It is looking into artificial intelligence technology that can ascertain how drowsy a driver is and take action to keep them awake . It monitors vital signs , including the rate of blinking , facial expressions , heat loss from the body , and the degree of illuminance of the skin , while additional data about the quality of the driving is also monitored . The system then adjusts the environment in the car , for instance by making it cooler , to stop the driver from drifting off . One risk with driving is feeling tired and losing concentration. The system will be available to vehicle manufacturers for testing this autumn before potential adoption in production .
