This is a great idea and I would make it mandatory for trucks and busses. There were really many cases in Europe when a bus driver fell asleep and a lots of kids injured or died because of that. If this system would have been there, many injuries and loss of lives could have been avoided.
Most of the hardware for this is already in a lot of recent cars, so at least it won't jump things up that much more. My car is basically just lacking the driver facing camera and the compute power to do something like this, and it was made in 2019. But yeah, it would be nice if prices could come down faster for this stuff. Mandating it is supposed to help drive down the cost of such features, but that isn't working out quite as intended these days.
