Sleep is attributed to be the cause of 30% of motor vehicle accidents in Spain. A large percentage of these accidents result in fatalities. Statistics are similar for the United States and other countries. ADS (Sleep and Deterrent Systems) was conceived to reduce these figures. The system automatically activates and warns a driver of an impending loss of conscious and voluntary activity (sleep). ADS is a sophisticated electronic system activated by a sensor located on the posterior portion of the steering wheel. When the hand grip on the steering wheel is relaxed the sensor sends a signal to the diagnostic module which immediately goes into the first phase: warning; a loud beep and a bright light which would awake a sober driver.
