In the “safe driving” phase, vehicle systems like those in the new M-Class are able to intervene before an accident can occur. Their awareness can help defuse even critical situations and thus forms the basis for relaxed driving.
ATTENTION ASSIST
This innovative drowsiness-detection system is especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects signs of increasing in attention or drowsiness. Sensors analyse driving behaviour and can detect deviations from a previously determined, individual driver profile.
ATTENTION ASSIST offers the following benefits:
Alerts the driver when signs of drowsiness or inattentiveness are detected
Helps to prevent accidents
Reduces the risk of microsleep by providing a prior warning
