The problem is the car doesn't let you ignore it. You need to perform some kind of "hey, are you paying attention?" input on the steering wheel what seems like every 30 seconds or so(not sure of the exact numbers). Maybe the driver just happened to doze off in that intervening 30 seconds...at which point, he would have crashed anyway.
