Scaling In-Cabin Safety: From Sensors to System-Level Integration

Scale in-cabin safety with AI, multi-modal sensing, and system-level integration. Insights from Magna and Brighter Signals on data, architecture, and safety.
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.
