    That's what I was really thinking, but was considering the Rand 7 tablet for $429. I noticed my GPS used to do live traffic but it doesn't anymore.

    How Lytx Detects Fatigue
    Lytx’s system continuously analyzes:
    • Blink patterns (slow blinks, micro‑sleep indicators)
    • Eye closure duration
    • Head position & nodding
    • Gaze direction
    • Behavioral cues that precede drowsiness
    The camera is supposed to start bleeping....

    I'm a big fan of Dash Cams and the Mirror arm mounted cams to show the outside of the truck. Hate the driver facing cams. I hate all things Lytx though, we had them at Yellow, every day i would have 10-15 dangerous behavior events that they flagged because a driver backed off a street. I tried for months to get them to stop flagging them because it's normal LTL driving behavior and could never get them to stop, Liftgate trucks would flag an event every time they parked on a street, because of the time spent parked in a travel lane.

    Gainsville is a mess guys.

    downtown has cul de sacs everywhere, and they’re making me do it in a 48.

    im just straight up driving on side walks. Florida zombies everywhere. People jaywalking on electric scooters.


    Theres areas that straight up look like Kensington, Philadelphia. Then a few miles away theres mansions and a beautiful university campus

    Yellow had lytx cameras in them? That surprises me, did Teamsters ever put up a fight on them?>\
