Japanese-based tech firm NTT Data is in the process of developing an AI system to identify drivers who may be suffering from some form of mental decline.
They’re partnering with a Tokyo-based taxi company, Kokusai Motorcars, to develop the software, with data being collected from cab drivers who are 65 years or older.
The AI system will take into account several factors. Part of the AI’s role will be to determine the ability of drivers to make quick decisions and pay attention to the road.
