Digital Cameras Help Alert Sleepy Drivers

Posted by samzenpus on from the let-the-car-do-the-driving dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An interesting story on how digital cameras are being mounted in cars to watch the eye movements of drivers to make sure that they are awake. The cars include two cameras, one watching the road and one watching the driver. If there is something on the road that is a danger and the driver doesn't see, the car alerts the driver. Pretty neat technology."

    In cities, this kind of "decide the destination" driving without the hassle of actually driving the vehicle would be really useful, I think.

    Great idea! We could call it Taxi!

    Damn, you wont ever convince a girl to do a blowjob in your car when she sees a camera.
