Theres wearable computers coming now that well be able to tell whether or not a driver is having a diabetes [attack] whether or not hes fatigued because youre going to be able to tell something about the oxygen content in his blood by a wearable computer, Menig said, adding that he is a consultant to the trucking industry as well as working in aerospace studies. So theres even more technology coming that we know about.

China already has those & they are worn like a wrist watch.
They also have a device to check blood sugar levels; you just lay your hand on it and it takes a reading without having to prick your finger for blood. It looks like an upside down smooth bowl; just lay your palm on it and get a reading in a couple of seconds.NavigatorWife, CargoWahgo and bigdogpile Thank this. -
Im sorry but no ####### thank you. No way in hell will I ever be forced to us something like that. I have this thing called a brain and when I get to tired to drive, I pull over and go to sleep.

I like the part about Drive Cam recording the speed limit and the overlay. That could actually be a useful tool. From a safety standpoint I could see where the wearable computer could be a double edged sword. It can certainly give you more information for to decide if your fleet is okay to drive, but it's likely to bury you if you don't act every single time someone is outside of the parameters that you set to determine who's able to operate and who's not.... Sometimes too much information is a bad thing.
