Daimler Buses demonstrates modern safety and drive systems under real-life conditions
In particular, the electronic assistance systems can contribute as far as possible to keeping moments of inattentiveness due to fatigue, stress or distraction from having serious consequences. This benefits not only truck or bus/touring coach drivers and passengers, but also all other road users traveling by car, bicycle or on foot.

Do not remember a mention of trucks before !

Based on the use of new technologies to prevent road accidents, TotalEnergies has made it mandatory for all new heavy vehicles in the Marketing & Services segment to be equipped with certain driver assistance systems230 wherever these technologies are offered by manufacturers. In Marketing & Services, the decision was also made to deploy fatigue detection systems in countries with high road risk, after conclusive testing over several months. More than 2,600 transportation vehicles had been equipped in Africa zone by the end of 2022 (approximately 50% of the entire fleet under long-term contract in the zone). Deployment is now continuing worldwide, with the aim of having a lane departure warning system and a driver drowsiness and distraction detection system on all the fleet by the end of 2024.
Entering the company's remote operations centre in Southampton is like walking on to a futuristic film set. The dimly lit room is vast, and it's filled with 20 "bridge stations", each fitted with gaming-like controls and touch screens.
Operators sitting in their high-backed chairs watch a bank of monitors displaying a live stream coming from the ship's cameras and a multitude of sensors.
If this takes off it sounds more urgent than a road tanker. Dimly lit room with a high backed chair. Snooze time.

Could explain why 10 people are in LA
My question would be when does SEE get paid ? Am I correct in thinking that Ford give a free three month trial. Does SEE get paid in this period? If the customer does not continue is the software removed ? If the software stays in the car but is not used does SEE get paid ? Getting a fee for 500,000 cars sound great but how much will we be paid?
