Affectiva Automotive develops AI platform to prevent driver fatigue driving

Many drivers have experienced fatigue driving. At the same time, there are numerous traffic accidents caused by fatigue driving each year. Most of the reasons for fatigue driving are caused by driver's inattention caused by prolonged driving. Therefore, American Affectiva announced last week that in order to solve the driver's fatigue driving, an automotive AI platform for monitoring humans and passengers was developed. , to reduce traffic accidents caused by fatigue driving.

Automotive AI is the first multi-mode in-cabin AI sensing solution for automotive applications that automakers can use to design devices that "feel" the emotional state of drivers. It can identify specific human emotions. For example, when the driver is distracted or drowsy, he or she will give an alert to remind the driver to rest or increase his attention.

Although self-driving cars are currently on the road, according to the existing autopilot technology, it takes at least ten years or more to fully realize the mass production of large-scale autonomous vehicles. Therefore, human drivers will not be able to drive for a short period of time. disappear. Of course, even with the addition of the AI ​​driving platform, we have to pay attention when driving. After all, when the AI ​​detects that the driver is tired, an accident may have occurred.

driver fatigue driving alarm system MR688

In fact, as early as in 2007, there was already an intelligent vehicle-mounted device specially designed to detect drivers' fatigue driving. The CareDrive driver fatigue warning system MR688 was independently developed and manufactured by Hao Nai Industrial Co., Ltd. and can detect driver fatigue and points at any time. Driving, looking around, speeding, playing mobile phones, making phone calls, smoking, yawning, etc., and sending a sharp warning sound to remind drivers to avoid accidents in advance. The commercial version of the MR688 series can also be integrated with the fleet management system and output these alarm messages to the management background. There are also more relevant automotive active safety systems that can be used in combination to effectively facilitate fleet safety management.
