--- Quote from: cdev on December 24, 2018, 04:16:46 pm ---Its a laudable goal preventing drunken driving.  Another related problem is people falling asleep, sleep deprivation of drivers on the road.

But I would be especially overjoyed if someone could figure out how to prevent the huge number of accidents caused by people using personal electronics while driving, distracting drivers.

Statistics that I have seen make me suspect that is a very serious problem.

When you get your drivers license, don't fall in the trap of doing it. Simply talking on a cell phone, even with a hands free device increases the likelihood of a serious accident more than 20 times.

Gaze detection is a working technology. Just use a series of IR cameras and extrapolate where the driver is looking. It could also backup the inebriation detection by recognizing overly dilated pupils.

Probably easier to go about this another way. Increased patrols cracking down hard on people caught playing with their phones while driving, I see it every day despite the fact that it's illegal here. Increase the punishment and make it a felony to cause an accident while using a mobile device. If we started making it hurt and locking people up, maybe society would finally get the message.
