Far too many car accidents occur when motorists are too fatigued to drive, and soon the Denso Passenger Eye system will be able to tell you when you've hit that point.
Equipped with a face-tracking webcam mounted on the dashboard, the Denso Passenger Eye system works in cooperation with your iPhone, placed within the steering wheel or elsewhere in the cabin. With an eye on 17 facial points, the Denso Passenger Eye system can detect the early signs of fatigue from your expressions, before signaling a warning and directing you to the nearest 24-hour coffee shop.
