No Doze: Mercedes E-Class alerts drowsy drivers
With fatigue causing more than 100,000 crashes and 1,500 deaths annually on roads in the United States, Mercedes-
Benz has rushed to make the world’s first drowsy-driver detection system standard on next year’s new E-class sedan.
Mercedes, which has been working on the system for more than 10 years, accelerated its development and will
reveal it at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month.
Mercedes claims its system is an independent judge of fatigue, constantly monitoring a driver’s behavior to send
warning chimes and flare a coffee-cup sign when it senses a serious drop-off in alertness levels.
