while driving around yesterday i got to wondering if any auto makers have done any research on “driver awareness systems”? what i mean by that is some sort of setup in the car that tracks where the driver is looking and adjusts the car appropriately. for example, if you are looking to the side view mirror and you wish that it was maybe pointed a bit farther away from the car so you could see the exit lane to your right.  the system would track that you are looking toward the edge of the mirror and move it out accordingly.  i know there are eye/facial tracking systems out there already that work pretty well, so could this be incorporated into a car?

so instead of spending time searching for info on this i thought i’d implement a little experiment here. if you know of any good articles related to this idea, post them in the comments.
