While texting and driving is illegal, many people are still tempted to send a quick message while behind the wheel. But a new AI has been designed that could stop you from doing so. The incredible system can accurately determine when drivers are distracted at the wheel, and could one day be used to develop protective measures. While texting and driving is illegal, many people are still tempted to send a quick message while behind the wheel. The researchers trained an algorithm using machine-learning to recognise actions such as texting, talking on the phone or reaching into the backseat to get something.
