Israeli company Guardian Optical Technologies has added a unique feature to its flagship aftermarket in-cabin sensor for cars: a vision-based drowsiness and distraction detector. I was contemplating the need for such a device on the road from Los Angeles to San Pedro when a wayward driver cut across two lanes and clipped the fender of a car in front of me.
Distracted and drowsy drivers are a menace. In 2016, 3,450 people were killed by distracted drivers, according to NHTSA. The organization estimates 481,000 drivers daily use cell phones while driving during daytime hours.
