Mornings are often a juggling act, with bags to pack, kids to wrangle, and traffic to navigate. When your mind is always running ahead to the next task, it’s easy to miss the little things.
But what if your car could take some of the load off?
In this video, we follow an everyday driving scenario recreated in Smart Eye’s in-house simulator. A parent navigating the morning rush demonstrates how interior sensing technology can help with the daycare drop-off.
By using cameras and AI, interior sensing allows the car to understand what’s happening inside the cabin – recognizing who is in the vehicle, how they’re seated, what they’re interacting with, or detecting signs of driver distraction or drowsiness. This understanding lets the car react in real time, fine-tuning safety settings and stepping in to help the driver when needed.
Watch below as the interior sensing system adapts to the child’s car seat, minimizes distractions, and makes sure nothing important gets left behind.
As the driver enters the vehicle, the system automatically adjusts the seat position and display view based on their height and eye position – no need for manual fine-tuning. The car also detects a child seat in the back and disables the airbag accordingly, ensuring the correct safety measures are in place before starting the drive.
Midway through the drive, the driver picks up their phone to send a quick text. Smart Eye’s empathetic in-car AI assistant, Sheila, notices this and offers to send the message instead. This moment highlights how the system can detect potentially dangerous distractions. Rather than issuing an aggressive warning telling the driver to focus on the road, Sheila finds a way to empathetically redirect the driver, offering a safe alternative.
Once the driver arrives at daycare and unbuckles their child, they step out of the car, only for Sheila to remind them that their phone has been left behind. It’s a small moment, but one that could prevent frustration and spare them a return trip.
Through a combination of occupant detection, gaze tracking, and intelligent in-car assistance, this scenario demonstrates how Smart Eye’s interior sensing technology fits into daily life – helping drivers stay safe, focused, and a little less stressed.
