You’re driving in your car, you notice a new restaurant as you drive past and you wonder: What was that? A car of the not-so-distant future may be able to answer that question. Because it knows what a driver (or passenger) is looking at - be it a landmark on the side of the road, the dashboard, or the road ahead. In the first place, monitoring the driver's gaze and head position enables important safety features, says Bosch product manager Tyler Warga. Geoff and Shuko learn how cameras and radar sensors can pick up signals that people are subconsciously sending. This can help prevent drunk driving, reduce distractions, and save children's lives. Future autonomous cars could even benefit from a sense of the driver's emotional state: they could pick up on Duchenne smiles. As University of Missouri professor Kennon Sheldon explains, this type of smile signals honest amusement. So be amused and wowed when you join us for a sensor-packed ride!
