Jaguar Land Rover is researching new artificial intelligence (AI) technology to understand our state of mind while driving \u2013 and adjust cabin settings to improve driver well-being.<\/p>\n
The technology uses a driver-facing camera and bio metric sensing to gauge and evaluate the driver\u2019s mood and adapt a host of cabin features, including the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, media and ambient lighting. The settings will be altered in response to the driver\u2019s facial expressions to help tackle stress. Reports suggest 74 per cent of us admit to feeling stressed or overwhelmed every day*.<\/p>\n
The mood-detection system will use the latest AI techniques to continually adapt to nuances in the driver\u2019s facial expressions and implement appropriate settings automatically. In time the system will learn a driver\u2019s preference and make increasingly tailored adjustments.<\/p>\n
Personalisation settings could include changing the ambient lighting to calming colours if the system detects the driver is under stress, selecting a favourite playlist if signs of weariness are identified, and lowering the temperature in response to yawning or other signs of tiring.<\/p>\n
Jaguar Land Rover is also trialing similar technology for rear passengers, with a camera mounted in the headrest. If the system detects signs of tiredness, it could dim the lights, tint the windows and raise the temperature in the back, to help an occupant get to sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we move towards a self-driving future, the emphasis for us remains as much on the driver as it ever has,” Dr Steve Iley, Jaguar Land Rover Chief Medical Officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy taking a holistic approach to the individual driver, and implementing much of what we\u2019ve learnt from the advances in research around personal wellbeing over the last 10 or 15 years, we can make sure our customers remain comfortable, engaged and alert behind the wheel in all driving scenarios, even monotonous motorway journeys,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The new mood\u2013detection system is one of a suite of technologies that Jaguar Land Rover is exploring as part of its \u2018tranquil sanctuary\u2019 vision to improve the driving experience. Designed to create a sanctuary inside each of its luxury vehicles, the manufacturer is trialing a wide range of driver and passenger well-being features, to ensure occupants are as comfortable as possible whilst ensuring the driver remains mindful, alert and in control.<\/p>\n
Mood-detection software is the next-generation of Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s existing driver tracking technology. The Driver Condition Monitor, which is capable of detecting if a driver is starting to feel drowsy and will give an early warning to take a break, is available on all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.<\/p>\n
