Driver assistance systems are at the peak of their development and are already actively used by the world’s leading automakers as an effective tool to improve traffic safety (reducing accident rates). The driver fatigue monitoring systems at the methodological level and functional purpose are actively developing and have outlined a trend, including the transition of a number of functions from the category of assistant systems to the category of active safety systems operating in automatic mode. The most effective method of automatically interpreting the driver’s functional state in terms of driver fatigue (deep relaxation, when the number of driver errors significantly increases which can lead to an accident, the driver’s functional state preceding the fall asleep) is the most effective, having the least probability of a dangerous failure. It is based on monitoring and analysis of parameters of the electrodermal activity. Methods of automatic interpretation of the functional state of the driver allow us to expand the functionality of a number of security systems and increase their effectiveness. It shows the relevance of monitoring the driver’s functional state before the vehicles achieve full autonomy of traffic.
