The imbedded video is pretty good. The humor of its location as the Scottsdale/Carefree horse country is subtle.

My 2020 Ranger has the same system. According to Ford, it bases the "alertness" warnings on what the camera above the mirror sees the vehicle doing in relation to the lane markings. I imagine it uses steering wheel inputs too because another nanny-system nags at me to keep my hands on the wheel when I'm driving dead straight and don't have a death grip on the wheel.

I don't know too much about passenger applications, but I will point out that the uber drivers I've talked to love the Prius. A hybrid pulls a ton of work off the ICE plant, giving all of the heavy torque loading to the battery, which makes the whole system last longer (apparently). That does match up with what my customers in the transit bus market say about their historical hybrids (though they're very dismissive of hybrids, considering it time wasted on the way to an inevitable ZEV transition).
