For its initial run, the predictive technology will cover key components such as battery, starter motor, and fuel pump. These are just the bare essentials for a well running car, however, and more parts are expected to be added to the list in the coming years.
At the moment, Chevrolet models that already have OnStar connections actually already receive monthly reports on tire pressure and oil life of the car sent through the owner's email. The new system, however, is more up to date and will warn users before the problem starts and not in a monthly cycle only. The new Driver Assurance feature will make its way first into a select few, including the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox, Tahoe, Suburban, Corvette, Silverado and Silverado HD, particularly those with certain powertrains. More are promised to come throughout 2016.
