Thanks to emerging technology, absolute road safety is becoming a much more attainable ideal than ever before. Automaker [Volvo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-driving-app) recently announced that its future vehicles will pack an AI-based feature that will attentively track eye movement to determined if the driver is distracted or intoxicated. If the system detects warning signs — this can include a failure to consistently keep eyes on the road or hands on the wheel, the technology will alert Volvo's on-call assistance centers which will then issue a call to check on the driver. If the person fails to answer, the vehicle has a "[semi-autonomous feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-driving-system)" that can slow down the car and bring it to a stop in a safe spot. This feature will surely go a long way to preventing drunk driving and accidents on the road. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **AI-based Eye Movement-tracking:** Incorporating AI to track eye movement can revolutionize car safety measures and prevent drunk driving. - **On-call Assistance Centers:** Utilizing on-call assistance centers can enhance driver safety by automatically alerting authorities in the event of distraction or intoxication. - **Semi-autonomous Stopping Feature:** Implementing a semi-autonomous feature to slow down and stop the car in a safe spot can significantly reduce the risk of accidents caused by drunk drivers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can leverage AI-based eye movement-tracking technology to enhance safety features in vehicles and prevent accidents caused by distracted or intoxicated drivers. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The AI industry can explore opportunities to develop advanced algorithms and technologies that accurately track eye movement for use in various applications, including drunk driving prevention in cars. - **Emergency Services:** The emergency services industry can benefit from collaborating with car manufacturers to establish effective protocols for on-call assistance centers to respond promptly to alerts indicating distracted or intoxicated drivers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intoxication-Indicating AI Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drunkdriving-detection.md) - [Advanced Automotive AI Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-ai-technology.md) - [Predictive Autonomous Vehicle Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verses-ai.md) - [Truck-Specific Driver Assistance Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driver-assistance-system.md) - [In-Car Stress-Reducing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harman-ready-care.md) - [AI-Powered Driving Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-driving-app.md) - [Collision Avoidance Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minieye-dash-cam.md) - [Alcohol-Monitoring Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholmonitoring-bracelet.md) - [Advanced Interior Sensing Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-interior-sensing.md)
