Headline: Could This Device Save Lives? Ridy Smart Camera Alerts Drivers When They’re Drowsy Or Distracted

Caption: **VIDEO AVAILABLE. CONTACT INFO@COVER-IMAGES.COM TO RECEIVE.** An amazing device has been created that alerts drivers when they’re feeling drowsy or distracted whilst at the wheel. The Ridy smart camera attaches easily to your dashboard or windshield and uses machine learning technology to watch your face as you drive and notice behavior suggesting that you may be tired or distracted. The device focuses on factors such as how often you blink, facial expressions such as yawns, or how often you look away from the road. If a certain threshold is passed, Ridy will give you a verbal warning. “Young drivers can benefit a lot from this device,” co-founder Yuri Galt told Digital Trends. “They often start texting or using Snapchat while driving. Professional drivers such as Uber drivers can also benefit from this, [along with] busy parents that lack sleep, and any person who texts a lot while driving.” No internet is required to use the device, and it works in any vehicle, day or night. The Ridy device has currently racked up over £14,000 on Indiegogo. For more information head over to http://heyridy.com.
