Sentiance, a Belgian sensor profiling startup, provides an AI platform that analyses data to create a deep understanding of human behaviour and context to build new and personalised products and services in domains such as health, mobility, smart living and commerce. For mobility, the company uses smartphone data that includes GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes which follow the user around and extrapolate what the user or driver is going to do.
“It’s all about personalisation of the car experience to make peoples’ lives easier,” says the President of Sentiance, Dimitri Maex.
Sentiance technology is used within Peugeot’s Instinct Concept vehicle. Depending on the purpose of the drive, such as shopping, commuting or dropping off the kids, the car is able to automatically change its characteristics, such as lights, position of the steering wheel and seating position. Maex says the company’s algorithm is so advanced that it was even able to figure out that an employee was going to the gym on a day that he usually didn’t, due to coming to work early and leaving early.
Sentiance is currently working with five automakers and Maex sees the possibility that this kind of data can be used for things such as pre-conditioning the car in inclement weather, automatically setting the destination in the mapping system and for mobility predictions such as knowing when someone will need a specific vehicle.
