    Hmmm. Do I need AI to tell me that I'm tired?

    And OK, so it decides that I'm too tired, and stops the car. Now maybe I'm really in a bind.

    Not a bad thing, some drivers don't realize they are tired, close their eyes for 2 seconds and make fatal accident...

    Sure. I've done that, and drove off the road. Fortunately, I didn't hit anything.

    But damn, I wouldn't want this. Unless it could be disabled.

    Facial recognition will catch sleepy taxi drivers in Russia
    A new device will flag tired drivers on Yandex.Taxi, which is co-owned by Uber

    Sounds like a good idea but I can't determine from the article posted (at least the first one) what this will actually do. I saw "stop the vehicle" but when and where could create a bigger problem. Does this just leave you stranded in a dangerous place with no way to leave?
