VinAI is set to unveil its latest innovation, DrunkSense, at InCabin Europe 2024 in Barcelona. DrunkSense is the world’s first system that detects drunk driving without requiring a breathalyzer, representing a major advancement in road safety. This technology, with an impressive accuracy rate of up to 85%, is being introduced to the European market for the first time.
DrunkSense is designed for next-generation smart vehicles and uses a combination of sensors to detect alcohol impairment. It tracks facial expressions, monitors vehicle control, and analyzes air alcohol levels, achieving an 85% sensitivity rate—an 8% improvement over current standards.
Unlike traditional breathalyzers, DrunkSense works continuously and requires no driver interaction, offering timely warnings even if the driver’s blood alcohol level is below the legal limit.
Cap Thanh Vuong, Director of Smart Mobility Products at VinAI, explained the importance of DrunkSense: “DrunkSense was developed in the context of increasingly stringent regulations against drunk driving globally, especially in Europe and the US.”
“Through DrunkSense, an advanced technology with automatic operation capabilities and superior accuracy, we hope to provide a safety solution for automakers in complying with strict standards, contributing to peace of mind for everyone when participating in traffic,” he added.
VinAI will also showcase InteriorSense—an advanced monitoring system for both drivers and passengers that uses AI to ensure safety and comfort. InCabin Europe 2024, held from October 8-10, is a premier gathering for in-cabin monitoring technology, and VinAI’s participation underscores its role as a leader in artificial intelligence research and application.
VinAI’s Smart Mobility division has already integrated its technologies into over 50,000 vehicles globally, including models from VinFast and other European manufacturers, and plans to expand to 700,000 more vehicles in the coming years.
