Your Tesla Can Now Warn You If You're Drowsy Behind The Wheel

The feature is automatically activated when driving over 40 miles per hour for at least 10 minutes without Autopilot being engaged.

Tesla cars already monitor the driver to make sure they’re paying attention to the road ahead and not staring at a smartphone, but things are about to get a bit more intense because the Austin-based company’s EVs will start monitoring the driver for drowsiness, according to a report from Electrek, quoting the European user manuals of Tesla vehicles. Dubbed “Driver Drowsiness Warning,” the feature does exactly what it says.

This is a bit concerning, seeing how one might take their eyes off the road when the driving assistance system is engaged, but it’s worth noting that Tesla has been monitoring drivers to see if they’re looking ahead from 2021.
