Device that tells you when you are about to fall asleep!

Anti-Sleep Pilot
Do you live in a big city and find yourself driving a lot or just happen to travel a lot for fun? Well someone has finally decided to make a small peripheral that measures drowsiness to alert people before they fall asleep at the wheel. Some Danish Engineers have made a little hockey puck shaped device that is called the Anti-Sleep Pilot. 
This device monitors inputs from 26 different sensors in addition to its accelerometer to measure movement. Using all this data the Anti-Sleep Pilot determines if your driving style matches someone who is fatigued or drowsy. If it comes to this conclusion, it will flash and beep at you until you stop and rest for a minimum of 10 minutes. Of course if you are wealthy then you can just buy a Mercedes which have had drowsiness sensors in them for a couple years now.
