AI MONITORS DRIVERS TO IMPROVE SAFETY高度な運転支援目指す技術開発

Japanese automakers are tapping the power of artificial intelligence to keep drivers safe. They're planning to equip cars with AI that can detect risks by monitoring body movements.
Honda is working on an AI-based system that tracks not just the conditions around the car, but also the driver’s eye movements at the same time.
The system sounds an alarm if the driver has not been checking the mirrors when another vehicle approaches.
It can also show the movements of any nearby pedestrians in a dedicated display. If the driver is not looking in their direction, the system tugs the seatbelt to draw attention.
Honda says it aims to commercialize the technology in the latter half of the 2020s.
Mazda is also developing a similar driver support system. It uses cameras to monitor eye movements and body posture.
If the driver is detected dozing off, it automatically brings the vehicle to a stop. Mazda plans to start selling cars equipped with the system from next year.
