I don’t think the systems are new or unique. We test drive a Kia last weekend and it was a feature they called “Driver Attention Warning.”
I’ve seen this in other brands and cars as well.
It looks like these systems use a variety of factors, steering patterns, frequency of vehicle lane assist being activated, cameras evaluating driver, biometrics (heart rate, body temperature etc.), and face monitoring/eye tracking (to see if the driver is focused on the road).
We own a Volvo and have received surveys asking about our comfort level with these features, so I’m assuming this will be commonplace soon.
