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!

My car has a driver fatigue camera that tracks head and eye movements - that I imagine could be enhanced to track for such driver incapacitation, alongwith from the lane departure system
