Starting with the driver monitoring system, or DMS, the Inca Jay improves on the system present in 2019-2022 model year vehicles with a more sensitive near-infrared, driver-facing camera.

“No matter the exterior lighting, whether day or night, it will still track your face and know where it is,” said Horani.

The idea is to improve safety by better understanding the disposition of the driver.

The camera detects driver drowsiness or sudden sickness based on facial expressions, for instance, if the driver's eyes are closed or mouth is open. The DMS also monitors other body information that includes pulse and respiration rates and face-tracking and image-processing technologies detect slight variations in skin tone due to changes in heartbeat.

It can tell if the driver seems grumpy or drowsy, adjust the music to town through which you're traveling, assist in finding a parking space and paying for it, let you know if you're in the correct lane for your intended route, adjust the headlights for nighttime driving conditions and provide song lyrics if you or your passengers are feeling the urge for karaoke.
Those are some of the key features of the Inca Jay digital ****pit of the future developed by Filament Labs, the newly formed Advanced Engineering arm of Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, Inc.

“We developed the Inca Jay automotive ****pit platform with advanced ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) features designed to help enhance safety and UX on future vehicles,” said Mark Rakoski, vice president of engineering at Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, in a statement.

On Monday, Forbes.com was given a detailed demonstration of Inca Jay's capabilities at Mitsubishi Electric's facility in Plymouth, Mich. near Detroit.

Before launching into the demo, Advanced Development HMI Principal Engineer Brian Debler held up what he called the “heart” of the system, Mitsubishi-designed board running the third generation Snapdragon ****pit Platform, which uses Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY® real-time operating system.

Ford has been throwing some curve balls at us in recent years. The new Bronco, the baby Bronco (the Bronco Sport), and producing an electric crossover with the word "Mustang" in the name were fairly substantial surprises to pretty much everyone when they first launched. Now though, if you want to have even the faintest clue about what the blue oval and its luxury division, Lincoln, may do next, you may want to look to China, something the CEO Jim Farley seems rather keen on.
We may see Lincoln get special features that may eventually make their way to lesser Ford products. Sort of like how GM’s "autonomous" driving software Super Cruise was at first only available on Cadillacs but is now on other higher profile GMC and Chevrolet models.

The front fascia also shows evidence of additional sensors being added which points to Cadillac making its Super Cruise self-driving system (with monitoring) for highways available on the updated XT4. By the time the updated XT4 is out, parent company General Motors is expected to have its more advanced Ultra Cruise system ready, though it isn’t clear if this system will be offered on the XT4. Ultra Cruise is claimed to be capable of handling 95% of the country’s roads, meaning many journeys won’t require any actual driving by a human, though monitoring will still be required at all times.

Regardless of BYD rising its manufacturing capability, the order backlog has grown to over 700,000 models. BYD is aiming at 280,000 automobiles delivered each month however the buyer demand is rising and forcing folks to attend for as much as 5 months for his or her electrical automobiles.

COVID restrictions and electrical energy shortages in China are nonetheless wreaking havoc on manufacturing, BYD’s August deliveries had been affected by it however had been nonetheless increased than July’s numbers.

BYD is the highest promoting EV producer in China, its market share rose to 32.7% in July. The corporate plans to promote not less than 4 million electrical automobiles in 2023 which can put it at a 40% share of the complete EV market in China.

Soulboy well said. Biggest frustration is $0 with Q announced and lack of updated contracts with existing OEMs. If Mr Market thought/Knew Q was really $250-500m & updated contracts with 4 other OEMs was the same what would the SP be by now?

Ford Motor F +1.88% had a strong August. The Detroit-based auto maker has been getting strong traction with its three electric-vehicle offerings.

Ford (ticker: F) reported August monthly sales on Friday. U.S. electric-vehicle sales were 5,897, down from 7,669 delivered in July. But summer months are slow for car dealers. EV sales jumped 307% year over year.

Qualcomm's Amon also hinted at some major developments in the field of electric vehicles.

"The ultimate mobile experience is the car," said Amon, adding that Qualcomm is developing an open, horizontal platform for in-car systems. He also announced a special Automotive Investor Day on September 22, at which the company will detail its auto plan.

“We're working with Qualcomm Technologies on customized virtual reality chipsets -- powered by Snapdragon XR platforms and technology -- for our future roadmap of Quest products,” said Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO, Meta. “As we continue to build more advanced capabilities and experiences for virtual and augmented reality, it has become more important to build specialized technologies to power our future VR headsets and other devices. Unlike mobile phones, building virtual reality brings novel, multi-dimensional challenges in spatial computing, cost, and form factor. These chipsets will help us keep pushing virtual reality to its limits and deliver awesome experiences.”

The 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge is one of the many electric SUV options on the market. It provides a good mix of specs and features. In terms of safety, Volvo lives up to its reputation for making reliable cars, as the XC40 Recharge has a lot of advanced driver assistance systems or ADAS. Here’s a look at the 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge and all of the ADAS that Volvo offers on it.
As Aptiv wrote, semi-autonomous self-driving tech is not perfect yet, and drivers will still need to be alert and engaged. Regardless, many ADAS have been shown to be remarkably effective at reducing accidents.

For example, forward collision warning can reduce front-end crashes by 27%. Rear automatic braking can reduce rear-ends by 78%. Both of those features are standard on all Volvo XC40 Recharge models. Pilot Assist is similar to other semi-autonomous self-driving features, such as Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise. As such, Pilot Assist can help folks handle freeway traffic more easily.

After making a major impact on the electric pickup market in the United States with the F-150 Lightning, Ford is rumored to be developing its second EV truck model, which will be separate from its introductory offering.

According to Automotive News, Ford may be working to introduce another electric truck with an all-new nameplate, meaning that it would likely not be an electric variant of a pre-existing model. For a brand that already offers a wide array of pickup offerings, this may be a strange concept, but with the success of the Ford F-150 generally, it is understandable that the brand would want to capitalize on consumer pickup demand.

There aren’t a whole lot of major changes being introduced for the 2023 Chevy Suburban, but the few changes that are being added are buffered by one major new addition for the model year on select trims: Super Cruise. This is GM’s ace-up-their-sleeve that has been rolled out across various top-level nameplates across Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac brands. Select 2021 model year vehicles eligible for utilizing Super Cruise will also be able to receive an over-the-air update, giving the company more breadth to capture a larger market share when it comes to hands-free, semi-autonomous driving. But for a vehicle like the Chevy Suburban, how much of a difference will it actually make? In order to find out, we need to take a deep dive into some of its adjacent features and what drivers expect from a vehicle like the Suburban.
Adoption Rates for the Future
The most interesting thing about GM’s strategy of including Super Cruise in select vehicles is that this feature––if properly advertised and adopted by target demographics––could help move big numbers for specific trims within the vehicle’s segment. For the Chevy Suburban, it will be very interesting to see how a feature like Super Cruise will help alter the adoption rates among the core demographic and if it will help push sales where they may have been lacking.
