Interior sensing is transforming ADAS by providing critical real-time insights into driver attention, occupant behavior and in-cabin environments. Traditionally, ADAS has relied on external sensors like lidar, radar and cameras to monitor road conditions. However, the integration of interior sensing – such as driver monitoring cameras (DMC), interior radars and sensor fusion – is enhancing decision-making for ADAS in several ways. Driver state monitoring (DSM) helps ADAS assess drowsiness, distraction and cognitive load, enabling adaptive interventions. Occupant monitoring detects seatbelt use, passenger presence and postures to optimize airbag deployment and crash response. Sensor fusion enables context awareness.
