Uber Working with AI to Determine the Probability of Drunken Passengers

Recently according to CNN, the Uber Innovation Inc. documented a patent for a machine learning application that could precisely foresee a user's condition of sobriety and caution the driver with this information. Because apparently Uber is taking a shot at innovating a technology that could decide exactly just how drunken passengers are when requesting for a ride.

The patent application depicts artificial intelligence that figures out how passengers commonly utilize the Uber application, so it can better spot uncommon behaviour in light of the fact that, various Uber drivers have been physically assaulted by passengers as of late, a significant number of whom were inebriated.

The application's algorithms measure various factors that indicate that the passengers are most likely inebriated it incorporates typos, walking speed, how correctly the passengers press in-app buttons, and the amount of time it takes to arrange a ride. Somebody messing up most words, swaying side-to-side and taking at most 15 minutes to arrange for a ride late on Saturdays.

Uber's patent says that it could, possibly, utilize the innovation to deny rides to users in light of their current state, or maybe coordinate them with different drivers with pertinent abilities and training.

The application is said to likewise increase the wellbeing for both the rider as well as the driver.

As per an ongoing CNN investigation, no less than 103 Uber drivers have been blamed for sexually assaulting or abusing passengers in just the previous four years.
