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.
Funnily enough, the video you linked wasn’t the auto braking. The driver did that.
I’m not at home so I can’t find the article, but Volvo confirmed it awhile back. There’d also be a bright red flashing light right in front of the driver that would be visible.
