Light of sight and mental concentration detection (Eyes and Mind on Road): Ready Care detects the eye activity and mental state of the driver. It is equipped with an infrared global shutter camera and has its own active lighting function. It can detect the driver's face in low and high-light environments, capturing real-time data such as facial expressions, line of sight direction, eyelid opening and closing. The Harman Cognitive Distraction feature detects the driver's visual and cognitive load situation in real time, and identifies and enables multiple cockpit response mechanisms at the same time. This function distinguishes driving tasks from other distracting behaviors and visual and artificial interference by detecting driver cognitive load in real time, and uses customized interventions to maximize driving safety.
Shuxin Line Navigation (Stress-Free Routing): Ready Care is compatible with multiple navigation engines and provides backup route solutions to reduce drivers' driving pressure. The solution will also comprehensively consider real-time factors such as traffic congestion or weather conditions, and make corresponding route adjustments to effectively alleviate drivers' anxiety.
