What about socks for truck drivers to detect if they are dozing? Have them set off a phone alarm, etc. Better yet, can FitBit, etc. detect dozing and use the vibrating alarm to alert?

I'm mostly sad that Netflix detects nothing and pauses my show anyway after a couple episodes. : (
This is really annoying, and the opposite of the sort of smart adaptive behaviour I'd like to see. It'd be great if Netflix could detect, 'this guy seems to have regular work hours (because he normally watches Netflix at a regular time), and appears to be binge-watching a TV show; let's not bother him.'
But then, the Netflix app is still terribly primitive compared to their website, so…maybe I'm asking for too much.

With Netflix if the accelerometer doesn't notice you've fallen for 5 minutes before pausing, that's totally fine. If the user is operating a motor vehicle and has been asleep for 5 minutes it'll be a miracle if they're still alive.

That really only became possible when they decided to auto-play new episodes, which is a bad feature in general. There are quite a few shows with really nice music videos in their ending credits. Shrinking the video to the size of a postage stamp and kicking me into a new episode is a rather annoying. They also have a terrible habit of skipping the opening credits. The credits are often funny or beautiful. Every time…
I never noticed it skipping the opening credits though.

But let's be serious here... WHO WEARS SOCKS TO BED?!
