The Benefits of DriveSharp Brain Fitness Training
Decades of research show the technology in DriveSharp:

• Speeds up visual processing and increases "useful field of view" so drivers see more of the road with each glance
• Decreases reaction time, so drivers can stop 22 feet sooner at 55 mph
• Cuts at-fault crash risk by 50%

These improvements often make drivers feel surer behind the wheel, giving them the confidence to drive in unfamiliar places and difficult conditions.

Brain Training that Works for You
DriveSharp is our shortest brain training program. It has 10 hours of content split into 20 minute training sessions. Of course, if you prefer to train for longer or shorter periods, or work for more than 10 hours, you can do that, too. It's designed to fit into your schedule.

As with all our programs, DriveSharp adapts to your unique level so that you're always working your brain at the optimal level. The program also helps you understand your progress by giving examples relating your individual improvement to driving and other real-life scenarios.

How Does Brain Fitness Training Improve Driving Skills?

Driving safely and confidently requires fast visual processing. While the eyes absorb a visual scene through your windshield, it's the brain's job to make sense of that scene and decide how to respond to it. Often, a few milliseconds can make the difference between getting off at the right freeway exit and missing it, pulling into a great parking place and losing it to another car, or getting in a collision and avoiding it.

The three visual processing exercises in DriveSharp help your brain take in more with every glance so you can react faster. These exercises increase your processing speed (so you can react quicker), enlarge your field of view (so you see dangers sooner), and improve your ability to keep track of multiple moving objects (like cars, trucks, and bicycles).

In this way, DriveSharp takes a unique approach to driving safety. It improves the brain in the ways that are most important to safe driving. Those basic skills can't be taught through driving simulators or in on-road practice classes.

The brain's role in sight is so important that brain speed and "field of view" are actually proven to be better predictors of crash risk than the eye chart exam required by the Department of Motor Vehicles!

Proven in Labs

All of Posit Science's programs have been proven effective in gold-standard clinical studies.

Since DriveSharp is a subset of InSight, many of the same published studies apply. These studies have shown a series of benefits from using DriveSharp for just 10 hours, and indicate that many of the benefits of safer driving extend far beyond the arena of driving. Among other things, these studies show that the technology in DriveSharp:

• Increases visual processing speed by up to 300%
• Doubles the size of useful field of view
• Improves reaction time so a driver can stop 22 feet sooner when traveling at 55 mph
• Decreases unsafe driving maneuvers by 38%
• Cuts risk of a car accident by 50%
• Helps adults 65+ keep driving in difficult conditions, such as new places, traffic, or bad weather
• Keeps drivers safely on the road later in life

Since driving is so important to social connection and independence, DriveSharp technology can even increase lifespan.

Additional studies are underway.

Proven in Lives

People use DriveSharp for different reasons—some because they have become more fearful of driving, some because they have noticed changes in their driving, and others as a preventative measure. Here's what they say:

At 49, Maggie Sledge is very sharp—but still feels DriveSharp gave her an extra edge.

75-year-old Terrell Cole say DriveSharp has improved his peripheral visions made him feel more confident behind the wheel.
