To reach the next milestone in automotive safety, vehicles must move beyond simple distraction alerts and toward high-confidence interventions. This requires a granular understanding of the driver’s “Fit-to-Drive” status, specifically the ability to distinguish between different types of impairments such as fatigue, drowsiness, cognitive distraction and various levels of alcohol consumption. Traditional monitoring systems often struggle to differentiate these states, leading to vague alerts rather than precise safety actions.
