Far too many car accidents occur when motorists are too fatigued to drive, and soon the Denso Passenger Eye system will be able to tell you when you've hit that point.
Equipped with a face-tracking webcam mounted on the dashboard, the Denso Passenger Eye system works in cooperation with your iPhone, placed within the steering wheel or elsewhere in the cabin.
