• “The problem of complacent safety drivers is going to be a problem for every company.”

    This is an issue not just for SDCs and AVs but increasingly for all advanced motorcars given the power of their ADAS. The solution that I have been advocating is to sense the affective state of the driver. This can be done contactless by measuring the micro movements of the driver's body.

  • Indeed, there's plenty of eye-tracking technology out there.

    Just need the equivalent of a dead man's switch in the car. If the safety driver doesn't pay enough attention then warnings sound, still not looking and the car pulls over and stops. Too many warnings sound on a journey and it's dealt with as a disciplinary matter.
