When the unexpected happens, vehicles must understand not only what they see but how drivers feel. This panel explores the duality between environmental and emotional edge cases — from low-light or sensor-challenged conditions to high-stress, panic-driven human reactions. How can in-cabin systems interpret both external factors and internal states to respond effectively when multiple things go wrong? Bringing together experts in AI perception, human behaviour modelling, and system integration, this discussion examines how context-aware sensing can bridge the gap between machine vision and human emotion. As vehicles become more intelligent, understanding this duality is key to creating truly holistic safety systems that anticipate, rather than simply react to, critical moments inside the cabin.
