Driver monitoring technology is being rolled out across the world5 Dec 2020 15:14
good to see more coverage....
You’ve heard about automation. You’ve heard about electric vehicles. But have you heard about driver monitoring systems (DMS)? DMS is a sister of automation that, instead of driving the car for you, monitors driver attentiveness. The technology has the potential to save lives around the world by detecting when a driver is not paying attention, when they are drowsy, and if they are intoxicated. It will take a while for the system to become perfected and widespread, but governments across the world are taking steps to mandate some form of this new technology in their new automobile models.
DMS and the future
When the car was invented, no one know how many deaths and injuries they would come to cause. Now as accidents are rampant across the world, including 35,000 deaths a year in the United States. According to a specialist team of injury solicitors, of the 35,000 accidents in Europe 40 percent of them were caused by lack of driver attentiveness. Legislators are hoping that the implementation of the DMS technology will decrease accidents and deaths that come with them.
Fully automated roads where people aren’t driving are quite a ways off, but governments are hoping that driver monitoring systems will facilitate the traffic and accident rates. Some people, however, argue that these mandates are government overreach. Just because it begins with keeping people safe doesn’t mean that governments won’t be using these technologies to regulate their citizens next. To understand where this is going, you can take a look into the policies being adopted by the EU, the US, and China.
