Facial recognition app helps prevent drivers from nodding off

asleep at the wheel

More than 100,000 accidents occur each year on account of drivers falling asleep at the wheel.  Created using advanced eye-tracking technology, Café Amazon’s ‘Drive Awake’ app helps to prevent drowsy drivers from nodding off at the wheel by recognizing the all-too-common signs of sleepiness.

If, at some point during your journey, the app detects that you might be approaching the land of nod, you will be directed to the nearest caffeine-crammed café and/or jolted awake by the sound of a screeching parrot.

Simply mount your phone to the windscreen of your car, allowing a clear view of your face and let the app do the rest!  Too find out more, click here.
