For instance, when he powered up the car, an in-car camera aimed at the instrument panel picked up the telltale flickering lights of an infrared camera. "Is that a driver-facing camera hidden in the display?" I asked. And indeed it is. The Benz camera, like the ones in Ford and GM driver-monitoring systems, will help enable hands-free assistance by ensuring that the driver is paying attention. But Wuttke explained that its secondary role (or, as it might turn out, primary one) is to make sure the driver isn’t staring at the passenger-side portion of the Hyperscreen, the 56-inch-wide curved glass screen that spans the width of the dash.

From the post, we can confirm that Cadillac has begun pre-production testing on Lyriq prototypes in Michigan. Furthermore, GM appears to still be on track to begin production on the Lyriq in Q1 of next year. That could mean earlier than expected deliveries of the Lyriq, but for now its still looking like sometime in 2022.

Sun ‘driver monitoring system‘is not something for the distant future. Euro NCAP, the body that assesses the safety of new cars in Europe, expects cars on the road from 2023 that drivers will keep a close eye on with sensors. For example, the camera is located in the dashboard, the rear-view mirror or in the ceiling, so that the rear seat can also be observed to see if, for example, everyone is properly wearing their seat belts. The primary goal: to check whether the driver is alert and remains attentive – even if the car itself is steering for a short time.

Earlier this year, civil penalties for violations of Arizona’s hands-free law went into effect. It is illegal for drivers to talk or text on a device not engaged in hands-free mode on all roadways in Arizona.

Self-Driving System Rankings
03:33

While fully-autonomous vehicles have yet to takeover roadways, the technology that drives them is available in modern cars. We rank systems from Nissan, Cadillac, Volvo and Tesla to find out how well they work and how safely they can be used.

So, in Tommy's opinion, at least as far as highway driving is concerned (which is where most of the "automated" driving should take place at this moment), the Super Cruise is the superior system. While he may be biased (we all are, even if we don't realize it), based on what you can see in the clip below, you would have probably reached the same conclusion.

Simply Wall St add the new fund money we sitting pretty.
Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, Seeing Machines (LON:SEE) shareholders have done very well over the last year, with the share price soaring by 294%.

While Covid-19 has slowed driver-assist features, they will be a common presence in everyday vehicle by 2025. Here’s what the industry needs to know.

"ADAS features will be ubiquitous by 2025 with 85% of vehicles produced globally featuring some level of driving automation, while highly automated L4/5 will still be a rarity."

The driver monitoring systems (DMS) market is expected to grow to more than $2.3Bn, according to Emergan Research, owing to demands for increased road safety and new government regulations.

For example, in July 2020 the US House of Representatives passed the Moving Forward Act with safety measures for automobiles, including in-cabin monitoring of distracted and intoxicated drivers. The European Union Council of Ministers passed a general safety regulation mandating that all newly manufactured vehicles be equipped with advanced safety systems, such as DMS, beginning 2022 with full implementation in 2026. China also has legislated the mandatory installation of DMSs for commercial vehicles.

DMS is an essential requirement for advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems, which use both visible and infrared light sources for illumination. Basic driver monitoring features include head tracking, gaze tracking, eye state analysis (blink rate), blink duration, eye open or closed duration, gaze direction, yawning and head movements. All can be used in driver safety applications to detect driver distraction and drowsiness.

Well done the winners.

Old fool are you going to do one for end June?

Iam sure Qualcomm may pick up the odd contract ; ) To add to our current RFQs, some good partners aswell...
In addition to Amazon, the list of partners for the platform is impressive, consisting of system, software, and semiconductor companies - Alps Alpine, Archermind, Bosch, Foxconn, Google, Green Hills Software, Harman, Joynext, LG Electronics, Maxim Integrated, Micron, OpenSynergy, Panasonic Corporation, Blackberry QNX, Sasken Technologies, Seeing Machines, Thundercomm, and Visteon. According to Qualcomm, the goal is to provide an open system that allows OEMs to select and customize the platform with the OEM’s preferred solution.

