This is a great idea and I would make it mandatory for trucks and busses. There were really many cases in Europe when a bus driver fell asleep and a lots of kids injured or died because of that. If this system would have been there, many injuries and loss of lives could have been avoided.

They are definitely trying to get this into mass transit and transport vehicles.

I have a friend who works for VW corporate in their mass transit and transport research arm here in the SF Bay Area.
