Car computer could detect drunken steering
(By Will Knight from Newscientist). A dashboard computer system that monitors the delay between a driver's eye movement and steering could be used to identify drunk drivers, claims a UK researcher.Dilwyn Marple-Horvat, at the University of Bristol, tested the eye-to-steering coordination of people playing a computer driving game who were given alcoholic drinks. Previous research has shown that drivers normally look towards a corner approximately 0.85 seconds before turning a car's steering wheel. Marple-Horvat found that this time decreases significantly with alcohol.
