For consumers who want a higher level of safety in the car, HARMAN’s In-cabin Monitoring Systems are compatible with various camera and processor configurations.

​Consumers have access to more technology and content than ever before. This can result in drivers and vehicle occupants unknowingly putting themselves and others at risk while driving and performing other tasks. In-cabin monitoring systems detect each vehicle occupant’s unique ability to safely multi-task while in the vehicle, creating more safety on the road.

The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of a connected vehicle head unit or digital cockpit may look no different than a consumer electronic device, but how the interface is connected to the vehicle, consumer, and the OEM ecosystem is far more complex.

[superharmans]

An exponential increase in options and complexity as well as changing automotive ecosystem parameters expand drivers’ human-machine experiences. To respond to these challenges, automotive Human-Machine Interface (HMIs) need to be much more fluid, contextual and relevant to consumers.
