Tech Developed to Prevent Drowsy Driving
Automotive supplier Hyundai Mobis has unveiled technology designed to detect when a driver is dozing off and leaving the road, so vehicle control can be transitioned to autonomous driving mode and the car can be pulled over safely and stopped.
The company showcased its latest DDREM (Departed Driver Rescue and Exit Maneuver) technology at the Consumer Electronics Show last week.
By focusing only on the safety benefits of autonomous driving, DDREM technology will bring such advantages to market more quickly and prevent one of the five major causes of vehicle fatalities — drowsy driving, according to Hyundai Mobis.
