How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

Mercedes-Benz is once again leading the charge with an industry-first feature through ATTENTION ASSIST®. By using a precise algorithm and advanced sensor technology, the system can detect when drivers are becoming to drowsy or fatigued to be driving. The system works as follows:

  1. Over 70 parameters are used during the initial minutes of the drive, helping to assess your individual driving style.
  2. Throughout your commute, ATTENTION ASSIST® will monitor for specific corrections in steering that often indicate the beginning signs of driver fatigue.
  3. The system will then factor in external factors, such as road conditions, crosswinds, and how you are interacting with your vehicle’s controls, buttons, and more.
  4. If the system assesses all these factors and concludes that you are experiencing drowsiness or driver fatigue, it will sound an alert and suggest stopping for a break.
