Сondition of the driver

Starting in 2022 cars in Europe will monitor the condition of the driver.

From 2022, sensors should be displayed in all cars, buses and trucks in the European Union to monitor the status of the driver. If the driver starts to fall asleep or just get distracted from the road (for example, on a smartphone), the sensors will warn him. This is one of the measures that the European Union intends to take in order to make European roads safer.

There are several technologies that allow you to monitor the status of the driver. Among them - built-in cameras that track the expression of the driver's face; sensors in the steering wheel, which feel how confident a person is driving; and external cameras that track how strictly the machine adheres to the selected lane.

Other requirements include mandatory integrated lane sensors, advanced automatic braking, updated seat belts.

These requirements have already been approved by deputies of the relevant committee of the European Parliament, now the deputies should vote for the proposed amendments.

The number of deaths on EU roads is constantly decreasing: over the past 20 years, car accident victims have decreased by 60%. At the same time, according to the initiators of the new rules, up to 90% of accidents with injuries happen due to the human factor.
