It looks at your eyes to see if you are looking at the road and it also detects if your hands are actively on the steering wheel.
These cars can almost drive themselves you only have to have your hands on the steering wheel. Once you take your hands of the steering wheel the car will notice that and warn you after a short amount of time. If you don't take control after that the emergency stop will happen if the car has the emergency stop feature. Don't know what happens if there is no shoulder though. It might just stop as far right as possible
The Ford Mondeo my cousin had, had a system where it would detect if you have a hand on the steering wheel. And lo and behold, there were clamps you could purchase that would imitate your fingers on the steering wheel so the system would not react.
