Aptiv develops interior sensing platform

Aptiv informed that its interior sensing platform uses the latest generation of cameras and radars, the system can recognize and respond to drivers’ and passengers’ body positioning, gestures, and eye movement. With Aptiv Driver State Sensing, when the car senses that the driver is distracted – or even asleep – it can sound an alert or take other appropriate actions. At CES 2020, it showed Aptiv Interior/Exterior Sensor Fusion, which allows a car to detect when a driver is distracted or unaware of a hazard outside the vehicle and proactively warns them to prevent a life-threatening incident before it occurs. Another potentially lifesaving advancement is Aptiv Child Presence Detection. Aptiv uses multiple sensing modalities that can help inform and take action if a child is inadvertently left behind. It can use radar, ultrasonic sensing, or cabin cameras powered by AI algorithms to detect the presence of a baby. (From a press release on January 21, 2020)
