The HARMAN Ready Care system is a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solution focused on help drivers to maintain awareness of their surrounding area and more.
The system utilizes a series of sensors to detect if the driver is distracted, tired and more thanks to a built-in infrared shutter camera. The system will detect when the driver is stressed out or not in the best shape for driving to provide solutions. This could greatly enhance the safety of the driver as well as their passengers.
Senior Vice President, Automotive Product Management at HARMAN International Admin Prommersberger commented on the HARMAN Ready Care system saying, "Ready Care is essentially a co-pilot, spotting when distractions could turn into dangerous situations and intervening to avoid them. For the first time, the vehicle can, in a sense, know what the driver is thinking; this is a game changer. We are incredibly proud of and excited by the impact Ready Care will have for drivers, passengers, and everyone on the road."
