Lexus LS600hl features the new Driver Monitor System

Another safety
feature added to the Lexus cap is the Driver Monitor System. The system
includes a face detection camera, mounted on the top of the steering
wheel. The camera is fixed on the steering column and it keeps an eye
on you while you drive. The moment it senses that you have been
distracted and not looking at the road ahead for longer than necessary,
and if there is an obstacle detected ahead, it then alerts you first
with a warning sound and a flashing light. As the car heads towards the
obstacle, the APCS begins to gently apply the brakes on its own.




To lend you a hand in negotiating around the obstacle, the system
reprograms the steering ratio, amplifying the intensity and quickness
of the steering response. At the same time the system automatically
retracts the front seatbelts and prepares the brake system to apply
with full force should you press on it. Thus saving you from a possible
impact. This safety feature is available in the Lexus LS600hl.
