What counts as driver monitoring?
Cabin driver monitoring uses an inward infrared or visible camera to watch the driver’s face, eyes, or head — Super Cruise, BlueCruise, Tesla’s cabin camera, Subaru DriverFocus, and similar systems.
Steering-based attention assistants (Honda Driver Attention Monitor, Mercedes ATTENTION ASSIST, Toyota Safety Sense nag) are not cabin cameras. A VIN also cannot prove an optional package on every trim, so “often equipped” means confirm it on the car.
Vehicle identity comes from the NHTSA vPIC VIN decoder. Look up is for research — not a substitute for the window sticker or a visual check of the camera.
