- $79,614 spent. completed the systems architecture for IRIS an advanced vehicle-integrated platform designed to prevent impaired driving using multisensory AI and blockchain. IRIS fuses visual, audio, biometric, olfactory, tactile, and behavioral data to detect impairment from alcohol, drugs (legal or illegal), fatigue, and distraction. If impairment is detected, the vehicle is rendered inoperable. The system also eliminates the risk of carjacking or car theft by locking out unauthorized users and creates a secure, encrypted audit trail for transparency and accountability. Designed to operate privately on the vehicle edge, IRIS never transmits impairment data to third parties, ensuring public trust. The IRIS system is now patent-pending and developed to meet future mandates under IIJA Section 24220.
