Question Coffee Cup Dash Symbol?

My Benz often displays a weird coffee cup symbol on the dash... I have no clue what this means. Can it tell when I'm really high? Why does it want me to drink coffee all the time?

Thanks!

The coffee cup icon, when illuminated in the instrument cluster display on your Mercedes-Benz, indicates that the ATTENTION ASSIST® system is turned on. ATTENTION ASSIST® is a vehicle feature that will detect signs of drowsy driving and tell you when it’s time to take a break.

ATTENTION ASSIST® will continually monitor your driving patterns, looking for signs of inattentive driving. Such characteristics of drowsy driving include abnormal steering patterns, and factors such as travel time and length are also taken into consideration.

When I first got my coupe, I assumed it was detecting a nearby Starbucks. Since they are everywhere in the SF Bay Area, it was always on - ;>)

Why

Does this ATTENTION ASSIST alert you of something of help you in some way, or is it just there to talk **** about your driving? 😂

Seems like a pretty pointless feature to me

That’s just your car both commenting indirectly on your driving and letting you know that a coffee shop is close.
