RE: Insights from InCabin.Sensing USA 202419 Dec 2024 14:49
Held in Detroit, alongside the Tech.AD and Car.HMI events, InCabin.Sensing USA explored the latest advancements, trends and opportunities in the interior sensing market. Tech.AD focused on the future of autonomous vehicle technologies, while Car.HMI delved into development in user experience and human-machine interaction (HMI) for the automotive industry. Attendees included original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as GM, Ford, Hyundai, Stellantis and Nissan with a range of speakers from Tier One’s like Bosch, Valeo, Forvia, and Mobis.
As Lori shared in her opening speech, less than a decade ago, the industry was abuzz with talk that cars would drive themselves. While there have been significant advances in autonomous driving and robotaxis are now available in certain US cities, this will not eliminate the death toll on our roads with most cars still being driven by humans.
With the European Union leading the way to regulate driver monitoring system (DMS) technology to detect driver drowsiness and distraction, and the US looking set to follow, Lori commented that the goal for every OEM should be to increase safety with the best possible driver experience.
Over the two and half days, there was a great variety of presentations as well as World Café and Challenge Your Peers sessions. Topics ranged from driver monitoring systems, fatigue and distraction detection, interior monitoring and security, to data privacy and IT security, emotion and stress detection, and gesture and voice control.
Here are some insights from Lori on the hot topics and compelling presentations from InCabin.Sensing USA 2024. :
