Inferring Affective State of Driver and In Cabin Occupants: Designing Emotionally Intelligent Vehicles

As vehicles evolve into software-defined platforms with increasingly sophisticated UX and HMI requirements, the integration of advanced Machine Learning, ADAS, and edge computing functionality into these sophisticated safety-related HMI demands a robust framework of safety-critical APIs that balances performance, safety, and user experience. This session explores how Vulkan Safety Critical is transforming the in-cabin experience by enabling seamless integration of the latest cutting-edge safety critical use cases..
Vulkan SC provides detailed control of GPU acceleration that can be rigorously specified and tested to meet ISO 26262 ASIL D automotive safety standards, enabling state-of-the-art graphics and computation functionality for modern vehicle HMI systems and digital cockpits. The presentation will demonstrate how Vulkan SC creates the foundation for a visually stunning yet safety-compliant digital cockpit system with its new advanced use cases. Unlike conventional graphics APIs, Vulkan SC targets the elimination of undefined behaviors, predictable execution times, and enhances fault detection, reporting, and correction while maintaining MISRA C alignment, essential for automotive applications where reliability and safety cannot be compromised.
