Camera-Based Driver Monitoring Systems on Safe, Semi-Autonomous Driving

The excitements around the Autonomous Driving are increasingly dynamics with a set of holistic initiatives that aim to address the safety challenges of managing human interactions with autonomous systems. Camera-based driver monitoring systems (DMS) are at the heart of this industry.

In effect, one can observe that, leveraging camera-based DMS to provide the host autonomous system with a comprehensive understanding of the driver’s biometric availability is the foundation of safe, semi-autonomous HMI.

“A number of semi-autonomous system launches from OEMs like Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Tesla have highlighted the importance of a robust human machine interface, or HMI, in scenarios that require an automated system to work in tandem with a human driver,” says James Hodgson, Industry Analyst at ABI Research’’.
