A team of Australian scientists have cooked up a new AI-driven camera system that can detect whether you are too drunk to drive a vehicle.

But the project isn’t quite ready for wide use with only 75 percent accuracy, according to the researchers out of Edith Cowan University in Western Australia, who had presented this camera project at a computer vision conference earlier this year.

Should be interesting.

I assume the system is working properly and 25% of drivers just drive as erratically sober as the other 75% blind drunk.

And that's among the ones who managed to get to the study. The percentage would be higher if it took into account the ones who got lost or crashed on the way.

If that was true should be rolled out as that’s about the same thing. Those people shouldn’t drive / should go/back to driving school

with only 75 percent accuracy

Unless they're telling you the Type 1 and Type 2 error rates, they're not worth a shit.
