In any event, more sophisticated driver-monitoring technology would help. State-of-the-art systems from companies like Subaru and Cadillac are based on cameras and eye-tracking software. A system like that can tell whether drivers are looking at the road, looking down at their lap, or have their eyes closed and are slumped over in their seat. This kind of system could immediately take action if drivers appear to be asleep.

Good ole Baxter posting While England playing. Wining 5 3

Missed the $23 million RNS then, adding to break even sooner. You need to wait after 23rd maybe to make you smile hopefully :)

So if thats the Bosch connected, where does Conti come in?

John
Is that good or bad?

Is that blue led steering wheel in the pic? New ESF Concept

Some companies, such as General Motors Co., have installed cameras in vehicles that monitor eye movements to ensure drivers are watching the road. Tesla monitors driver engagement by detecting steering wheel feedback caused by a driver’s hands resting on the wheel. The company also instructs drivers using Autopilot to remain attentive at all times, and dashboard prompts require them to acknowledge that responsibility.

Jason Levine, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, said manufacturers should make sure drivers are ready to take over in an emergency.

“Because the technology isn’t great at everything, it’s important that the driver stay engaged at all times,” he said.

Welcome Ken to this board.
So on that basis and the trials finished would you expect TFL to install on all their buses over the coming year or two?
Also are other tram companies or bus companies doing trials and what’s the likelihood of taking this market by storm?

Legislation has to be coming soon?

And keep their eyes on the road.

So far, Tesla is the only carmaker cited by the National Transportation Safety Board in an accident investigation for how it designed its partially autonomous system, but the case highlights the broader limitations of similar technology. It also puts a spotlight on a related concern: how to keep the imperfect humans behind the wheel engaged.

Order coming surely?

London’s public transport authority watered down an alarming internal report about faults in the fatigue management of the tram operator involved in the Croydon tragedy that killed seven people and injured 62, according to documents seen by BuzzFeed News.

Eight months on from the Croydon crash in November 2016 that raised urgent questions about whether poor safety practices were putting passengers in danger, senior managers at Transport for London removed critical comments from an audit of fatigue controls at Tram Operations Limited (TOL), the division of FirstGroup that operates the London Tramlink service, after the company complained that it was too negative, the documents show.
Caroline Pidgeon, a Liberal Democrat member of the London assembly, said: “To now discover that TfL’s report on fatigue faced by tram drivers went through a process of being toned down, seemingly at the request of Tram Operations Limited, provides further clear evidence of a culture towards safety issues that needs to be urgently addressed.”
The controversy is likely to intensify next week when Liebreich gives evidence to a London assembly committee that is investigating bus and tram safety. Liebreich, a Conservative financier who was appointed to the TfL board by Boris Johnson in 2012 — and once considered running for the mayoralty himself — is expected to criticise TfL’s handling of the fatigue audit and its safety record generally.

Is this us?

The new fleet includes technologies that ensure safe driving by reducing driver fatigue, increasing fuel-efficiency, and stabilising fuel-efficiency.

Wink wink Nudge nudge. I wonder?
The tech inside the concept includes instruments that are intuitively operated by eye-tracking and gesture control, some even via holograms — highly oriented toward the driver by automatically adjusting the displays to the driver’s position.
