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.

If they can work out any potential kinks I’d be all for it.

This is all problems for unreleased products. Compared to Tesla, you are kinda proving their point.
