I n 2017, Andhra Pradesh witnessed two deadly bus accidents after the driver fell asleep at the wheel. One was a tourist bus and the other a school bus carrying children and teachers.
This news concerned Pradeep Varma (22), a student of Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam. It left him wondering why there was no technology in place to prevent such accidents.
“After doing some research, I realised that while there is technology to detect external crashes and predict them, there aren’t many prevalent ones to detect a driver falling asleep,” says Pradeep, in an interview with The Better India.
