Looking for an alternative to that extra large cup of coffee or energy
drink to keep you awake on long haul drives? Then you'll soon have
another option in the form of the Anti Sleep Pilot, which promises to
keep you from nodding off through the magic of technology. Already on
sale in Denmark, the device is able to automatically turn itself on
and off by monitoring the movement of your vehicle, and it attempts to
keep you alert by regularly performing various tests that you can
respond to just by tapping the device. That promises to not only
prevent fatigue in the first place by keeping your mind active, but
also warn you when it's really time to take a break by monitoring your
reaction times to each test. Still no word on an official price over
here just yet, but we assume it'll cost somewhere in the neighborhood
of the 1,499 kr (or $270) the device currently runs in Denmark.
