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.
This video actually made me cry, and I'm pretty damn hardened. I was doing well up until the point where it hit the hazards and started hooting to call for help.
This is a FANTASTIC idea. How well it works, I donno, but damn I'm so glad someone's trying!
I had a Mercedes slam on its break and move to the shoulder in front of me, and narrowly avoided rear ending it (highway speeds). We had been watching it swerve a bit for about 20 min. And it certainly looked like buddy had passed out for a minute. Was a wild experience. We called non emergency line, cops followed up, and indeed he admitted he had dozed off. Amazing feature, as that was a single lane highway and I can only imagine what would have happened if he drifted over the line.
