Startup Idea:
Mobile app using computer vision to roughly determine BAC based on facial and optic features. No one has a breathalyzer but everyone has a phone, so people will be able to get a more objective measure of their inebriation without drunkenly doing math of how many drinks they had. If a cop can estimate it with a flashlight, a phone can too.
- tasomething2 5y agoThe flashlight thing is a Horizontal Nystagmus Test, which I don't think works for passive detection. You have to follow the light with your eyes to trigger the twitching at a particular angle. I suppose you could force the test before starting the car. It's also not a terribly reliable test.
- reducesuffering 5y agoYou can have the app indicate instructions for following light. This isn't about hard requirements for starting a car, imo that's quite dystopian. This would be better for heuristics for people so that they have some indicator they should not be driving and to seek out alternative means of transport.
