What Comes Next for DMS+OMS: A Conversation with Tobii
We spoke to Carmen Pătrașcu, who leads Tobii’s interior sensing Sales and Marketing, about what comes after the world’s first single-camera DMS+OMS solution reaches the road, and how broader adoption can open the next chapter of interior sensing.
As Head of Sales and Marketing, Carmen works where Autosense technology meets the market. Her focus is not only on turning complex engineering into a clear proposition, but also on understanding what different OEMs and Tier 1s need to move from interest to implementation.
Why Global Shutter HDR Is the Next Step for In-Cabin Cameras
As in-cabin cameras take on more responsibilities, from driver monitoring and occupant sensing to videoconferencing and user authentication, image sensors must deliver far more than high-quality pictures.
The rise of RGB-IR imaging is driving demand for High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities that work with global shutter technology, enabling reliable sensing in challenging lighting conditions. We spoke with Tomas Geurts, Senior R&D Director, Europe at OMNIVISION, about why HDR requirements are changing, how RGB-IR is reshaping in-cabin monitoring, and what future camera architectures will need to support the next generation of intelligent vehicle interiors.
Beyond Compliance: How Agentic AI Could Unlock the Next Generation of Occupant Monitoring
Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS) are evolving from regulatory necessities into intelligent platforms capable of understanding occupants, context and intent.
As legal requirements and Euro NCAP establish the baseline for safety, the next wave of innovation lies in using the same sensing infrastructure to enable proactive safety, personalised assistance, comfort and more natural human-vehicle interaction. We spoke with Dr. Frederik Diederichs, Head of Perceptual User Interfaces Group at Fraunhofer IOSB, about how agentic AI, multimodal sensing and rapid prototyping tools such as AktiMeter are helping the industry explore what comes next for intelligent in-cabin systems.

Safety, Ethics & AI: Pavan Vemuri on the Future of Intelligent Vehicles
As the intelligent cabin evolves from a passive environment into an AI-driven, emotionally aware space, automakers face growing challenges around safety, privacy, transparency, and driver trust. In this article, we speak with Pavan Vemuri of SDVerse about the governance frameworks, ethical considerations, and safety standards needed to ensure next-generation in-cabin AI enhances the user experience without compromising autonomy or security.
The Cognitive Gap in Driver Monitoring – Why “Eyes on Road” Isn’t Enough
As camera-based DMS reaches maturity, attention is shifting to what it still can’t see. In this interview, we explore with Vered Levy-Ron, CEO of CorrActions, the limitations of gaze-based systems, the challenge of validating cognitive-state detection, and why integrating driver readiness into L2+ and L3 systems requires a fundamental rethink of how engineers define safety.
Engineering Trust Into the Autonomous Cabin: A Conversation on AI, Security, and What the Industry Must Do Next
As the cabin becomes human‑aware and autonomy advances, the industry must move beyond intelligent systems to trusted systems where every decision is grounded in verifiable data, secure execution, and hardware‑rooted integrity.
