Sleeping driver alarm system
Toyota is currently working on a system to alert drivers when they fall asleep.

The Lexus LS600H already has a face monitoring system in front of the driver that emits a loud alarm if it catches you spending too long looking away from the road and will apply the brakes if it thinks a crash is imminent. Via Gizmodo
