Driver Attention Warning (Drowsiness Alert)
Driver attention warning detects signs of fatigue or distraction and alerts the driver to take a break.
What is Driver Attention Warning (Drowsiness Alert)?
It analyses steering behaviour, driving time and sometimes a camera. It is required on new cars in the EU. Alerts are visual and acoustic. Some newer systems use an interior camera to monitor eye movement and head position, and can also detect when the driver looks at a phone for too long.
How it works
The system compares driving behaviour with typical patterns.
Why it matters for your car
Take a break when warned. The system cannot detect all fatigue.
