How do driver-assist technologies like Toyota Advanced Drive know if the driver is paying attention?
As noted above, Toyota Advanced Drive, along with other driver-assist technologies in modern cars, are for use under the supervision of a driver. This means that they aren’t fully autonomous but rely on a driver to regulate their actions. So, you may be wondering how it’s possible for a machine to know if it’s being supervised. Here’s how.
- The system uses a driver monitor camera to see if the driver’s eyes are opened or closed to prevent sleeping on the road.
- The system uses the same camera to make sure the driver is facing forward and paying attention.
- A steering wheel sensor makes sure that hands are on the wheel while the system is in use.
What are the benefits of partially automated driving systems?
