I've never heard of it until the Mercedes CLA was announced. It seems very impressive but I don't understand it at all. Is this exclusively Mercedes technology or is it a common feature in newer vehicles? Does anyone have any experience with it?
Attention Assist

it's quite crazy how the system works, great video, it will help a lot of people get a better understanding of how it all works.
I feel like this is a lot of technology to tell you something that you already know. If I'm tired at the wheel, I know that I am tired. A little coffee cup symbol telling me I'm tired will not be a revelation.
The Attention Assist technology will be more useful in conjunction with anti-lane drifting technology that actually helps you steer the car.

Unfortunately not everyone is as responsible as you, mr smith
Sleep-deprived driving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"It has been estimated that between 16% and 60% of all accidents have sleep deprivation as a cause."
Scary stuff!
I also think that people will continue to drive despite this system. A small amount of people will stop though, or switch drivers if they have that option, so some good will come of it. It almost works best at informing passengers that their driver is tired. Then your passengers can be like, "hey, you doing ok? The car says you are falling asleep."
