My Mercedes E550 has it too, and it is used for drowsiness detection. The car suggests you should take a break if you look tired or like you will fall asleep. I have had warning to stop and take a break come on only once and I was indeed incredibly tired.
- hangonhn 9y agoWow, I rented a MB once and it did that, which was absolutely the right call. The thing was that I initially ignored it and thought MB used a timer or something but 15 minutes later, I became aware of it and it was quite acute by the time I was aware of it. I've always wondered how it knew that.
- noxryan 9y agoDo you have a source for this? My understanding is the Mercedes "Attention Assist" is based off driving behavior and not a camera pointed at the driver.
- rgbrenner 9y agomb doesnt use a camera.. it's based on your steering wheel inputs. There is at least one manufacturer doing it though: DS has "driver attention monitoring" which does use a driver facing camera. wikipedia has a good list of what manufacturers are using: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_drowsiness_detection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_drowsiness_detection
