You ever been almost asleep behind the wheel? Soon, no one need you more to wake up, because once your eyes are slammed shut, your belt in action.

That is, in any case, the idea behind Harken, a seatbelt that wakes you up to keep in mind if you drive. The system behind this smart belt use sensors in your seat and belt, which can be measured how you are breathing and what your heart rate is at that time. A combination of these two factors can predict when you close your eyes threaten to fall.

Harken warns not only do you, but ask you then, with a short break to take, so that you do not wake up scared of the airbag that is in your face plant. The researchers behind Rakes have already a prototype will be tested behind closed doors and now wants to get on the road, to experience or the results there look promising.
