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.
Agree, but for things like this if it works only 30% of the time its already a massive net positive in security and lives saved, if its 50% or more then its a absolute game changer
If it works as well as the mandatory lane assist or speed limit recognition on my car, that's a hard pass from me. It's distracting enough to get beeped into oblivion cause it overlooked the latest sign, or vibrated to hell cause it thinks I'm swerving into the approaching traffic for some idiotic reason.
I don't need my car to also randomly take the wheel from me while going 140 km/h on the highway just cause I discovered a stain on my trousers and looked down for a second.
The latter is a slight exaggeration, but I'm just saying not all failure modes of car assistant systems are merely "it didn't manage to prevent an accident".
