There are some days that we have to make extremely long trips and no matter how many energy drinks we guzzle down – looking at the monotonous road always makes us want to shut our eyes and sleep. It is a dangerous problem that many people find themselves in – but it seems that Mercedes may have found a way to prevent accidents when this happens.
Mercedes Benz has created the Attention Assist System – which warns drivers when they are getting tired and drowsy at the wheel. Mercedes engineers have placed tiny sensors around the exterior and the interior of the vehicle that will detect any sign of trouble.
If it senses anything it will check the drivers profile, what time in the day it is, and what direction it is going in. The AA system does all of this to calculate if there is any risk of an accident.
The system has been created to help the tired drivers of the world – but can also be used for those people who drive while intoxicated. The system could keep these people occupied on driving straight instead of weaving all over the road. The picture below gives you an idea of what each sensor area does.
