How artificial intelligence is saving Kiwi truck drivers' lives
As the number of fatal crashes involving truck drivers increases, one company believes artificial intelligence (AI) could help. It may look like a standard mini-tanker, but a small camera in the truck's cab could be a lifesaver. The AI device scans the driver's eyes to detect signs of fatigue and distraction, and if their eye lids close for one and a half seconds, an alarm sounds and the driver's seat will vibrate. A camera also records the moment. "What this technology is about is keeping the driver focussed on the road, and alerting them for any reason if their attention is drawn away," said Charles Dawson, the chief executive of Autosense.
