100% nonsense.
We've already got plenty of peer reviewed science.
Tolerance is everything, and there's no empirical way to measure it.
Well perhaps we'd better come up with something. Perhaps something along the lines of those "are you really awake?" alarm apps that require you to solve some puzzles, but specifically testing driving skills/reactions, before the vehicle will start.
If there was a way to determine...
"Are you so high that reality frames are kind of strobey?"
That's the real point where THC is an issue with motor skills.
But ititerally doesn't happen to regular users. So it's... Amorphous
Seems to me driving does not just require adequate motor skills, it also requires adequate reactions, decision-making and observation.
The real barrier to development is that companies don't want to be in the position of "your app cleared this person to drive and they killed my wife."
