  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Distributed Embedded Smart Cameras

Abstract

Driving-related accidents and human casualties are on the rise in the US and around the globe (Brace et al. in Analysis of the literature: the use of mobile phones while driving, 2007). The US government spends more than 10 billion dollars a year to address the aftermath of accidents caused due to distracted driving and driving in dangerous conditions.
