Hyundai Mobis, the technology division of Hyundai, has introduced a revolutionary ICM system aimed at enhancing safety by:
- Real-Time Analysis: Monitoring over 10 parameters including:
- Driver's posture
- Seatbelt usage
- Vital signs (e.g., heart rate)
- Alert Mechanisms: Notifying the driver when:
- Signs of drowsiness or illness are detected
- Mobile phones are used illegally
Beyond monitoring driver behavior, the ICM system also enhances the safety of all passengers by:
- Rear Seat Occupancy: Keeping track of backseat passengers and alerting if someone is accidentally left behind.
Driver assistance technologies are playing a crucial role in increasing road safety. Research shows:
- Reduction in Collisions: Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) has reduced rear-end collisions by up to 50% and pedestrian incidents by 30%.
- Widespread Adoption: 92% of new cars in the UK include driver assist systems, leading to fewer insurance claims and lower policy costs.
Having received European approval and surpassing NCAP expectations, Hyundai Mobis plans to introduce this technology soon, expecting it to be featured in vehicles before the next model cycle.
Hyundai's In-Cabin Monitoring system represents a significant advancement in automotive safety, offering real-time monitoring and alerts to prevent reckless driving and ensure passenger safety. This innovation also positively influences road safety statistics and insurance costs.
