Driver Monitoring System Tech

It’s kinda great…

There are many systems of your car that attempt to always avoid a crash by control the brake and things around the car. But it, a precrash safety system that’s developed by Toyota, is different. This Toyota’s latest precrash safety system is turning its attention to the most likely cause of an accident: YOU. Last spring, Lexus models in Japan will be available with a camera mounted on the steering column that uses facial-recognition software to determine whether you’re watching the road. If not, and the front-mounted radar sees you’re getting too close to something, it will flash a light, then beep and tap the brakes if you persist in rubbernecking. Feel secure?
