Your argument is that CS is right to priority driver monitoring. Due to Bluecruise being the winner for having the best driver monitoring and perhaps the most cautious system, my argument is that this lost the plot on why these systems even exist.
This is my take
If an adas system can keep the car driving without crashing for 5 additional minutes when someone fell asleep, that 5 extra minutes worth of time that person could potentially wake up and not die. The alternative is the person fell asleep going 80mph and crashes within 10 seconds on manual driving. I take the 5 extra minutes over the 10 second any day.
You start losing the plot when you try to make your system so difficult to enable and kept enabled with a bunch of geo maps and monitoring, that it fails to serve the purpose, which is to give that person a surviving chance as that person falls asleep. So performance and ease of use should be the ONLY metrics that matters here. I understand why they decide to add so much monitoring and geo fencing, which is to prevent people from falling asleep PURPOSELY while reducing the chance of crash WHEN the system is enabled to a min . This is a backwards IMO, especially when it shuts itself off while the driver is doing something dangerous like closing their eyes. The system is suppose to shine the most when trying to keep a person who kept their eyes closed alive as long as possible, not to shut itself off to cause a crash.
