Knowing that the driver is ready to take back control is crucial for a safe switching between autonomous and manual driving. Most automated driving systems on the market today therefore require the driver to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times. Today, this is verified using sensor technology within the steering wheel. However, these systems can easily be fooled. Using existing in-cabin cameras is a cost-effective way to create a hands-on-wheel detection system that is harder to spoof.

In this session, you will learn more about:

• Why hands-on-wheel detection is essential when introducing autonomous driving
• Existing hands-on-wheel sensor solutions and their limitations
• How to reduce the number of false positives using a camera-based solution
