Uber's AI system could soon be able to identify if you're drunk

Many of us are guilty of jumping into an Uber after having one too many drinks. But that could soon be about to change. According to a new patent application, Uber is working on a way to let its drivers know exactly how drunk passengers are before they pick them up. The AI system identifies a user's level of intoxication based on how they're holding their phone. It also looks at how many times they tap on the Uber app, exactly where they tap, their walking speed and how long it takes for them to request a ride.
