Synthetic Data for In-Cabin Monitoring and Virtual Validation

As in-cabin monitoring systems become more sophisticated, validating DMS, OMS and child presence detection across real-world human behaviour, sensor conditions and edge cases is becoming increasingly difficult.
Javier Salado, Product Manager at Anyverse, explains how synthetic data and simulation can support in-cabin monitoring validation, reduce the domain gap between virtual and real sensor data, and contribute to future Euro NCAP virtual assessment ahead of InCabin Europe 2026.
Leading OEMs and Tier 1s Are Coming to InCabin Europe

InCabin Europe brings together experts from across the automotive supply chain, creating a focused meeting point for the in-cabin engineering community.
With 60% of attendees coming from OEMs and Tier 1s, you’ll be in the room with engineers, technical leaders and decision makers from companies already confirmed, including Toyota, Stellantis, Å koda, SEAT, Magna, Valeo, Mitsubishi Electric and more…
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.
Sara’s Top Takeaways: What We Learned at InCabin USA 2026

InCabin USA 2026 was so much fun, but of course we had to be productive too. Here’s what “productive” looked like for the attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and partners who joined us in Detroit.
A special thank you to Tobii, our Founding Partner, for helping us build an event that prioritises a happy, engaged, and collaborative InCabin community. The industry showed up ready to share, challenge, learn, and connect – and the result was three fantastic days of discussion and discovery.
