Tesla cars will begin to monitor the number of times you blink and yawn while behind the wheel to prevent accidents.
Yawning at the wheel is not a good sign. The symptoms of fatigue appear when least expected and endanger the lives of all the people who are circulating. Tesla wants to end dangerous situations and the plan he has to achieve this is to monitor the signs of fatigue.
Yes, Tesla cars will start monitoring yawning, blinking and other signs of tiredness while driving. The technology of Elon Musk’s company cars will be applied to make drivers safer when driving on the road, even through monitoring.
It may be a measure with double standards due to the fact that Elon Musk himself has made somewhat crazy statements about the situation generated by the automatic control or Autopilot of Tesla in a car accident. In these statements he has excused himself from everything, alleging that the videos in which he spoke of this technology would have been made by AI.
What is intended now is that Tesla cars have the ability to monitor sleep signals. Of course, how will they do it? From what has been seen, it will be done through the camera that is inside the driver’s compartment, which will allow Tesla to collect this information.
Tesla wants to know if you go to sleep while driving
Of course, the information is not official at the moment. In fact, it comes through a well-known hacker in the smart car sector. This hacker is dedicated to revealing all the information that comes from Tesla and the new updates that are implemented in his devices.
What he has seen when exploring the code of the Tesla Model 3, among others, is that Elon Musk’s company would be integrating new information that would request the vehicles to collect the moments in which people behind the wheel show signs of drowsiness such as are yawning or slow blinking.
It is not known if this will later be implemented to the detection for the possible activation of Tesla’s Autopilot, although it would be logical since, until now, your Tesla’s Autopilot required you to move the steering wheel on certain occasions to indicate that you were still awake. Now your Tesla may become smarter and detect when it is necessary, although it will have to wait yet.
