This AI checks if your driving habits signal crash risk

Researchers have developed an AI system that predicts a driver’s crash risk before they hit the road. Instead of waiting for real‑world mistakes, the model analyzes behavior in a simulated driving environment using eye‑tracking, heart‑rate monitoring, reaction time, stress levels, and personality traits. Early results show it can distinguish safer drivers from those prone to serious errors. The technology could be valuable for commercial fleets and delivery companies, though it raises privacy and fairness concerns. The next step is testing the system in real‑world driving to see if the behavioral signals remain consistent outside the lab.
