alert or pay attention to the road alert?
I've noticed this come on a few times that seemed unprompted, and wonder if it's my glasses or: I always look exhausted. If the camera uses my "well-rested" face as the baseline it won't know the difference =it should never come on. Is there one that you can't turn off ? because I thought I had but no. I hadn't noticed but I think it's the distracted driver that's twitchy.
This. A major reason I decide to get a new car is the safety features. I and two of my sisters have fallen asleep and run off the road totaling the cars. By the time you sense you are tired it too late.
Mine looks like a pint ...
There have been reports of people's preference for Lane Keep assist being lost, particularly after an update. So if you've turned it off, it may pop back on every now and then. (Another gremlin in the profile system.) You would know because when Lane Keep is off, you get a constant warning light at the bottom right of the center screen.I've noticed this come on a few times that seemed unprompted, and wonder if it's my glasses or: I always look exhausted.

The other thing I don't like is the lane keeping on curse control (or whatever it is)...annoying jerking me around...I thought I turned that off too? I have very few highway miles so still learning these features. I like drifting from line to line; it scares the people around me. I leaned this from my wife's skiing...whenever it's crowded she starts flailing her arms and skiing ineptly = everyone avoids her line.

I have exactly the same issue. Random and goes away after a lock and reopen.
I think for liability? Maybe with sentry and dashcam mode it might come in handy to prove you weren't distracted
