Update 21

Started Coding — Part 6

Another super long session today, but this was a major breakthrough! I completely overhauled how the system thinks.

The ESP32 was doing way too much math and crashing the video stream, so I moved all the heavy lifting to the Python script on my laptop. I also fixed the crazy false alarms on the crash detection (turning my head is definitely not a 10G car crash lol) and stopped the video feed from freezing whenever I moved my head too fast.

The code also talks to me to map out exactly where the center road and mirrors are based on my specific seat, and actively warns me if I look away for more than 2 seconds.

Next up: Fixing one last gray-screen video bug and finally starting the AI fusion model to combine the head and eye tracking! :)
