Drowsy driving ranks among the leading causes of freeway accidents, endangering countless lives. Shockingly, there existed no effective system to alert fellow drivers about the presence of a fatigued motorist on the road.
The data is alarming: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that drowsy driving contributes to an estimated 91,000 crashes annually in the United States alone. There was an urgent need for innovative technology and an alert system to mitigate the risks associated with tired drivers and enhance road safety for all.
