Dementia Drivers and AI Autonomous Cars - AI Trends

Do you know someone that seems to be progressively forgetting things and their mind cannot remain focused on matters at-hand? I'm not referring to the occasional moment whereby you might get distracted and misremember where you left your keys or where you put the TV remote. We've likely all had those moments. I knew a friend in college that every time he noticed that someone else had lost something or misplaced an item, he would jump right away to the classic "have you lost your mind" and seemed to overplay the rather hackneyed phrase (it became an ongoing irritant to those of us that interacted with him regularly). It is easy to leap to foregone conclusions and falsely suggest that someone has a systemic mental failing. Typically, regrettably, as we get older, humans do though tend to genuinely have a kind of mental decay and their brains sadly begin to deteriorate. There are an estimated 5 million people in the United States that are currently experiencing dementia. Keep in mind that dementia is not a disease per se, though some assume it is, and instead it is considered an umbrella term that encompasses the loss of our thinking skills and also the degradation of various memory processing aspects.
