Drinking and riding your motorcycle is not smart, and it's against the law. Many people can get away with it, since stopping vehicles takes time and money, and the results are low. But two researchers in Greece have come up with something that may put a stop to that.
They developed an algorithm that, when using a thermal camera can tell the LEOLaw Enforcement Officer - any kind of Police Officer: municipal, state, federal or national. if you're drunk or not. What this means is that a cop could get a small handheld camera, point it at motorcycles and cars on the road, and see who is drunk or not.
Scary stuff...
So far it's just the initial developments, but if it can be made into a full fledged tool. You can bet your bottom dollar that cops around the world will be equipping themselves with such as device.
I can already see the folks who make portable speed radar devices to incorporate it into future models.
