Emerging technologies and innovations are meeting the needs of the shifting landscape
Illumination and sensor technologies have advanced rapidly
Devices like VCSELs are maturing and are well-suited to meet the coming needs of in-cabin solutions due to many advantages over incumbent light sources
Implementation scenarios will be critical as systems shift from ADAS to Autonomous Vehicles and DMS to OMS
Implementation and integration will be key as the market shifts from ADAS to Autonomous Driving, and as the focus shifts from the driver (DMS) to the passengersβ comfort and well-being (OMS)
Many advanced functions are envisioned and being developed now:
Eye/gaze tracking or control of certain functions (eyes control headlights), security (facial recognition to unlock vehicle), and in-cabin payment options (by facial recognition or fingerprint), to name a few
Future systems might need extremely high sensitivity, like detection of breathing or heartbeat
Applications for next-generation in-cabin system data will multiply
With next-generation applications, next-generation challenges will be faced
Processing vast amounts of data, safety concerns, use of biometrics, privacy concerns, how to treat custom data and details about passengers, and scenario-based vehicle behavior are just a few examples
DMS functions are closely linked to ADAS, and vice versa
DMS is more than just a warning to the driver;
Sensing is only part, how the data is used, and behaviors and actions will be key
Speed and accuracy of the engagement of the driver will become paramount
Integration of DMS into ADAS functions will be the focus
