Acura and Volvo are the two in front with this technology currently. Acura was one of the first to bring it to production on the last generation RL. The system would alert with a light and sound, then higher pitch and if collision was imminent it would tighten the seatbelts and apply the brakes automatically.

Volvo took it a step further with the XC60 with City-Stop where it will stop the car if you are in a traffic situation at low speed and not paying attention, which happens more often than not.

Maybe this might actually work, Germans suck at reliabilities, so let them do what they're good at. Creating annoying systems to keep the drivers awake. Took them long enough to figure this out.
