Emerging Automotive In-Cabin Sensing Solutions for Safety and Comfort

Automotive cabin sensing is a rapidly evolving area with a range of applications using a combination of sensors and intelligent algorithms.

Today there are two key aspects driving the development of in-cabin sensing technologies.

Firstly, regulations to improve occupant safety are being realized. Both Euro NCAP standards and European Commission (EC) regulations mandate the use of driver monitoring systems (DMS) by 2022, and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommends DMS in semi-autonomous cars. A hands on/off detection (HOD) system is already required in 2021 to meet UN legislation (R79) for lane keeping assist systems (LKAS). Also, child presence detection systems will become mandatory in the U.S. by 2022. With this forthcoming legislation, DMS and occupant sensing capabilities will become a standard feature of L2+ and above driving assist platforms.

The second key aspect is comfort enhancement for passengers—for example, through emotional sensing. OEMs have detected this is a differentiation factor and will use leading-edge innovation technologies to address it.

How DMS Can Reduce EU Traffic Fatalities

Safety

The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has calculated that 51 people per million inhabitants in the EU were killed in road accidents in 2019, with 95% of the cases caused by a human factor: driver error, distraction, drowsiness, stress, or fatigue.1 And the European Commission has announced a major package of transport safety initiatives with the “target of a 50 per cent cut in road deaths and serious injuries by 2030, with Vision Zero the aim by 2050.”2

DMS today already support other advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). As an example, an LKAS is usually combined with an HOD system to detect the hands of the driver on the steering wheel. The system informs the driver to take back control when required. In addition, DMS offer new features to detect the driver’s health and ensure adequate attention levels.

The introduction of vital sign monitoring (VSM) technology, such as electrocardiography (ECG) or electrodermal activity (EDA ? skin impedance), offers the ability to sense the driver’s health and stress level in order to avoid potential issues before they even arise. For example, if the VSM system detects the driver is unable to control the car due to drowsiness or fatigue, ADAS can bring the car to a safe state (slow down, steer to an emergency lane, or stop the car).

SEE will have been swallowed up way before then. We are the industry leader. That market dominant position will trigger interest from a number of companies...our embedded role in every vehicle provides a company with a bird's eye view of the inside of the car, the driver (revenues) and the passengers (more revenues)...

'Analog Devices is collaborating with the industry leader in #drivermonitoringsystem technology, to showcase the combined strength when @seeingmachines ' DMS algorithms are paired with the power of our silicon.'

From L18's Twitter...note the 'industry leader' reference. I like that a lot. We are now indeed the 'King of DMS'....

Let the floodgates open and let's see more contracts from the RFQ's

Until I met @semicast_res
, I considered #DMS just as another "nanny technology" we can do without. Now I'm a convert. Latest @OJOYOSHIDA

Yes, vile. 4 yeara ago Sturgid declared North Sea oil would deliver Scottish Independence but now she's slithered into bed with the Greens to secure a Parl majority she's decided that North Sea oil companies are evil polluters who must be run out of town. I'd say that's vile, exploitative, pathetic and hypocritical..but that's Socialists for you...shameless without morality, decency or dignity

Empire’s well-side crew is clearly refining its act.

The new Carpentaria-2H well that included well pad construction, water monitoring bores, formation evaluation, drilling, casing, cementing, and suspending the well came in at a cost of $11.5m. This compares favourably against the relatively simple Carpentaria-1 well that cost $11.3m but did not have all the complexities of going horizontal.

The company said the Carpentaria-2H well results proved the continuous extension and consistency of the Velkerri shales from the original Carpentaria-1 well all the way through to Carpentaria-2H some 11kms away.

Empire’s Beetaloo Basin project has received significant Northern Territory and Federal Government endorsement and funding, as it is hoped a full field development would stimulate industry and regional employment.

The first half of the Carpentaria game plan has been run and Empire’s strategists are planning the second half fraccing program. The new year should see an upgraded reserves report after which Empire will take to the field again and get stuck into fraccing and production testing of this very promising well.

Empire Energy is now planning a follow up fraccing program with its US consultants to test a 192 metres long horizontal drill section at its recently completed Carpentaria-2H well in the Beetaloo Basin’s Velkerri Formation. The 192m section is thought to be the longest ever horizontal well ever drilled in the Beetaloo Basin’s Velkerri Formation. Carpentaria-2H is already showing early signs of liquids-rich shale gas.

Empire said the completion of the Carpentaria-2H well was an outstanding result in terms of drilling costs and time savings compared with all other wells in the Beetaloo Sub-basin.

It said the Silver City Rig 40 was released on the 16th of December, 39 days after spudding with the horizontal section itself taking only five days to drill. It was drilled to a total measured depth of 3,150m with a 1,345m horizontal section in the Velkerri B Shale target.

The results of the earlier Carpentaria-2 vertical well and the latest Carpentaria-2 horizontal well will be sent back to the US for an updated Contingent and Prospective Resources report for that particular lease.

Planning of the all-important fracture stimulation and extended production testing of Carpentaria-2H will also kick off shortly.

Empire said the shales from Carpentaria -2H were highly consistent and contiguous with those intersected at the earlier Carpentaria-1 discovery, albeit somewhat deeper and the company said a corresponding increase in well bore pressure was likely to drive flow rates.

Strong gas shows were recorded throughout the drilling of the horizontal section and core samples from the vertical hole showed encouraging signs of hydrocarbon bubbling, which Empire said represented live gas.

Yes, it's all very positive for Beetaloo with decent drilling reports from all Beetaloo operators, political backing, public funding and major private operator interest, some I suspect not yet revealed ie Inpex etc

The direction is to the upside rather than downside and that soothes the nerves and boosts confidence

Leave the divisive vaccine politics at home. This form of demonisation is becoming reminiscent of Germany in the 1930's. It's unpleasant and DEEPLY VULGAR

VW as per CENKOS ...black and white

who the feck is the seller?

Company momentum in terms of contract wins etc is now set towards the upside

It is VW Audi -

'Comment: The confirmation of the award, which was first highlighted in the recent fund raise backed by Magna International, is positive. We believe this award with a new eighth OEM is with one of world’s largest and most sophisticated automotive automakers, the VW Audi Group. The quote from Nick DiFiore, highlights the level of refinement needed to win the program and we believe also demonstrates the technological moat separating Seeing Machines from most other DMS suppliers. We also believe this RFQ win is the single largest to-date announced in the industry by a margin of at least 50% and more than twice the size of the previous largest RFQ win announced by Seeing Machines (June 2018 - OEM4 [believed to be Ford/Veoneer]). In addition to this, based on the experience from previous RFQ wins where the Seeing Machines DMS technology has been rolled out across many more vehicle models without further announcements, that this figure is likely to be highly conservative compared to the potential software licence income through this OEM. We conclude by iterating that this remains the start of an exciting journey for Seeing Machines with many more automotive RFQs in process as the global automotive industry rushes to adopt Driver Monitoring Systems as primary safety systems. We iterate our Buy recommendation and 16p group valuation. '

So it's VW is it? Hope so

At least CNKS will update
