Original Note:
This is an article from 2018 which reports on a patent Uber filed to detect users who ‘behave uncharacteristically (e.g., abnormally) during a trip’. Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi described it as a “crazy idea” and has no imminent plans to roll out the technology. https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/11/uber-ai-will-soon-know-drunk-refuse-pick-7621134/amp/ https://nypost.com/2018/06/11/uber-will-know-if-youre-drunk-before-you-even-get-into-the-car/amp/
