有更多的证据表明，司机监控系统正处于突破时刻的风口浪尖。据一位汽车业内人士透露，使用生物识别技术的监控系统正被越来越多的车型采用，事实上，这也解释了为什么中国消费者更青睐国产电动汽车而不是进口汽车。美国和中国正加入欧盟(European Union)的行列，考虑制定生物识别监控器的法规，这以一种不一致的方式增强了人们的乐观情绪。此外，该行业还在新系统设计上投入资金。车载传感器制造商Cipia表示，该公司已签署了中国国有制造商奇瑞国际(Chery International)正在开发的三款乘用车的设计合同。Cipia已经在研究另外三种模型。将于明年上市的所有六款车型都将配备Cipia的生物识别驾驶员感知(Driver Sense)监控系统。据报道，总部位于以色列的Cipia公司的机器视觉可以发现困倦和注意力分散的迹象，确定乘客和司机是否系了安全带或拿着手机。该公司还宣布获得了超过900万美元的融资。据中共机关报《中国日报》报道，今年7月被解雇的大众汽车前董事长赫伯特•迪斯(Herbert Diess)声称，国产电动汽车品牌比进口电动汽车更受欢迎，这主要是由于生物识别监控系统。 Diess pointed to facial recognition capabilities in Guangzhou Automobile Motor Corp.’s Aion Y Plus. It reportedly gauges the mood of the driver and recommends music accordingly, as well as conventional biometric tasks. He also noted that the vehicles use computer vision to automate parking. Stephan Wöllenstein, ex-CEO of Volkswagen China, claimed that China is setting the standard for electric vehicles. “China will lead the auto industry globally for the next 10 to 20 years. Volkswagen must be fully aware of this and deepen its localization efforts,” he reportedly told the China Daily. Earlier this year, Volkswagen announced it was deploying Onfido’s identity verification and face biometric services. Government boost for monitoring systems Trade publication Embedded posted an analysis of legislative activity by a writer who also works for a sensor vendor. At least in the United States, national legislation on biometrics and AI generally happens after enough consumers either buy products or are concerned about products get vocal. Marginal developments are ignored. The proposed Stay Aware For Everyone (SAFE) Act in the United States would fund a study by the Department of Transportation looking at the effects of distracted driving on accident rates and determine if monitoring systems would reduce accidents. In Europe, according to Embedded, the European Union has already started making monitoring mandatory in new vehicles through a 2019 general safety regulation that became law this year. All new cars sold in the EU must have biometric monitoring. And in China, Jiangsu Province government made monitoring mandatory for long-haul trucking and vehicles used to transport hazardous materials and waste. Efforts to adopt the technology nationally reportedly have been hindered by the pandemic.
