Ford Lane Keeping System detects drowsy drivers

Ford Lane Keeping System detects drowsy drivers

If you've ever gotten sleepy behind the wheel, you would know how dangerous it can be. Well, the folks over at Ford have come up with a solution (even though the best solution is to just don't drive when you're sleepy) that aims to prevent sleepy drivers from getting into accidents. Called the Lane Keeping System, it continually monitors the vehicle's lane position and will notify a driver if it detects inattentiveness with a coffee cup warning light on the dashboard. In addition to the warning light, the system produces a warning chime and vibrates the steering wheel in case the driver doesn't notice it.
