My colleague, Vikashini Gopalakrishnan, posed a fascinating question to me…

Would a driver monitoring mechanism help drivers stay alert?

My answer - absolutely.

We already have various mechanisms that can accomplish this.

Acoustic alerts

Movement alerts

Automated emergency brake takes over

If the driver is needed, all of these are necessary.
