Depends if your tech is in models after 2022/23 i guess. Lexus been trying stuff but looks like they haven't got there.

There’s so much money invested in automation these days,” Patrick Nolan, head of the aviation business at Australian computer vision company Seeing Machines, tells us. “What our technology around head, eye and face tracking is about is spending money on technology but focused on the human in the loop, understanding how that human is interacting with the automation. Are they alert, are they aware, do they understand what is happening?”

In a flight simulator, eye tracking technology — like that from Seeing Machines or Smart Eye — provides a real-time overlay on an instructor’s screen of where the pilots are looking on the Primary Flight Display or the Navigation Display. The resulting information can also be reviewed in debriefs after the simulator session is over.

Next, let's talk about the intelligence of the new Passat.

In terms of intelligence, I prefer this car's Travel Assist full journey intelligent driving assistance system. It has BSD blind spot monitoring, ACC adaptive cruise, Lane Assist lane keeping system, such as RTA rear reverse emergency braking, Pre-Crash prevention Features such as the occupant protection system, AEB brake assist, 360° panoramic image, and MKE intelligent fatigue monitoring system can provide simple and convenient intelligent driving functions, simplify driving operations for users, reduce driving fatigue, and improve driving comfort.

Lexus is almost there when it comes to modern technology. It debuts a new touchscreen infotainment system and user interface on the redesigned 2022 Lexus NX that will spread to all Lexus models and replace a dated mishmash of multimedia iterations. In more other 2022 models, the current interface upgrades to touchscreens, but not at the sacrifice of the tried and true CD player.

Lexus Teammate limited hands-free driving system represents the other technological evolution for Lexus in model year 2022. Available only on the 2022 Lexus LS 500h hybrid sedan, the driver-assist system competes with GM's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot to enable sustained hands-free driving on limited highways. In beta testing of the system, we found it lacked the confidence of Super Cruise and the daring of Autopilot, and the driver-monitor camera couldn't see past polarized sunglasses. Lexus has had time to tweak it before its rollout this fall.

Cant see us not being in Honda.

On the safety side of things, the car will be fitted with a Driver Monitoring Camera, which continuously monitors the driver’s actual driving pattern and facial expressions. It will then make appropriate recommendations, such as taking a short break after driving for an extended duration.

Further details of the e:NS1 and e:NP1 will be disclosed closer to its market launch, so watch this space for more updates. Moving forward, Honda plans to have 40% of total sales (in select major markets) to be comprised of EVs by 2030. This figure will be increased to 80% by 2035, and 100% by 2040.

We must be in half of these. Impossible as the cars roll off the production lines that the SP wont climb.

Another Qualcomm customer...

There’s plenty of driver-assistance technology, including autonomous parking, lane assist and a facial recognition system that can identify when the driver is fatigued or distracted.

Buyers also get 12 ultrasonic radar sensors and multiple exterior cameras that collectively monitor the car’s surroundings. The information gathered is then processed by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon computing chip, which allows for semi-autonomous driving, too.

I would expect us to be a lot higher in next 3 months. If bid did come i cant see the likes of Lombard or VSI who have stuck with it for years to accept a low ball offer.

I would hope at least double that to start.

IS THE AUDI A6 E-TRON SELF-DRIVING?
Likely not. Audi’s other cars include an extensive list of safety features including adaptive cruise with stop-start, blind-spot monitoring, and much more. Hands-free highway driving (where the driver still has to watch the road but doesn’t have to steer unless intervention is needed), akin to Ford BlueCruise, GM’s Super Cruise, or Tesla Autopilot is certainly a possibility.

New, Co-developed Solution Helps OEMs Deliver More Secure DMS Capabilities While Leveraging In-vehicle System Convergence via ****pit Controller Integration

SAN JOSE, Calif. & NETANYA, Israel & BERLIN, November 02, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GlobalLogic Inc., Jungo and OpenSynergy announced today the product of a partnership agreement to co-develop an automotive virtual driver monitoring system (DMS) solution that delivers advanced security, convergence and ease of implementation. The new solution integrates a standalone DMS currently provided on a separate engine control unit (ECU) with an existing automotive ****pit controller. As a result, the DMS provides input to both the instrument cluster (e.g., drowsiness trigger) and in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVIs) (e.g. gesture control) while safely and securely isolating personal data from other functionalities. The virtual DMS allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to define new use cases and reduce hardware costs, while protecting sensitive data against potential malicious.

Apple Mixed Reality Headset Likely Arriving In 2022

It is believed that the upcoming headset from Apple could feature a minimum of 15 camera modules, and eye-tracking in the form of long-rumoured iris recognition.

https://telecomtalk.info/apple-mixed-reality-headset-2022-launch-likely/477006/?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=pmd_Xa21RjB3ACyReU8iGfZ5_Cmyla5duEBGLqCDMLA_KDE-1635781550-0-gqNtZGzNA3ujcnBszQjl

Be nice to end up in something like this.

The money is on Apple initially leaping into the VR market with a high-end Mixed Reality headset. In 2019 "The Information" reported a major rumor on Apple's headset. They followed up in February 2021 describing swappable headbands and eye-tracking and again in September. Of course, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has made a series of predictions over time, such as this one and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has over time written a number of reports about such a development at Apple.
https://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2021/10/a-new-rumor-breathes-a-little-more-life-into-apples-mixed-reality-headset-arriving-in-2022.html
The eye tracking system will feature a transmitter and receiver that can detect and analyze eye movement information, providing users with images and information based on algorithms.

Apple's eye tracking system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitting end provides one or several different wavelengths of invisible light, and the receiving end detects the change of the invisible light reflected by the eyeball, and judges the eyeball movement based on the change.

Kuo says that most head-mounted devices are operated by handheld controllers that can't provide a smooth user experience. He believes that there are several advantages to an eye tracking system like the one Apple will use, including an intuitive visual experience that interacts seamlessly with the external environment, more intuitive operation that can be controlled with eye movements, and reduced computational burden in the form of a reduced resolution where the user is not looking.

There is no word yet on whether Apple's headset will be able to support iris recognition, but Kuo says that based on hardware specifications, an iris recognition feature should be possible. If this can be implemented, Kuo expects users will be able to use it for a "more intuitive Apple Pay method" when using headsets.

This is not the first time we've heard rumors of an eye tracking system. The Information previously said that the headset will feature advanced eye tracking capabilities along with more than a dozen cameras for tracking hand movements.

Kuo earlier this month said that Apple would release its mixed reality headset in "mid-2022," with the headset to then be followed by augmented reality glasses in 2025.
