“European Commission officials who are currently devising new safety proposals for car manufacturers may now be drawn to recommend making the cameras compulsory.  Called the Eyetracker, the institute’s device used a series of tiny cameras to monitor eye movements 200 times a second, triggering an alarm when drivers seemed about to nod off. It opens the prospect of future generations of motor vehicle being able to automatically slow down or stop if the driver falls asleep – potentially saving hundreds of lives a year world-wide.  Volvo has already developed a one-inch diameter dashboard-mounted camera which monitors a driver’s gaze and whether his or her eyelids are closing.”
