Russia's Yandex.Taxi to use face recognition to spot sleepy drivers

Russian ride-hailing giant 'Yandex.Taxi', co-owned by Uber, is adding facial recognition technology to identify sleepy or drowsy drivers, Bloomberg revealed. A device mounted to the windshield will identify signs of an exhausted person, including blinking, yawning and improper posture. The move comes in response to Russian legislators demanding taxi companies do more to prevent accidents.
