Abstract
The author explores the possibility of using currently available electronic devices, similar to those used in space medicine, to monitor the medical condition of the driver before and during driving. Those devices would be connected to a computerized driver control centre (dcc) which would immediately warn the driver of major failures such as heart attack, myocardial injection, stroke or loss of consciousness. Should the driver not respond instantly, the dcc would take steps to stop the vehicle and warn bystanders.
