Some of the main causes of road accidents nowadays are fatigue, drowsiness and driver inattention. In many cases, these accidents are fatal and can cause significant financial loss. Most of these accidents happen between midnight and 6am. One way to reduce the number of accidents caused by these causes is to use an interior camera. This camera can detect fatigue or drowsiness and alert the driver in time, and in the worst case, take over the car and stop safely at the side of the road. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the methods used to detect driver fatigue, drowsiness and inattention. A further objective is then to develop and process a survey that focuses on public awareness and opinions on the integration of interior cameras in vehicles across Europe.

Autonomous vehicles remain a major topic in the automotive industry today, including assistance systems, cooperative communication, and other aspects that lead to full vehicle autonomy. This paper investigates vehicle autonomy with a focus on parking assistance. Along with a review of parking assistants, the paper presents a prototype parking assistant with an alternative distance display. The parking assistant prototype, compared to parking without an assistant and conventional parking assistant, was tested in a real-world experiment of a within-subjects study design. The user experience of the proposed distance representation was obtained, and the results indicated that the prototype parking assistant with an alternative distance display helps less experienced drivers get a better idea of the distance from the obstacle.
