Israeli start-up CorrActions has developed an AI-supported method that detects alcohol impairment while driving by analysing brain activity. This innovative software uses existing vehicle sensors, such as steering wheel sensors, to identify cognitive impairment based on muscle micro-movements – precisely and passively, without additional hardware or input from the driver.
The new Euro NCAP 2026 protocol rewards advanced driver monitoring systems that can detect alcohol impairment with up to two points in the safety rating. CorrActions‘ NeuroMonitoring system offers a cost-effective solution that does not require invasive testing procedures or new hardware and, according to the company, ensures virtually error-free detection.
Subtle muscle movements are analysed to monitor critical brain activity and differentiate between alcohol and other factors such as fatigue. The AI-based software works with any existing vehicle platform. (oe)
