Uber's AI will now detect the driver's consciousness !!!
Uber seems to have patented a new technology that will use AI system to detect any erratic behavior in riders. Additionally, the AI can identify user’s drunken behavior to accommodate them before they get into the cab. This system was mentioned by Uber’s Trust & Safety team in 2016; however, the patent has now been published.
The system will apparently, track how someone typically uses the app like any typos, how precisely they click on buttons, their walking speed, etc. All these info will be plugged into Uber’s planned algorithm. It will also observe if the ride was requested from a location that is loaded with bars. In such cases, the app will notify Uber driver that they're about to pick up a tipsy driver.
