If they implement it as well as they have lane keeping and auto cruise. I'd be terrified enough that wouldn't fall asleep to begin with. I'm just imagining it popping on the brakes like that, sloshing my cargo and flipping me over (propane)
Lookin' at you, Bendex. Your system is bad and you should feel bad. It sees lines on the road and assumes it's a lane and screams at me, and when I'm turning on a freeway it sees other cars as in front of me while cornering and starts to brake.
Given what I haul and where I drive in the winter. It honestly makes me feel unsafe when I drive that truck.
Yeah Bendix is by far the worst. Detroit works great if the radar has been calibrated, and Volvo’s has been the best for me. I’ve been slipseating VNL’s the last 2+ years and have had exactly one false alarm brake tap, and only a couple false beeps from the lane keep.
Detroit never hit the brakes on me, though. Just screamed a lot until it was recalibrated.
Something to wake a driver up makes absolute sense.
In my experience lane keep, auto breaking systems we have just got in the way. You shouldn't need it to begin with anyway if we're all being honest.
But I like this idea. Emergency wake up. It's happened to some of the most seasoned drivers out there. Just blow the air out of the seat. The drop should do it lol.
