Warning system to avoid car accidents

Hi,
Spanish researchers have developed a new warning system for cars which alerts the driver if he gets distracted or is driving in drowsiness. "If the system detects that the driver is getting drowsy or that he or she is distracted from the road, the driver is warned by an audible signal to alert him or her to the dangerous situation," said Professor Josi Marma Armingol from the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid to Science Daily.

Did you buy that warning system yet? :D

How does this system differentiate itself from the alert driver systems developed by Volvo and Mercedes-Benz? And why is it better?

I am not sure how this works. But it sounds a good technique.has anyone bought it yet?
