00:00:00.000 If you guys haven't seen this story, it's a little weird story that's going viral.
00:00:03.260 It's European cars now must track driver's eye movement in the name of safety.
00:00:08.940 Do you have a video on this? Do you have a clip on this?
00:00:11.540 European cars now must track driver's eye movement in the name of safety.
00:00:17.900 So imagine you're driving a car and there's a camera that's watching you to see if you're falling asleep or not.
00:00:22.420 Or maybe you're on your phone.
00:00:24.140 And where's it going?
00:00:25.180 This report goes to them.
00:00:27.540 It became mandatory on Tuesday.
00:00:29.380 What? For citizens of the EU's 27 member states to allow their cars to track their movements using AI.
00:00:38.120 The European Union's General Safety Regulation mandated advanced driver distraction warning systems
00:00:43.860 that track drivers' body movements, such as eye and head movements,
00:00:47.580 in every new vehicle sold after July 7, according to Access Newswire.
00:00:52.320 This is a driver support system.
00:00:54.300 Martin Krantz, CEO and founder of Swedish AI company Smart.
00:00:57.360 I told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview,
00:00:59.880 it's a life-saving technology.
00:01:01.500 It really helps to prevent accidents.
00:01:03.780 It's probably going to be just like with the seatbelt and the airbag.
00:01:09.340 SmartEye is one of the leading suppliers of eye tracking
00:01:12.400 and driver monitoring AI that is compliant with ADW systems.
00:01:17.300 This tracking has quite a high accuracy.
00:01:21.140 So if you sit in your car and you're driving your car
00:01:24.200 and then you look at the speedometer,
00:01:26.860 then what happens is that tracking realizes that this is the speedometer that you're looking at
00:01:31.780 and then you're allowed to take your eyes away from the road for a certain time period let's
00:01:36.500 say for example two seconds you have a time that you can spend on different objects in your car
00:01:41.960 cell phone use while driving is forbidden thing to do in most jurisdictions then it can warn
00:01:48.340 immediately keep your eyes on the road basically it's uh actually illegal to do that he told the
00:01:54.220 dcnf and then if you for example spend time on the navigation display or on the radio that's also
00:01:59.780 allowed but not for too long eventually it will tell you to move your back attention on the road
00:02:04.240 you have different distraction limits they have a distraction limits on the speed no one's going
00:02:09.420 to call the authorities and no one's going to tell you and send along to the police or anything like
00:02:15.400 that but it's going to be different for different car makers tom i i don't know about this how do
00:02:20.960 you feel about this a lot of cars already have it mercedes already had it even on their lowest
00:02:24.700 uh basic uh the mercedes c's and the ones um they've had it and i think other manufacturers
00:02:30.860 have had it and they call it dozing or tiredness warning or they go beep beep beep you know driver
00:02:36.900 alertness warning a mercedes will do that doesn't bother you so well no i think what they're doing
00:02:42.340 is they're mandating what has been a safety feature on many different cars and it doesn't
00:02:46.540 really bother me because i think it is a safety feature now then however if it ever goes from
00:02:51.920 warning to insurance that's where it it's going to go guys that's where it's going to go we're
00:02:58.680 going to go from warning to insurance data the same way now that you can plug the little sensor
00:03:03.600 in to your car and it'll detect how often you're over the speed limit how fast you break how hard
00:03:09.400 you break how fast you accelerate all of that to determine your crash risk so that you can be
00:03:14.640 underwritten you for this you think this is good i'm against the legislation but i like the feature
00:03:20.100 in more cars because like early tension on seat belts the early braking or the you know the beep
00:03:26.840 beep and your car hits the brakes a little bit that saves lives and and i think those features
00:03:31.540 are good but what concerns me is the full loop here pat this will go to law enforcement this
00:03:38.020 will ultimately for sure go to insurance and then it's going to be well wait a minute if i have a
00:03:44.240 good driving record yet you think I've looked down too many times you're going to re-rate me
00:03:48.940 now I got a problem with it frozen lasagna medium power 15 minutes sounds like oh joe time let's

00:04:34.400 the streets with the cameras now it's in your car they're lit boy and where are they sending
00:04:39.440 that all the time you made a great point you know they're sharing it with all their government

00:06:40.840 story comes up you know who to call okay let me tell you this story it's one of the best stories
00:06:44.520 parents this is very important for you and i to think about there's a reason why i keep talking
00:06:49.780 about the future looks bright in 2013 they did a study at emory university guy named brian diaz
00:06:55.300 and Kerry Ressler did a study identifying to see if we pass our fears down to our kids
00:07:02.460 without us even knowing about it.
00:07:04.440 So they took a group of male mice, and they gave it acetophenone.
00:07:10.200 And every time, this is cherry blossom smell, every time they released this smell,
00:07:15.540 they would zap them with this pain.
00:07:18.380 Like, whoa, what was that?
00:07:20.000 Five minutes later, they released that smell again, zapped them again, the pain.
00:07:24.200 Whoa.
00:07:25.300 Five minutes ago, and they kept doing this with only male mice they were experimenting on.
00:07:30.520 Eventually, they did this for a few days, maybe a week, week and a half.
00:07:34.600 Then they took those same mice that now have tied fear to acetophenone, the smell, cherry blossom.
00:07:42.540 Then they put it in a room for them to mate with female mice.
00:07:46.400 Okay. 0.98
00:07:47.200 So then they mate. 0.99
00:07:48.400 Okay.
00:07:48.680 So these guys now have kids.
00:07:50.080 Okay.
00:07:50.360 Then they take the mice, the male mice, the father away from the baby.
00:07:54.640 Okay.
00:07:54.900 Then they take the babies, and they put other female mice, and they mate. 0.99
00:07:59.640 Then they put the grandkids in a complete different thing.
00:08:02.520 So you're with me so far.
00:08:03.180 I got you.
00:08:03.900 The grandfather fears the smell of acetophenone.
00:08:06.920 And he got zapped.
00:08:08.260 He got zapped every time.
00:08:10.380 Then his kids, and then his grandkids.
00:08:13.000 The grandkids have never met grandfather before.
00:08:15.320 They put him in a place, and all of a sudden, they sprayed the cherry blossom.
00:08:21.140 These grandkids were frightened, frightened,
00:08:25.940 because that fear from the grandfather had passed down to the grandkids.
00:08:29.900 Genetically, it goes.
00:08:30.500 And they've never been zapped.
00:08:31.580 And they've never been zapped.
00:08:33.240 Holy cow.
00:08:33.800 So what does this mean?
00:08:34.840 Yesterday, we're at the beach, and I'm watching how happy Brooklyn is.
00:08:39.920 And in my mind, you're running all these issues in your mind.
00:08:43.540 You're trying to solve all these problems.
00:08:44.620 You're kind of overwhelmed with all the stuff that's going on.
00:08:46.340 And I'm looking at her, and she's just happy.
00:08:49.500 She's happy playing in the sand.
00:08:51.460 She's happy running around.
00:08:52.740 Daddy, take me, take me, take me in the water.
00:08:54.340 It's cold.
00:08:54.700 No, no, don't put me in the water.
00:08:55.740 Daddy, daddy, take me, take me.
00:08:57.680 And then you start realizing we are all born with believing the future looks bright.
00:09:03.440 But if we're not too careful, we can pass down that fear to our own kids that can pass it down to their grandkids.
00:09:09.680 When people say, why do you believe the future looks bright?
00:09:11.600 I just do.
00:09:13.020 I just do.
00:09:13.780 I believe the future looks bright at the highest level.
