How AI Could Make Our Roads Safer -- AI Daily - Artificial Intelligence News

Well the answer lies within the fact that the majority of road accidents stem from the driver's lack of concentration. Instead of requiring AI that scrutinizes data at high speeds, we need AI that can monitor our general driving performance and is able to inform the driver when they are driving dangerously. Logistics company, GC, based in SE Asia developed a system in 2019 which used facial recognition AI to detect whether the driver was distracted, drowsy or unfit to drive in real time and would alert the driver if this wasn't the case. Furthermore, US-based Netradyne is currently developing technology which assesses the driver's overall performance with regard to traffic lanes and following traffic rules. However, when will we see this implemented into the UK? Much of the current technology developed so far is for use in less developed countries where the roads are more dangerous.
