Automotive sensing and monitoring systems are helping to keep vehicle occupants safe in many different ways. Some are focussed on detecting potential hazards on the roadways. Others address the health and comfort of everyone inside the vehicle. These capabilities will become increasingly important as the industry moves towards a driverless future. Most technology on the market and under development relies heavily on cameras, radar and LiDAR, but are these enough to ensure safety and reliability when there’s no human at the wheel?