Snapdragon Automotive ****pit
Among the announcements were that Qualcomm has secured design wins at 20 of the top 25 automotive OEMs and Tier-1 system providers with its scalable 3rd-Generation Snapdragon Automotive ****pit platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for in-car virtual assistance, driver interfaces, and safety. Qualcomm also announced that it has partnered with Amazon to integrate a customizable version of Alexa for an in-vehicle intelligent assistant using the Alexa Automotive Software Development Kit (SDK) into the platform. Through the SDK, OEMs can provide a custom experience including unique wake words, voices, and other functions. The Alexa functionality can also be enabled and updated through Qualcomm’s Car-to-Cloud service similar to the Snapdragon Telematics system. The Alexa platform joins the digital assistants from Google’s Automotive Services (GAS), Cerence, and other virtual assistants already supported on the Snapdragon Automotive ****pit Platform.

Win rate for RFQs excl China 40-44%. So all these RFQs out atm we know some nice wins be in there Iam sure.

Never seen Cenkos write that b4 on RFQ success rate?

Red

Hes said market was $1 billion and it doesnt matter if get 35-40%.

He also said Qualcomm share in that auto space is 60%

Ross

He did mention Japan aswell but cant remember in what text? Was it expected business?

Never heard of these b4.

Thanks to TRL’s involvement, a new EC-approved approach to system validation has been devised. As part of the procedure, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) must provide evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of their DDAW systems in detecting and alerting a drowsy driver. OEMs will receive guidance on what criteria must be met to obtain type approval, including illustrating that the system effectively alerts the driver at the moment, or prior to, a dangerous level of drowsiness – otherwise known as the DDAW threshold.

Kinnear continues: “TRL has a long history of helping the European Commission to implement safety measures through its evidence-based research and analysis. With the latest DDAW measures, we are continuing to innovate in the regulatory landscape and improve the safety of our transport systems.”

TRL have also been working on the preliminary analysis for the preparation of a Regulation on advanced driver distraction warning (ADDW) systems, which is required for conventional vehicles by 2024. These types of systems will monitor the driver’s level of visual attention to the traffic situation and warns them when they are distracted.

Dr Kirsten Huysamen, the Technical Lead for this work, explains: “The implications of our work in developing standards for driver monitoring systems should significantly reduce the occurrence of road accidents. DDAW and ADDW systems have a high potential of saving lives on EU roads; potentially preventing 16.9% of all fatal and serious injuries. Regulating systems that monitor and predict driver behaviour has never been done before and this called for TRL to develop a novel and innovative approach to assess and validate these types of systems.”

The UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) is working alongside the European Commission (EC) to develop critical regulation around Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning (DDAW) systems – which are designed to monitor drivers’ levels of drowsiness and warn them when it is no longer safe to be at the wheel.

https://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news/safety/european-project-underway-to-monitor-and-legislate-against-driver-drowsiness.html

Research shows that driver fatigue is a contributory factor in up to 20% of road collisions and up to 25% of fatalities and serious injuries. In recognition of these alarming statistics, the EC is developing the technical requirements for a system which not only monitors drivers’ levels of drowsiness and warns them when they are drowsy, but also can monitor drivers’ levels of visual attention and warn them when distracted.

The outcome of this research has fed in the EC’s work on drafting the DDAW regulation, including in establishing the minimum performance requirements and a validation assessment method. Overall, the aim is for DDAW systems to be mandated on all new vehicles by July 2022.

Neale Kinnear, head of transport safety at TRL, explains: “Driver drowsiness and the wider issue of fatigue has been a long-standing problem across the surface transport industry for many years. Although the new drowsiness monitoring systems being deployed by manufacturers are a valuable addition in supporting a driver to stay alert whilst reducing the risk of incidents, it is critical that we standardise the accuracy and reliability of these systems to ensure consistency across the market.”
