These warnings will then be promptly ignored, because if people won't get off the road when their own bodies are telling them they're too tired to drive, they won't do it when the car starts beeping at them. ]]>Nov 27th 2006 9:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/Nov 27th 2006 9:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/Nov 27th 2006 10:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/Nov 27th 2006 10:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/
That would cause accidents, because you'd pull over to the shoulder every time you hear what you think is an ambulance.]]>Nov 28th 2006 1:02AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/Nov 28th 2006 2:08AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/27/wake-up-mercedes-developing-systems-to-combat-microsleep-behind/
