Driver drowsiness detection

Driver drowsiness detection is a car safety technology which helps prevent accidents caused by the driver getting drowsy. Various studies have suggested that around 20% of all road accidents are fatigue-related, up to 50% on certain roads. Some of the current systems learn driver patterns and can detect when a driver is becoming drowsy. Various technologies can be used to try to detect driver drowsiness. Primarily uses steering input from electric power steering system.

Guess what? Tesla does use a system based on steering wheel input, as I’ve italicized in your Wikipedia excerpt above. Have done since they introduced the feature, though they keep tweaking sensitivity (generally to increase it).
