GM's new semi-autonomous cruise control will use facial recognition

GM's next smart cruise control system is designed to let drivers actually remove their hands from the wheel while in operation, and uses facial recognition to make sure that they're still paying attention to the road. That's according to a new letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to GM about the proposed feature, as detailed by Reuters.
