Attention Assist
Don't fall asleep!

"Driver fatigue probably causes more serious accidents than drunk driving."
Jörg Breuer, Head of Active Safety Mercedes-Benz Cars
 
Sleeping can be fatal — especially if it occurs at the wheel of a car. Microsleep is a common cause of traffic accidents. Although some of them are minor, most are quite serious. In 2002, Group Research launched a fatigue recognition project, which was transferred to the development units two years later. The result of this work is an innovative assistance system known as "Attention Assist".
