The transportation sector has been on a remarkable journey since the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI). With futuristic visions of flying cars and advanced vehicle innovations, the industry readily embraced AI’s transformative potential. Today, AI is driving significant changes in the transportation sector, touching nearly every aspect of the way we move people and goods. From self-driving cars to in-cabin monitoring systems and AI-powered customer experiences, AI is ushering in a new era of mobility.
Enhancing safety with Cipia’s AI
Cipia has made driving safer by integrating AI and computer vision within vehicle cabins. Their driver monitoring system tracks various factors, including gaze, eye movement, head position, and blink rate, to assess a driver’s alertness. If a driver appears drowsy or distracted, the vehicle can issue an alert or suggest a break. Autonomous vehicles also benefit from this technology, as it helps them decide when to take control from the driver and when it’s safe to return control.
Moreover, Cipia has developed an AI occupancy monitoring system that watches the entire car cabin. This system can detect seat belt usage and even identify passengers smoking cigarettes, making it invaluable for autonomous taxis. With Cipia’s technology integrated into 40 car models from eight automakers and growing, it’s clear that AI-driven safety features are gaining traction in the industry.
