LG and Mercedes are working together to produces cars that will monitors the drivers eye to keep them in their lanes with LG providing the mono and stereo camera systems. This will help to dim the headlights, brake autonomously, and spot pedestrians or cyclists. Biometric Systems will also be provided by the Korean company to monitor the driver’s eye movement and alertness, along with mobile and home entertainment expertise. Mercedes will on its part license part of its 6D Vision self-driving tech back to LG to use with other automakers. That joint system will be based on LG’s existing ‘ADAS’ (Advanced Drive Assistance System) products.
The duo are exploring semi-autonomous systems that “allow the driver to transfer some tasks to the intelligent vehicle.” That’s similar to what Volvo and other automakers are doing, and Mercedes has also been testing driver-assist systems in its trucks.
LG also confirmed that it will begin to use its own home entertainment and mobile technology within automobile, so that might seen increased integration with its mobile devices and new options for in-car entertainment.
LG is a member of the Android Auto OAA while Mercedes-Benz is leaning more towards Apple’s CarPlay.
