What is Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®?

How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

An industry-first technology from Mercedes-Benz, the ATTENTION ASSIST® system keeps drivers protected from the dangers of driving drowsy. Pairing a precise algorithm with an innovative sensor, ATTENTION ASSIST® can tell if drivers are getting too drowsy to be on Union City roads. Here’s a quick overview of how the system works:

1. Once you begin driving, the system assesses your normal driving style across over 70 parameters.
2. The system will then learn those behaviors and look for specific steering corrections which suggest you may be getting drowsy.
3. Going beyond your individual habits, the ATTENTION ASSIST® feature will also account for multiple external factors, including road conditions and crosswinds. Along with those factors, it will also consider how you’re interacting with controls, buttons, and switches in the vehicle.
4. If, after assessing all the information, ATTENTION ASSIST® concludes that you’re experiencing drowsiness or driver fatigue, it will deliver a visual and audio alert to signify it’s time for you to take a break.

What is the Benefit of Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®?

With ATTENTION ASSIST® in your Mercedes-Benz, you can have more confidence in the safety of yourself, your passengers, and other drivers on the road in Fremont. The Bay Area is full of things to do, from exploring the city at night to surfing secret spots in the morning fog, but when you’re on a long journey, it’s possible for fatigue to set in. Driver fatigue causes your attention level to fall, increasing the risk of a serious accident in Newark. If Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® detects even a slight chance of drowsiness, you’ll see the coffee cup dashboard symbol light up and understand that it’s time to get off the road and rest for a while.
