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.
Building the Unified AI Stack for Software-Defined Vehicles

As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, the challenge is no longer adding more AI features- it’s creating an architecture that allows them to work together.
In this interview, Natalie Stormanns, Head of Infotainment and Digital Experience at MHP – A Porsche Company, explores why unified AI stacks, centralized compute, and integrated vehicle and cabin data are becoming essential to delivering safer, more intelligent, and more personalised driving experiences.
