Driving a bus, taxi, or truck comes with a lot of responsibility—and a lot of exposure to risk. The more time spent on the road, the higher the chances of something going wrong. So, is there a way to reduce accidents for these vehicles? Science says yes, and it’s got an AI-powered eye on the problem.
MEDEMIL has officially launched the MEDEMIL Drive, a driver assessment device that determines driving ability based on eye movement. Using an AI trained on hundreds of drivers’ accident histories and eye-tracking data, this system can evaluate not just eye function but also brain function, including cognitive ability, attention, and judgment. In short, it’s like having a driving instructor who never blinks.
Designed for commercial fleets and elderly drivers, MEDEMIL Drive can quickly assess whether someone is fit to drive. It offers a dedicated driving assessment mode, a vision measurement mode, and even a training mode that turns eye exercises into a game—because why not make safety a little fun?
After an initial pre-order phase, the device is now fully available with updated hardware and software (version 1.6.0). While pricing details haven’t been disclosed, one thing’s clear: with MEDEMIL Drive, the days of just guessing whether someone is road-ready might be over.
