Researchers from Ford and Intel are working on the
Mobile Interior Imaging. This technology allows the vehicle owners to look in
to the car even from distance through cameras and sensors set in the vehicle.
Apart from this the camera could be combined with facial recognition software
in order to recognize the driver and then permit him to drive or not. Programmable key fob would allow parents
to set restrictions on speed limit, audio volume. The gesture recognition
system along with voice commands is also implemented to simplify tasks like
turning heat up and down or opening and closing a sunroof while driving.
This technology
recognizes different drivers and also adjusts the features depending on the individual
preference. Sometimes certain features are allowed or denied to reduce driver
distraction. No matter key in hand, the car driving time limit can be set even
from remote.
“Our goal with the
Mobii research is to explore how drivers interact with technology in the car
and how we can then make that interaction more intuitive and predictive,” says Paul
Mascarenas, Ford's chief technical officer and vice president for R&D
If this comes out well
then this will really be the car of future.
