Toshiba demos facial recognition system for your car

Japanese corporation Toshiba has recently demoed a facial recognition system for your car that asses your facial expressions from 8 cameras around the car, each with a different view. The system can detect tired drivers from blinking rates, and whether or not someone wants to change the radio station by assessing how many times and how they look at the radio station controller.


This technology cannot be used with sunglasses, and people with long hair might have some problems with it because the hair could get in the way of the technology. Toshiba has not released plans to commercialize this technology yet.
