How Hand-Tracking Is Shaping the Future of In-Cabin Monitoring

How Hand-Tracking Is Shaping the Future of In-Cabin Monitoring Agnes Jernström Neonode ICEUR26

From detecting distraction to predicting driver intent, hand-tracking is becoming an increasingly valuable part of the intelligent cockpit.

As in-cabin monitoring evolves beyond traditional gaze and facial analysis, advances in computer vision are unlocking new ways to understand driver behaviour and create safer, more intuitive human-machine interfaces. In this interview, Agnes Jernström, Senior Software Engineer at Neonode, explains how hand-tracking is helping to advance occupant monitoring and the next generation of in-cabin AI.

Why Context Matters More Than Detection in Driver Monitoring

Why Context Matters More Than Detection in Driver Monitoring

Most driver monitoring systems are built on rule-based logic and fixed thresholds.

These approaches are straightforward to implement and validate, but they struggle to capture the variability of real-world driving. The same behaviour can represent very different levels of risk depending on vehicle dynamics, road environment, and task load.

At InCabin USA 2025, CorrActions CEO Ilan Reingold will showcase a breakthrough in cognitive driver monitoring: detecting “mind-off” states—even when the driver’s hands are on the wheel and eyes on the road. Using software-only micro-motion sensing, CorrActions’ approach moves beyond cameras to detect subtle motor signals that reveal real-time cognitive impairment. In this exclusive video Q&A, Reingold shares how the system works, its validation journey, and what to expect from CorrActions at the show.
