The monitoring system developed by Baidu can monitor whether a driver is tired or not.

the monitoring system意為 “監控系統”，句中的developed by Baidu為過去分詞作名詞短語the monitoring system的后置定語，表被動和完成；whether a driver is tired or not作動詞monitor的賓語從句。

根據中國科技巨頭、百度首席執行官李彥宏表示，百度計劃在今年7月進行全自動小型巴士的“小規模生產”。

李彥宏在公司年度技術大會上表示：“百度還計劃與制造商江淮汽車和北京汽車工業公司合作推出自動駕駛汽車模型。”

通過與“車載網絡”的連接，自動駕駛汽車將能夠對各種標識及道路信息進行有效分析，從而提高通行效率。

人工智能(AI)有望提升道路安全。

李彥宏在會議上通過演示一個功能來舉例子，并宣稱：“百度開發的監控系統可以監控司機是否疲勞。如果司機感到累了，該系統就會發出警告，并播放一首振奮的歌曲讓司機精神起來。”

百度的自動駕駛項目是在2013年推出的，其功能包括精確繪圖、定位和智能決策。
