Sony’s system detects stress or tiredness. It spots anger or calmness too. The car speakers then react. They change the music playing. Soothing sounds might help a stressed driver. Energetic music could fight tiredness. The system personalizes the experience based on mood.
This is more than entertainment. Sony believes it improves safety. A calmer driver focuses better. The system might warn drivers feeling too sleepy. It could suggest a break. This aims to prevent accidents.
Sony engineers combined audio expertise with artificial intelligence. Microphones pick up speech tone. Cameras or steering wheel sensors check heart rate. They watch breathing patterns. The software analyzes this data instantly. It decides the driver’s emotional state.
The company sees this as the future of in-car audio. Sony wants cars to understand passengers too. The technology is still developing. Sony plans testing with car manufacturers soon. They aim for real-world use in coming years.
