Aptiv Partners With Affectiva To Enable Next-Gen In-Vehicle Experience

Aptiv has signed a commercial partnership agreement with Affectiva to deliver innovative, scalable software to enhance perception capabilities in advanced safety solutions, and reimagine the future of the in-cabin experience. Affectiva is a Boston-based MIT Media Lab spin-off and leader in Human Perception artificial intelligence (AI). This new software that aims to enhance in-vehicle experience will be derived from deep learning architectures, the company noted. Aptiv and Affectiva will be working closely in commercialising advanced sensing solutions for OEM and fleet customers, and to further support the commercial partnership, the former has made a minority investment in Affectiva. Affectiva's patented software is the first multi-modal interior sensing solution to unobtrusively identify complex cognitive states of vehicle occupants in real-time, Aptiv said.
