The driving force behind intelligent vehicles
Reduce the cognitive load on drivers by making sense of, and reacting to, the dynamic world inside and out.
Inside vehicle
Recognising audio events and acoustic scenes inside the car enables vehicles to make intelligent safety adjustments when drivers are potentially distracted, such as increasing distance from the car in front, or improving the quality of audio playback in a noisy car environment.
Outside vehicle
Listening out to the world enables the car to help the driver by making intelligent adjustments, increasing transparency or providing notifications. Examples include detecting emergency vehicles and other important audible cues.
Sound recognition plays a key role alongside the array of other sensors.

Sound recognition is complementary to other sensors used in assisted and autonomous vehicles.
