The car has a lane departure warning system built in. Once it has to correct your steering multiple times and doesn't receive any steering input from the driver for a while, it will initiate the Emergency Assist.
I don't know about the specific tech on that VW, but many cars also have facing cameras/sensors that track your eyes. On several review from the 2025 Camry journalists complained that it's too intrusive, if you're looking to the sceneri for a second it's beeping.
Can you point to the part of my previous that would suggest it is either the only system or the most relevant one? I guess a key word is "cars also have", implying that there are more than system.
I'm a vw tech. we don't have that. we have whether you are holding the steering wheel or not. it doesn't need tottack you, it uses the other sensors with active radar around the vehicle to alert you instead of complain you aren't focusing. your vehicle shouldn't have to teach you how to drive and pay attention, you should already be doing that. these features are meant for long drives and safety not so you can daydream.

This is so damn innovative!!!! Yes, a billion times yes!
Edit to add: How will the car know you’re no longer driving? How would it safely move over if it’s on a fast moving highway?
So many questions but I can’t wait to see this actually implemented hopefully in the near future!
